Hi all,

I cannot compile CPortLaz 1.0 with lazarus 0.9.28.2, nor with daily Lazarus-0.9.28.3-23634-fpc-2.4.0-20100205-win32.exe

The errors are:

C:\lazarus\extras\Cportlaz_v1.0.0\CPortCtl.pas(97,19) Error: No

were 12 errors compiling module, stopping

maybe it is due to the new fpc or the most recent changes to LCL. Each error refers to the properties defined as:

published
    ....
    property Ctl3D;
    ...
    property ParentCtl3D;
    ...

in the following classes

TComComboBox = class(TCustomComboBox)
TComRadioGroup = class(TCustomRadioGroup)
TComTerminal = class(TCustomComTerminal)
where it is: TCustomComTerminal = class(TCustomControl)

is anyone using this (great) package successfully with the recent lazarus/fpc ?

Thanks,

Roberto

Those properties are legacy and have no sense in modern (post win3.11) operative systems, so simple edit your code and remove any reference to Ctl3D or ParentCtl3D it does not affect anything in your code.

Ok, thanks. I have removed all of those references, except for one because the following code is using it:

if FBorderStyle = bsSingle then
    begin
      if Ctl3D then
        Border := SM_CXEDGE
      else
        Border := SM_CXBORDER;
      NewWidth := NewWidth + 2 * GetSystemMetrics(BORDER);
    end;

So I just created that property, instead of inheriting it, and I kept it there. Everything now works fine, but the maintainer of CPortLaz should fix the code on the Lazarus CCR.
Anyone knows him?

thanks again,

Roberto
