Hi all,

I've been struggling a bit trying to get a custom component read for use in Lazarus, but it seems my setbacks are fruitful. I have it working exactly as I want it to under Delphi 2007.

Specifically the problems that I have are:

1. Siting the component at design time causes the mouse down and mouse up events to not the component at runtime it works perfectly, at least in respect to firing the mousedown and mouseup events.

2. I am trying to center text which I draw to the canvas in the OnPaint event vertically. This works also very well in D2007, but does not seem to work correctly in Lazarus, especially with larger fonts, which seem to push the rect written to towards the top of the ClientRect.

I have attached the .pas file created for this component as I'm sure that is something that I am missing in getting it to work correctly in lazarus, although as I said before, its working perfectly under Delphi 2007.

Thanks you for your help.

p.s. I signed up for another account on the bug tracker about between 30 and 45 minutes ago. Is this usual to wait this long to get the confirmation email? I've had many problems trying to get an account activated for some reason, not certain why however. This last time, I opted to create a whole new profile. I have checked and re-checked my junk mail filters and junk mail folder. I am convinced it doesn't like me :)
