Had sqlDB on FPC 2.2 have port property? There's also fpc 2.0.4. The version you're using is really old. For us it's important to know, even if 2.2.0 is brand new, since it saves us time if we don't have to look for a bug which is already fixed in a newer release.

By interface mechanisms I meant: gtk, win api, gnome (???), etc. Probably any existing/external api. There seem to be a lot that I haven't heard of yet and don't know which OSs and architectures they work on etc. One of the open source program problems I have is the amount of reading required to understand what the program is supposed to do in a nut shell and where it does it. I am stuck with Windows XP and DG/UX unix for the moment, but want to move into linux (which version and gui will be interesting - pointers would be useful).

The LCL is documented on the Lazarus web site and that is all you need to worry about. If necessary, you can access gtk, win api etc. directly from Free Pascal, but you need to know how they work. You can find documentation on the GTK and Microsoft websites, this is not provided Free Pascal. If you are a beginner, don't worry about this, simply use the LCL. > One of the open source program problems I have is the amount of reading > required to understand what the program is supposed to do in a nut shell and > where it does it. > I am stuck with Windows XP and DG/UX unix for the moment, but want to move > into linux (which version and gui will be interesting - pointers would be > useful). > Stephen Lazarus should be perfect match for you. Simply install Lazarus, make a quick program (explains itself mostly), and see if it suits your needs.

An alternative to Lazarus's LCL is the fpGUI toolkit. I am actively working on it. It's a more lightweight GUI toolkit talking directly to the underlying windowing system and doesn't rely on any large 3rd Party libraries, so deployment is a breeze. See the link in my signature for more details. You can also download the latest release from SourceForge. http://sourceforge.net/projects/fpgui/ Regards, - Graeme - -- fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
[fpc-pascal] When is TComponent.Loaded called?
Hi, As the subject says. When is TComponent.Loaded called? I'm trying to use it in fpGUI to initialize a few things in a component, but Loaded never seems to execute. Reading the Kylix 3 help, it says Loaded is called by the streaming system that loads the 'form files'. Well fpGUI doesn't use 'form files' (like *.dfm or *.lfm). Instead the GUI Designer creates the components via code in a normal *.pas unit, which is called after the Form's constructor has completed. I gather it is safe to assume the FCL never calls a TComponent's Loaded method anywhere? -- fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

It is called in the streaming code, classes.inc in TReader.ReadRootComponent It's used to perform certain actions which should only be done after all properties are loaded. You should never call loaded directly (in fact, you can't since it is protected). The reason for it's presence is simple: you can't force the order of loading properties. Suppose you have a dataset component: the active property is one of the first to be set: none of the properties which actually matter (SQL, Database etc) are set, so putting active to True would raise an error. Therefore the action of setting 'Active' is deferred till the Loaded call: then the needed properties are normally all set. When creating components in code, it's assumed that you set them in the proper order prior to setting Active.

[fpc-pascal] Client/Server file transfer
I'm needing to create two programs, a client and a server that will take a file via command line parameter, compress, encrypt and send it from one computer to another (possibly over the Net) and decrypt, decompress and save file in original form. In Delphi I would probably use some of the ICS components, but seem to have problems compiling. It seems there is a socket unit in FPC with examples, but I haven't managed to get the 2.0.4 version working on my XP machine - doesn't seem to be firewall problem. For now the two programs don't need a GUI interface. Reason I need to make the programs is because ftp server is too insecure. I'm busy trying to get the latest versions of FPC to see if it works with them. Any advice is welcome, thanks Stephen *--- This E-Mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
