Laz 9.28 win exe forms are blank

**jdarling** · 10-12-2009, 07:20 PM

Ok, I just upgraded from 9.27 to 9.28 on Lazarus all ready to go and have some fun. Re-built my little test application (Just a memo on a form and some quick tests that run across my controls to see that everything is working fine) and ran it. To my surprise, I got a blank form in the top left corner of my screen.

Searched the Lazarus forms (found similar posts, but no replies/answers to them).

Figured its an incompatibility thing, created a new hello world application (simple form with caption set), saved, built, and ran it. Same thing, blank form top left, app filename as title.

What gives? Where did I screw up? I'm sure I have a resource file or something that I missed, but I'd love to know if anyone else has any issues with 9.28. Console applications all run normally and debug file. Windows apps are a complete no go. No debug, no init, no nothing mang

Perhaps I could try your little test app to see it works with my Lazarus?

I'm running 9.28.2 here ATM...

I deleted my old version (9.27....) and insalled 9.28.2. I haven't had any issues yet.

cheers,

Well, I killed off the original project and started a new project just to see if something was wonky in the resource files. New project builds, shows the form properly, but none of the events (create, show, destroy) are fired (can tell by the memo not clearing

)

Download here: http://www.eonclash.com/pgd/vm.zip

It's the start of a C64 emulator built on the basic idea found at http://ed64.eldendo.be/. I've converted his code into a class for 6510 emulation and was starting on building a C64 emulator on top of that class just for grins (hey, why not).

Let me know if it runs and/or if at least the events fire for you. I tried a complete clean install by uninstalling everything, deleting my laz folder completely, and then re-installing 28. No good, went back to 26 and now I have the same problems in it

Must be some type of reg entry or something that is left over that I need to kill off.

hmm...I think that link is bad, it basically takes me to a page like the one here:

but with some images (and menu) not appearing, etc.
