Dear all,

I noticed that
TFilenameedit onchange event is raised differently between win-linux and osx.
Windows and Linux behave in the same way, osx differently.

Onchange event is raised on windows and linux when click ok after file selection. While on osx Onchange is raised only if I directly edit the tfilenameedit.

Additionally, I tried onacceptfilename. It is raised when I select a file using the dialog but TFilenameedit.Filename = '' (win, lin, osx).

Any hints?

Andrea Mauri

FYI, there are few related bug reports about OnChange not firing correctly on Mac OS:

You can help by providing a patch that fixes them. A valid patch will be applied for sure.
I found other similar bug reports and marked them as related to the ones Denis listed.

I don't know. I don't have a Mac.
In general contributors / developers just have to learn the code by debugging and experimenting, little by little. There is no shortcut for it really.

Ok, congratulations. :)
That may hinder the development of course. You must learn the OS, then setup the debugging environment and whatever is needed. I don't know details, I only read that people had trouble debugging there.

Mac development has advanced slowly. Especially Cocoa should be improved ASAP.

Got it.

Yes, there are some issues with debugging. Finally I got gdb workince lldb ing xcode is worse than gdb with lazarus.

What about the fpdebugger?

This is a common Carbon behavior (and Cocoa as well). Carbon "change" event is only triggered whenever an actual user input occurred.
LCL OnChange event is triggered for both an actual user input or a programmatic change.

Naturally, WSCarbon needs to updated to trigger LCL OnChange event whenever a programmatic change occurs.

To be honest, it's surprising to see these issues again (a regression?) since they've been worked on back in 2009-2010.
I might be wrong though, since similar problem might have been reported for TMemo, TComboBox (rather than TEdit)

thanks,
Dmitry
