When I thought that I was close to getting through all of the problems porting an application from Delphi (I think D7-D2007) to FPC/Lazarus I ran across TSpinButton, which is located on a form where config items are set up.
Since Lazarus is unable to load this form I cannot see what it does or how it looks like.

Is there any such component avilable for Lazarus?
According to Google there seems to be a "TSpinButton" in Delphi, but I cannot find it in Delphi7 at least (but I have also lost TSpinEdit from Delphi7...).
What does TSpinButton do and is there a Lazarus companion?

And is there a way in Lazarus to search for a component instead of flipping through all of the palette tabs looking for a candidate image?

Delphi has TUpDown and TSpinButton. If I am correct they are very similar (TUpDown being the WIndows native and TSpinButton being a custom control).

Is there any such component avilable for Lazarus?

The LCL has only the TUpDown.

Main Menu -> View -> Components.

Thanks this was useful!

I could change the code to use TUpDown instead and the form looks OK now in Lazarus. Had to hand edit outside of lazarus...

But now I have very strange errors when I am using Quick Compile to check syntax:

FormTaskProperties.pas(38,14) Error: Identifier not found
"TDateTimePicker"
FormTaskProperties.pas(38,29) Error: Error in type definition
FormTaskProperties.pas(38,5) Error: Symbol cannot be published, can be
only a class
FormTaskProperties.pas(39,14) Error: Identifier not found
"TDateTimePicker"
FormTaskProperties.pas(39,29) Error: Error in type definition
FormTaskProperties.pas(39,5) Error: Symbol cannot be published, can be
only a class

it happens on these lines (38 and 39) in the source at the top where all form components are listed:

    dtpDate: TDateTimePicker;
    dtpTime: TDateTimePicker;

If I switch to form view the two controls are perfectly visible, which I don't think would happen if the control is unknown.

And the component itself *is* available on the Lazarus component palette (Common Controls).

What is causing this really strange error???
And what can I do about it?
Doing a build instead of Quick Compile does not help, same errors...

Maybe a) project don't "require" (project options) needed package for DateTimeCtrl. b) LFM file misses something, check it.
