Introduction

Need a particular feature? Set a price here, giving a short description, your name and email address. Hopefully, one or more people will contact you and you can arrange the terms of this development work.

Currently, Lazarus depends on volunteers to implement everything on it. Recently Lazarus popularity has increased a lot, and many commercial projects are being developed with it. The idea behind the Bounties is not to substitute the current Mantis bug system, where work will continue normally. The idea is to provide a new development mechanism where commercial application developers can receive professional support and at the same time be able to contribute back to the community.

Example:

  • Make Lazarus hello world work on PamOS 5 Garnet. $500 Contact myemail@domain.com
  • Add new component. $100 Contact myemail@domain.com

Multi-platform bounties

Visual Form Inheritance (VFI) - $400

by Graeme Geldenhuys (graemeg at gmail.com)

Requirements:

For example: FormA adds a Button and a Edit component. FormB descends from FormA, so I can see the Button and Edit in FormB. For now, FormB looks identical to FormA.

  • The dialog 'File - New...' will have to change, so you can select existing forms in your project to descend from.
  • You cannot delete components introduced in ancestral forms. Using the example above - you cannot delete the Button in FormB. Lazarus should popup and say in was introduced in a ancestral form. I know Visual Studio puts a little image of a lock or something in the corner of the component, to visually show that it was introduced in a ancestral form, but this is not that important, only a nice-to-have.
  • You must can change the properties of the Button and Edit components in FormB. eg: Change the Caption of the Button, Resize the Button, etc.
  • If you move the Button in FormA and you haven't modified (overridden) any of the positioning properties of the Button in FormB, the Button in FormB will also move.
  • Continuing from the previous point. If you have moved the Button in FormB (overriding the position values), moving the button in FormA, will have no affect in FormB. This is normal class inheritance behaviour, FormB overrides the properties set by FormA.
  • 'Revert to inherited' to context menu. It should remove any changes made to the selected component.
