Hi everyone, anyone using instantobjects with fpc/lazarus? Any clue about installing instantobjects in lazarus under linux (ubuntu 8.04)?
Thanks in advance.
Goodbye.

I remember reading months ago that somebody was attempting a to port IntstantObjects to FPC/Lazarus, but i have no idea if they actually completed it. I guess the IO mailing list might might be your best option.

Alternatively, you could try the tiOPF framework
(http://www.tiopf.com). We stopped porting the tiOPF-aware components to LCL in exchange for a much better design. We use the Model-GUI-Mediator design pattern to make any standard components "object aware". I use it like that for the fpGUI toolkit, Michael van Canneyt uses it with LCL and a few others us it with Delphi's VCL. It is a very powerful and flexible design. All code and demos are available in the tiOPF repository.

For any further information regarding the tiOPF, please direct your questions to the tiOPF support newsgroup. [news://news.tiopf.com]

I'm working on InstantObjects, but the problem is that it's very incompatible with current LCl UTF8, many ansistrings functions, a lot of bugs, and nesteddatasets list is in heavy usage.The results are not good so far, however I was able to create new SQLDB connector for instantobjects and have most of GUI controls compilable, yet a lot of bugs prevent it to be usable.

It's not available in public, maybe later.
