I have a problem that has the same origin, I think. Using a TcyAdvButton, I am unable to show a glyph. Tracing this I found (probably only in a Windows environment) that the procedure TcyBaseButton.CNDrawItem is never called, so the button's properties are never painted.
There are many problems with painting and the Cindy components. For instance, try the project C:\codetyphon\CodeOcean\Cindy\samples\cyAdvSpeedButton\cyAdvSpeedButtonDemo.lpi Under my 32 bit Windows Vista environment, it totally fails to deliver!
Under Delphi, there are no such problems, so it must be the port to Lazarus, causing it

Keep up the good work

Hello,

i found a bug in cyAdvSpeedutton (in example cyAdvSpeedButtonDemo):

the variable aState will not set (with bsHot) when i move the mouse over a Button - no entry exists in the file.
it exist bsUp, bsDown... but not bsHot

is there here a bug report??

It's bugging me, if one gets here no answer!!

Hi mtbf40,

mauriciopt continues to update his components - have you looked to see if the latest changes he's made fix these bugs? He may not be monitoring this forum so it might be better to email him direct, the latest version of these components is 4.45 (the version in CT2.70 is 4.42 but will probably be updated to the latest at the next CodeTyphon release) although it maybe this version still hasn't got these particular fixes, you can download the latest here;

sourceforge.net/projects/tcycomponents/

you can probably take the newer *.pas files from the relebvant folders in the archive and (maybe) just drop them over the existing ones in the relevant folder which should be;

c:\codetyphon\lazarus\components\pl_Cindy\source

(assuming Win32) and then recompile.

The difficult with trying to get Lazarus (and therefore any associated components) to work just like Delphi (for which these components were originally written) is that things like the messaging functionality need to work across all platforms (Windows, Linux & OSX) and that isn't easy, especially when the operating systems are fundamentially different and Linux has so many GUI front-ends - GTK, GTK2, QT, etc (unlike Win32 [and in some regards OSX] which really has just one regardless of which you run XP, Vista, Win7 etc) - it's a testament to the FPC/Lazarus developers that this can work at all.

"He may not be monitoring this forum"

Maybe yes

I have just added MouseOver property to public on cySpeedButton.pas and cyAdvSpeedButton.pas and it will avaible on next Cindy release (v4.50)!

Because i' m not working on Cindy port to CodeTyphoon, i'm not sure that this are the correct file and if they have already added this property on cyBaseSpeedButton.pas.

Mauricio

We waiting your release Sir

Is a good idea to make pl_Cindy sub-forum?

What is pl_Cindy sub-forum ?

Mauricio

General Purpose/pl_Cindy category
at this forum

Single forum is good for me: more simple to monitor.

Mauricio

Thx for your answers

Cindy v5.0 released (for Delphi) !

Cindy website

Added DBExpress components and the major news is ... TcyDocER (may be easy to port )

TcyDocER extract document information (mail, phone, amounts etc ...) using OCR results from any source like Tesseract (open source) or Transym (comercial but cheap, fast, easy and powerful). There' s no demo of TcyDocER for now but i will working on it!

Regards,
Mauricio

Thanks Sir
we will work on this version

@mauriciopt:
I enjoy the enthusiasm you exhibit in releasing new Cindy features.

However, the CodeTyphon port does not work very well.

I would very much appreciate it if you could have a look at the pervasive problem of glyphs on buttons.
Will you have a look at this topic: Topic 1796
The problem, ie why it does not work, is explained there.

Thanks!

Sir
always you can help us and
with your Cindy source modifications...

The problem is not with the Cindy components. The problem is with the inadequate port of Lazarus of the Windows message structure. In this case, the CN_DRAWITEM message is not sent (needed by TcyBaseButton to draw the glyph), because the WM_DRAWITEM Windows message is not handled by Lazarus.

This may be cured, but only if one has intimate knowledge of the Cindy software. Someone (and I presumed mauriciopt is the right person for that) has to look into this and come up with an alternative for the dead CN_DRAWITEM handler.

@RockyLuck: i anderstand what' s the problem but:
- i don' t have any experience with Lazarus.
- I' don' t participate on "Cindy for Lazarus"
Maybe, this will change one day ...

I' m pretty sure that the persons who are porting Cindy will find a solution.

Mauricio

PS: TcyDocER (very great component, no demo for now) have been developped with in mind its port for Lazarus.
I think that its port will be very easy.

If you cannot solve this, at least can you give us some pointers in which direction to look when the WM_DRAWITEM message is not present.

Which alternative method would you pursue?

Thanks a million.
