Hi,
I found that some parts, which I used very often in Delphi7, cause now programs if a migrate to Lazarus
.
E.g. I need to remove Windows stuff like printer setup dialogs, messagebeep, winexec, etc. This is expected, and often easy because I can simply comment these things out.
BUT, what about things placed in formulars, like a component gfvcl which gave me a gradient fill in Delphi?
Or how to change a spinbutton to updown component of Lazarus?
The problem is that Lazarus simply does not open the forms. It would be good to instruct Lazarus just to skip reading-in such Windows-Delphi-specific stuff, but how?
What would also help is a text view for formulars, like in Delphi. Then I could edit within this text view. But I have not found such feature in Lazarus yet.
Any hints are highly welcome, thanks!
Bye Stephan
