Introduction
The LCL-CustomDrawn Backends
LCL-CustomDrawn needs backends to implement the most basic parts of the widgetset. Each backend should implement the following minimal parts:
- TWidgetSet.Run, ProcessMessages, etc
- TForm
- TWinControl with all events
- TTrayIcon
TCanvas
TCanvas will be fully non-native in this widgetset.
Windowed visual controls
All Windowed visual controls (TButton, TPageControl, etc) will be based in the Lazarus Custom Drawn Controls
Conditional defines accepted by LCL-CustomDrawn
- VerboseCDPaintProfiler - Adds profiling information to indicate how fast the paint event is processed
- VerboseCDWinAPI - Extended verbose information for LCLIntf calls
- VerboseCDForms - Extended verbose information for TWSCustomForm methods and about the non-native form from customdrawnproc (when utilized)
- VerboseCDEvents - Extended verbose information for native events (for example mouse click, key input, etc). This excludes the paint event
- VerboseCDPaintEvent - Debug info for the paint event
- VerboseCDApplication - Verbose info for App routines from the Widgetset object
- VerboseCDMessages - Verbose info for messages from the operating system (Paint, keyboard, mouse)
