Of course you can use fpGUI without Lazarus. Normally adding the unit
directory of fpGUI as -Fu option should be enough, but maybe some defines
are also needed. Take a look at the fpGUI website for more information.
In principle you could even use the LCL without Lazarus.
The question that strikes me here is why you would prefer Notepad instead
of an IDE like Lazarus? An IDE simplifies coding a lot by providing various
code completion and refactoring functionality and you don't need to use
it's visual designer if you don't want to.

[fpc-pascal] Find/open files in search paths

2014-07-20 Thread denisgolovan
Hi all

Does anybody know if Lazarus IDE has something similar to View units (Ctrl+F12) 
tool, but searching in all search paths defined in project settings?
It would allow to open modules much quicker than using standard Open file 
dialog.

NotePad is an interesting choice. In a push I would maybe prefer Free
Pascal's Text IDE before I use NotePad.  I'll give you the benefit of
the doubt and believe you are referring to NotePad++ instead. ;-)

Yes of course you can use fpGUI without Lazarus. fpGUI doesn't depend on
any IDE or editor. To make compiling easier from the command line, fpGUI
includes compilation scripts for the framework. It also includes
extrafpc.cfg files in the "examples" directory which sets some last
minute paths and compiler options. These *.cfg files are handy for your
own projects too.

 eg:
  cd /examples/apps/ide/src/
  fpc @extrafpc.cfg maximus.lpr

I recommend you use the latest fpGUI source code from the Git repository:

  git clone https://github.com/graemeg/fpGUI.git

I've just started the v1.2 release branch for testing.

The docs/INSTALL.txt file describes how to compile fpGUI, and how to use
it from various IDE's (FP Text IDE, Lazarus, MSEide, Maximus - fpGUI's
own demo app) or from the command line.

If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to pop over to the
support newsgroup. There are many fpGUI users more than willing to help
you along the way. The following URL has details for the newsgroup.

[fpc-pascal] fpGUI v1.2 release branch ready for testing

2014-07-20 Thread Graeme Geldenhuys
Hi,

I've started the v1.2 release cycle, and created a 'release-1.2' branch.
This means there is a feature freeze on that specific branch, and only
bugfixes will be applied. Please test and let me know in the support
newsgroup of any bugs you might find.

fpGUI repository on Github:
  git clone https://github.com/graemeg/fpGUI.git

Info on connecting to the NNTP news server for support:
  http://fpgui.sourceforge.net/support.shtml


Many thanks.

Regards,

The shading of ifdefs in the syntax highlighting that Lazarus acquired a
while(year?) back is seriously addictive. If I work in Lazarus only one day
I already miss it when I go back to Delphi.

Hi!

 

Thank you for the informations. Next days I try to install fpGUI another time.

 

I am really writing my programs on NotePad, not Notepad++ or something like that. I do not need the colour-games, but I want to hold control about that, what I am doing. For me the NotePad ist the right thing. If you need something else, take that.

 

Bye, Holger.

There's the Code Browser. It's not as convenient as the Open
Type/Resource dialogs in Eclipse yet - but I bet patches in that
regard are also welcome :-)

Then you might like MSEide. I also don't like color-games and want to have 
full control about what happens.
There is also MSEgui, a very sophisticated gui-toolkit.

Sorry for butting in. But wanna ask:-
Does the latest fpgui have TFpgStringGrid  have the method
'LoadFromCSVFile' as in lcl TStringGrid?

Is it trivial to add?

warm regards
