Lazarus Wrappers
« on: August 02, 2002, 07:19:38 am »
Howard_C: Do your wrappers work in Win98?  I got the ZiNc one to work 1st time in XP, but I can't get the exit key thing to work in '98 :(.  I was just using the wrapper from a command-line rather than using Lazarus.

Nice work on the FE btw, the way the lists are used (standardised) is certainly a good step forward.  Apart from now I should get my act together and use a similar method for my FE :)

Yeah they work fine on 98, but the development team of zinc boo-boo-ed.  :)  There isn't a way to safely kill the process other than pressing escape for that particular emulator.  I've tried everything from sending the close command to "pressing" alt-f4.  They all start to close the app but crash half-way through it.  

Sorry

there isn't one... but the generic command line wrapper is pre-configured for zinc if you'll read the caption below. ;)

I set the 'exit' key to space bar, and this worked PERFECTLY on the XP machine :)  Just doesn't seem to work on my Win98 PC :(

Actually I don't care about ZiNc as I want to use Escape to quit anyway.  I just tried that as a test as ZiNc was the only emu I had at work ;)

Ok that's the problem.... in 98 the wrapper is limited to the keys you can assign... shift keys (space,shift,ctrl,alt) generally won't work.  Note that that is only for key detection though, so you can still send those keys.  At least in theory... i don't own  any 98 boxes anymore so I can't test it.
