Hi Mattias and All Lazarus Fans,

2008/8/5 Mattias G?rtner :

Okay, sounds fair ;-)

But: The LCL uses lfm/lrs files instead of .res files for forms, because the current stable compiler does not support res files on all lazarus platforms.

Okay

Here is the problem. This code was actually written by one of the Borland Delphi 'Teams' at the Borland Delphi programming newsgroups -- many years ago. { I don't recall whether it was 'Team A' or 'Team B' } I mention this in explanation that I don't really understand fully how the code works. It worked fine under Borland Delphi 7 Select Edition.

The TTabFrame form does *NOT* exist in the folder... it is created /programmatically/ !!! So... I don''t have a dfm/res unit for it.

I have attached "PageDlgUnit1.pas" -- which is the Delphi 7 Select Edition pascal file which defines the TTabFrame forms and creates and frees them. (It's a 4KB file!)

BTW -- Thank you for your quick and prompt reply ;-)))

I guess the TTabFrame is defined in the unit FrameUnit? Can you send me the code of this unit?

Notes:
- Each TFrame descendant must have a resource stream, otherwise a EResNotFound exception is raised. This is Delphi compatible.

- Frames are an experimental feature in lazarus. They will be enabled in 0.9.27. See here for more details:

Hi Mattias and All,

I'm sending you a lot of small Lazarus files related to this problem I'm having. ;-)))

I hope I'm not sending too many files to you. They're only small ;-)

------------------ file "FrameUnit.pas -------------------------
unit FrameUnit;
{$MODE Delphi}
interface
uses
  Forms, Controls, Classes, StdCtrls, LResources;
type
  TTabFrame = class(TFrame)
    Memo1: TMemo;
  private
    { Private declarations }
  public
    { Public declarations }
  end;
implementation
initialization
  {$i FrameUnit.lrs}
end.

Thanks again for your help

Best Wishes,
