Issue with Events
lazarus / 10-Designer

I've been using Lazarus without issues for a while.  Because I wanted
to use generics (TFPGObjectList specifically).  I saw there was a
feature missing realted to enumeration with FPC 2.4.2.  So I
downloaded and setup FPC 2.5.1.  I pulled latest from svn for Lazarus
and rebuilt Lazarus.

One note, Lazarus still points to fpc 2.4.2 source code because I have
not downloaded 2.5.1 source yet.

Whenever I go to the events tab of object inspector and click any of
the dropdowns, I get an error from Lazarus about an error in the fpc
source code (: expected but = found).  This only occurs if I include
the unit fgl in my code (even if I don't reference it).

I was able to compile my code without errors (including code which
used fgl code).  It's just the events will not work for me (and I
don't know how to manually add events to a control).

Does the IDE use the fpc source and check it for compilation when I
click on one of the events dropdown, so pointing to older sources
causes an issue even though I am not trying to compile fpc itslef?

Using Windows 2000

Any ideas?

I tested this on another machine with Windows XP.  The same thing
happened.  I then downloaded and installed latest FPC sources and
pointed Lazarus config for FPC sources to the latest and everything
started working again.  So I will try that on the original machine
(away from that machine today).  So it appears when you add a unit to
your code, Lazarus does look at it when you use the events part of
designer.  I'll update after testing with the original machine.

Finally got around to testing and yes, adding the newer sources for
FPC fixed the issue.
