Bug in Calendar control under Mac OS X?
lazarus / 33-macOS - Mac OS X

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello everybody.

When I select the last day of the month from the Calendar control, I
get the first day instead of the last.

Is it a bug or am I missing something?

This is the code I use to get the date selected:

Code: [Select]txtDate.Text :=
FormatDateTime('dd/mm/yyyy',MonthCalendar.DateTime);

In the code above, txtDate is an EditBox while MonthCalendar is the
Calendar control.

Please notice that the problem only occurs when you select the last
day of each month. Any other date is returned correctly.

Any help will be appreciated.

You are right, I can reproduce the problem here (Lazarus 0.9.30.4, Mac
OS X 10.5, PPC G5). I would recommend to submit a bug report at
bugs.freepascal.org.

Thanks for your confirmation. I don't have much practice using the
procedure to submit the bug. If you think it's important, you may want
to take care of it yourself.

This issue has been fixed in Lazarus 1.0.

Hey guys, Lazarus 1.0 is out. It is better than 0.9.30 in many ways.
You should use it.

Please close the bugreport, since it has been solved in 1.0.
I already marked it as resolved.

Thanks. This is a good reason to upgrade to version 1.0. I don't know
how to uninstall the previous version, though.

Do you know if there is a step-by-step tutorial showing how to
uninstall Lazarus 0.9 under Mac?

You don't need an unistaller as long as you haven't installed a GM
edition of the same version. Upgrading from 0.9 to 1.0 should be
easily done by simply installing Lazarus 1.0 (and, if required FPC
2.6.0 and the corresponding FPC SRC archive. FPC 2.4 will definitively
not work with Lazarus 1.0.). Outdated files are automatically
overwritten by the installer.

What happens if you have installed some add-ons such as Power PDF or
LazReport? Will they have to be installed again?

Yes unfortunately. Hopefully all you'll need to do is go to the Tools
menu and select 'Build Lazarus with Normal: IDE'. If that dosen't do
it, you'll have to install the additional components one at a time.
But the effort is well worth it because Lazarus 1.0 IS the great leap
forward.
