persistent blocks

(1/2) > >>

MartinScs1:
I decided to write a simple program in Lazarus just to try it. Seems to work well. Only I am used to work in Delphi in the classic way, with persistent blocks on, which you do not seem to have implemented. Will you do that in the future? Otherwise great stuff, boys! :)

Zaher:
What is "persistent blocks"?

MartinScs1:
When Persistent blocks is on a selected block will "persist", that is remain active, even if you change the cursor position without doing anything with the block at that time. It is a remnant of the old Turbo Pascal time, but I find it very handy and use it all the time. In fact, I find the other way of working with selected blocks, which are invented I think by Microsoft, very irritating.

I'd really love to see this in lazarus

Zaher:
I am not understand, but i think you meant for POS application we need to take all key to one edit, not in the active edit (the focused), it useful for barcode scanning.
What useful "persistent blocks" for?
