Gambas

I wondered how to interpret this as my svn won't update.

svn: Aborting commit: '/home/richard/coding/gambas2/trunk/.settings' remains 
in conflict

Regards

Richard

Recently built a snapshot of the gambas2 svn tree (revision 1601) as
instructed by beniot to fix a problem with the forms not translating
and the IDE crashing as I tried.

That got fixed, however, now I have this other problem that didn't happen before

I get this error when I try to modify objects on a form. See attached screenshot

Please advice... thanks

I made two forms in the IDE.

I want the form Test2 only to appear after the form Test1 is closed.

Can I let the program wait for the first Form to be closed?

PUBLIC SUB Main()

  FormTest1.Show()
  ' wait till FormTest1 is closed ?
  FormTest2.Show()

  ...

Now I'm trying to convert a project from Gambas1 to Gambas2...

There is a string array "listedat[]" which I want to sort. The original 
code was

listedat.Sort(gb.Language)

Gambas2 says "Bad string conversion", but I can't detect anything wrong 
here, the editor proposes to write it this way.

So what's wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Moreover, each time a control related to an action is clicked, or activated, a 
public procedure named "Action_Activate" is called in the form, with the 
action name as argument. This way, you can centralize the management of all 
actions in a same form.

You have to remember all of them (using an array, for example), or use 
the "last" in a event handler to kill the one who received the event, or 
cycle through them using FMain.children().
Every time you execute the above instruciotn, the variable windowpanel 
looses its previous content, so you "forget" the last panel.

Version 1603.

Much improved, however one problem.

ONe cannot click at the start of the line, which can make copy and paste 
difficult.

Hi,

I send the project about raising GetPage event.

Look at FMain.class:26; the only way I found to get getPage event is to
instantiate fmPreview.obs from Fmain.
I tried to create it inside the fmPreview.setup() method, and attach it
to blah blah blah; this is why in FMain:21 fmPreview.setup() is called
with a parameter "ME".

fmPreview.obs is disposed in fmPreview.form_close().


Also, I have some problems with rendering fonts in preview - they are
imprecise, and some manipulation comes from practical tries, without a
right knowledge. All the things are a little messy, but if you quickly
see something wrong, any advice is appreciated.
The biggest problem is to calculate the true width of a printed text,
when this text is not actually printed on the true printer surface, but
on a scaled-down surface (a DrawingArea).

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,
Doriano Blengino

As a workaround, I think you can set it in the constructor (_new) instead of 
Form_Open. It should work.

Hi, Im making a program where I can toggle the menus visibility via CTRL+M.
The shortcuts in the menues does not work if the menus are not visible. I have 
solved this by making a popup menu, but is there nother way?

Also, is there a quicker way to toggle the menu bar in one single command? Now 
I am hiding/showing the top most menues one at a time.

Hello, i'm new to Gambas, using it for some basic apps.

I was wondering how you get the focus of a specific tab on the tab
container control. The only focus i can seem to apply is of the
control itself, rather than individual tabs.

Hi,

To do that, you must set the Type property of your Form to "Panel".
Another way it's to let this property to "Normal" and to set the Border 
property to False.

Hi,

I see that Ubuntu now installs Gambas 2.8.2 by default. This is grand news.
I am interested to know whether such a change would have been instigated
from Ubuntu itself or from the Gambas community. I do not know how
Ubuntu/Debian select packages for inclusion.

If the impetus comes from Ubuntu/Debian then I am sure it is good news.

2.8.2 is also on the cover disk of the latest Linux Format (LXF111) magazine
though without much editorial comment. They do describe it as "a structured,
modular language that's great for quickly hacking together graphical
programs".

Hi everybody.
I'm writing my first Gambas application after a lot of years of VB, and
there is on thing I can't foun in help or in the books i have:
In a bound control as DataBrowser, how I can access to the database Events?
(movenext, eof, etc.)?
In detail:
I have a recordsource who has a databrowser an a few fields for edit (like
the example DataBase of Gambas) but in addition, there are, hanging of same
recordsource, another recordsource bounded to another table (who mantains a
father-child dependence with MySQL InnoDB ) and another databrowser and his
own few fields.
when I select a record from first databrowser, the second databrowser is not
positionated until I make a .movefirst (or next or last) event in the second
databrowser.
How can I raise this event automaticaly?

Excuse my poor English. I don't know if all this text has any sense...
Thanks

This is possible now, thanks to the changes in the gb.desktop component from 
revision #1617.

1) The DesktopWindow class now allows to change the Minimized, Maximized, 
FullScreen, Sticky state of a top-level window.

2) The new DesktopWatcher class allows to watch the following things:
- Active window change.
- Current virtual desktop change.
- Virtual desktop name change.
- Number of virtual desktops change.
- Desktop width/height change.
- Window more/resize change.
- Window name (title) change.
- Window icon change.
- Window state change.

Not everything is finished and engraved in the marble, but all these features 
are enough to implement a taskbar, a pager, and to manage virtual desktops.

The only thing that is missing is something to make a system tray. 

With that last thing, you will be able to make a full desktop environment 
entirely in Gambas, except the window manager. Such a beast is something 
complex, so at the moment using an already existing and reliable one is a 
better solution.

Enjoy it!
