Hello all

I am trying to implement printing in my app and want to use the printdialog included with lazarus. I have dropped the print dialog on the form and set it to appear when a button is clicked.

When the printdialog.execute function is executed an exception is generated. The exception is
"Project raised exception class 'EReadError' with message: Unknown property :"Caption""

This is followed by

"Project raised exception class 'EReadError' with message: Error reading pgCopies.Caption: Unknown property :"Caption""

I have tried all the suggestions I could found on the wiki and the delphi site.

my code is as follows:

unit Unit1;
{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
interface

uses
Classes, SysUtils, FileUtil, Forms, Controls, Graphics, Dialogs, StdCtrls, Printers, PrintersDlgs;

type
  { TForm1 }
  TForm1 = class(TForm)
    Button1: TButton;
    PrintDialog1: TPrintDialog;
    procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
  private
    { private declarations }
  public
    { public declarations }
  end;
var
  Form1: TForm1;
implementation
{$R *.lfm}

{ TForm1 }

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  if printdialog1.execute then
  begin
    writeln(' ');
  end;
end;
end.

This problem occurrs with lazarus 0.9.29 revision 28950 and fpc 2.4.0 in linux with gtk2

Any suggestions or corrections would be gratefully received.

Thanks for your reply Maxim

However, I have found that the problem only occurs on my laptop. On my desktop at work ( which is supposed to be an identical installation of lazarus ), it works fine.
