Who Am I

Full name: Bart Broersma

My homepage: (it is in Dutch). My general software section and my FreePascal and Lazarus units

My goal :-)

To keep Fpc and Lazarus Windows98/WinME compatible. I therefore implemented a replacement (and a very simple fallback) for WideStringManager.UpperWideStringProc and WideStringManager.LowerWideStringProc using the shlwapi.dll library. http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/packages/winunits-base/src/win9xwsmanager.pp?view=markup

Lazarus interests

Maintaining the Maskedit unit.

Contributions

Lazarus

• My very first contribution to Lazarus: TCustomSynEdit.SearchReplace function always returns 0
• My first serious contribution to Lazarus TFindDialog is broken was applied in revision 11490
• One major rewrite and several minor revisions of the maskedit unit.
• Fix setting TOpenDialog/TSaveDialog initialdir on WinVista and up
• Make MessageDlg default button work on Windows Vista and up
• Respect MessageDlg DefaultButton parameter if mbOk is displayed (in co-operation with Flávio Etrusco)
• Fixed TSaveDialog/TOpenDialog.Filter to change the file's extension when it's empty
• Things assigned to me, open, fixed or otherwise.

FreePascal

• My very first patch for FreePascal: EInOutError.ErrorCode is always 0
• My first serious patch for FreePascal: StrToTime gives wrong result on invalid timestring, or chokes on it
• ForceDirectories() fails if directory is UNC path
• OLE automation errors
• GetLocaleFormatSettings() does not set locale for ListSeparator on Windows
