I have problems with format function.
If I set:

   f:= -0.0002;

and then I do:

   Edit1.Text:= FormatFloat('0.000', f);
   Edit2.Text:= format('%.0f', [f]);
   Edit3.Text:= format('%.3f', [f]);

The results I obtain are:
-0.000
-0
-0.000
While they should be:
0.000
0
0.000
I have to report a bug to mantis fpc-rtl?

Yes, although I think there is still a related bug open in FPC/rtl. Please search first.

We can help you only if you show your debugger log: View -> Debug windows -> Debug output.

I checked the debug output notice where it was saving it to .... noticed it was saving the project in my docs directory and i'm on Win7 .. thats the prob,i've solved it by saving it to a fresh directory in c:\apps\build ( my test dir)

no, it's already reported by me

I already submitted, so the 0015957 and 0015958 bugreports should be removed.

Marc, Mattias, Paul, et al, I volunteer if you want somebody having specific tasks in "sanitizing"/triaging the mantis issues...

These issues are already resolved as dupllicates and are not in the way (certainly not, if you close them, Andrea).

See http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Moderating_the_bug_tracker for instructions about the Lazarus bug tracker.

how can I test the fixes to 2.4.0?

I have to dowload the sources of fpc from svn (/branches/fixes_2_4)? Is it enough to change the fpc sources directory in lazarus options? maybe these questions are trivial, sorry.
thanks, andrea

When i create forms that dont have the title bar i typically use the windows message WM_NCHITTEST to capture the mouse movements but i cant get it to work

anyone got any ideas - my form has no titlebar and all i want to do is be able to click on it and move it.

Justin Smyth

WM_NCHITTEST is not possible to implement cross-platform.

Better if you will think about another solution than try to reuse a windows only feature in LCL application.

Best regards,
Paul Ishenin.

Under linux there's no need to do anything: just alt+drag anywhere on the window and it will move.
Under window there's a recipe on how to hook messages in the wiki, but I cannot access the wiki right now so I cannot give a link.

Bye

Thanks Guys i have found a way around this in my form i get it to call the windows message itself when it detects Mouse Down & MouseMove ( on mousedown set a variable to say move = true and in mousemove send off a windows message something like this SendMessage (Handle, WM_NCHITTEST, 2, 0); )

Seems to work compaired it to the code i used in D12 , same effect ...

Use compiler from this branch:
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/branches/fixes_2_4

I supposed it.
I have two questions:
1. once downloaded the fixes, I have to compile it and use it? How can I do that?
2. Is the fixes branch stable? Can I use it for development? Actually I have 2.4.0 installed from binaries, how can I compile and say to lazarus to use the fixes branch?
Thanks,
andrea

Yes. See buildfaq: http://www.stack.nl/~marcov/buildfaq.pdf

It is quite stable for me, but nonetheless you should use it only if you know what you are doing. Lazarus can be pointed to new compiler binary in Environment -> Options.
