Hi Folks,
Are there plans for StateImages support in TListView ?
With best regards,

No. But maybe you have some?
Best regards,
Paul Ishenin.
Hi Paul,
Thank you!
I can probably work, on the Windows side, but I am not familiar enough with the rest of the platforms :-( .
I am prting some design packages so they can be compiled both in Delphi and Lazarus, and some of them rely on both images and status images in the ListView.
Are status images or something equivalent available in Qt and Carbon ?

It would be nice if under Mac OS X, any sort of Images in ListViews were supported.
Someone did mention a while ago, that they were looking into it, but I'm not sure what came of that.

SmallImages property is supported by Carbon TListView. But vsReport is the only ViewStyle supported.
thanks,

Hi Dmitry,
Even though SmallImages is supported, you can't actually display them can you, because vsReport only displays columns?
So doesn't that essentially mean that assigning the SmallImage property is largely useless? Or am I missing something?
Dominique.

vsReport display only columns. But if SmallImages are assigned, the title of the first column is preceeded with images from SmallImages list, of if the ListView item has ImageIndex >= 0. Assigning SmallImages is very useful.
See the screenshot at the project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/devwork/ It uses TListView with SmallImages and ViewStyle = vsReport
Assiging LargeImages as well as using other ViewStyles are useless (for now), but there's a bug report about it, already.
thanks,
dmitry
I've never noticed the small icons to the left in vsReport view.
I will check it out tonight.

Hi Paul,
Thank you!
I am already looking into the options to add experimentally the support for it in Windows, and will do my best to do it for Qt. I have just noticed that the ListView has indeed StateImages property, so somebody has already started adding the support, but the work is just not finished, so any work I do obviously will be beneficial :-) . I will see how far I can get.
I think, it is better to work to add the functionality in Lazarus rather than altering the design packages to work around the limitation.

For my app having SmallImages viewable would be better, but I think the client will accept this version for now.
Thanks for pointing it out.

I am adding the StateImage support for the Windows version, and it seems that adding missing properties is not that difficult. The architecture of the LCL implementations seems very straightforward and simple to expand on. You can probably spend some time to add the missing functionality in the TWSCustomListView descendant class for the platform where it is missing. If you are familiar with the platform, it seems very straightforward ;-) . Indeed it is so simple that even I seem to be able to do it :-D .

Hi Paul,
It seems that I have completed the implementation in Windows, and so far it seems to work well. I am now working to change the ListView item editor to allow editing the state.
In the next few days I will see if I can figure out how to implement the same functionality in Qt.
What is the recommended way to get the changes in the repository?

Very good.

First of all you need to perform all this changes using svn version: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus#Installing_from_source_2
For windows use tortoise svn.
Then after editing you can do a patch and attach it to the bug tracker issue. Then one of the developers can take it and apply.
Best regards,
Paul Ishenin.
Hi Paul,
Thank you!
Actually somebody already had even prepared the design editor for StateImages . I had to only set the components to Visible and uncomment 2 commented out lines of code :-D .
Are there any other Windows SVN UIs aside from tortoise . I have had bad experience with tortoise CVS in the past since it is Windows Explorer plug-in. It used to slow down my system, and occasionally crash the Windows explorer, so I am very nervous about installing tortoise SVN.

You can install a command line client. Then you will be able to checkout the sources using:
mkdir lazarus
svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk lazarus
But I think you will have more pleasure with tortoise svn anyway. It has much more usability than command line tool.

You need to use the make program from the fpc bin directory.
For example my build_win32.bat file looks so:
@echo off
d:\programming\fpc\bin\i386-win32\make.exe bigide OPT="-gh" if ERRORLEVEL 2 goto buidend
del lazarus.win32.exe /Q
ren lazarus.exe lazarus.win32.exe
:buidend

Thank you!
I am actually rebuilding it from the IDE now. Is that a problem? I have just finished integrating my changes into the checked out version and rebuilding now.

No problems. I usualy build LCL from the IDE too. But usually use my build script when I want to rebuild the whole IDE since I don't need more packages than bigide target has.

Paul Ishenin.
Hi Paul,
I think I am done. I actually have a large number of packages that I am porting to the IDE - 20 or so packages with well over 200 components ;-) . They are all ported and work in Windows, and now I am porting the design time packages, and making them Delphi/Lazarus compatible.
How do I create the patch?

Depends on the tool you use.
If it is tortoise svn then:
1. Right click on your lazarus folder
2. choose menu tortoise svn -> create patch ...
3. save it and create a bug report with it
If it is a command line tool then:
1. cd to the lazarus folder
2. execute: svn diff > mypatch.patch
3. create a bug report with it
Best regards,
Paul Ishenin.

I hope I have not screwed it ;-) . The patch file seems about right, but we will see.

On the first sight there are no problems except the changes in:
components/codetools/identcompletiontool.pas

Hi Paul,
I guess you can ignore it. Without it I can't recompile the IDE. I guess it is some code that is not used in the Lazarus any more but is marked for rebuild on my system from older Lazarus install.

You can also get the source code using Git. It should be a smaller and faster download than SVN. Plus you will end up having the full history and various branches - yet it is still a smaller download than a single SVN checkout.

Hi Boian,
I'd love to add the SmallImages functionality to Mac OS LCL, my limitation is time and lack of knowledge of the underlying Mac OS API calls necessary to implement this custom behaviour.
Once I've finished this port, I'll try and give something useful back the Lazarus and FreePascal projects.
Dominique.

Hi Vincent,
Thank you!
I have installed the Lazarus recently from the fpc 2.3.1 mirror. My About box however sais 2.2.2 . How do I make sure it uses the right one?

Any hope of this patch being applied? This functionality is extremely critical for us. I am working to release Lazarus version OpenWire www.openwire.org ASAP, and this is a must have functionality. I am finishing the port of the design time packages and then the project will be ready for Lazarus release if the StateImages are available in Lazarus.

BTW: I have also posted the current version of OpenWire on SourceForge - https://sourceforge.net/projects/openwireproject/ , and if anybody is interested in working on the support for other operating systems than Windows, is welcome to join the project :-) . I am already working on a Linux port, but any help there will surely be also appreciated.
