is that what you looking for ?,
    -    in the IDE, open your  *.form
    -    have a right mouse-click on the element (in your case the 
combo-box)
    -    a Context-menu pops up
    -    go with the mouse-pointer to Event
    -    a second Context-menu pops up and shows you the events
    -    a click on one of them opens the  / or change to  editor-window
and goes/ creates the event sub.

These tips are stored in the file data/tips in the directory of gambas IDE

If you have tips of your own, send them me, and I will add them to this file.

Message-ID: <200209071922.21758.gambas@...1...>

Hi Gambas users,

Sometimes the Gambas interpreter prints the following error message :

"Mutex destroy failure: device or resource busy"

As you can read in the following link, it is a bug in the Qt library that 
forgets to free an internal mutex. This bug is not serious, and there is a 
workaround I will use in the next version of Gambas.

http://lists.trolltech.com/qt-interest/2002-05/msg00381.html

I thank Juergen (NN <heinpol at ...5...>) for his search in the Qt list and for 
having solved the problem.

Hi,
Though the "Gambas Language Encyclopedia" is a useful resource, it would 
be nice to have some further documentation. In fact I'm having trouble with 
some of the basics, like scope of variables, for example. I Simply could not 
figure out how  one can declare a variable that is global for the whole 
application. I declared it in a Modules block, but apparently did not work. 
Modules pose another problem: what functions can be put in a module and how 
can they access variables?

And things like that. I know it is a lot of work, and Gambas is not yet 
complete.

Cheers,
Laszlo Parkanyi

Hi Laszlo,

Variable scope in Gambas is in fact like the Java one, or any good 
object-oriented language. Not Visual-Basic !

So, there is no project global variables in Gambas like in VB. A global 
variable is global to a class or a module. And if you want to access a 
variable outside of its class or module, you must decalre it public.

To do the same thing as VB, declare your global variable in a module, and 
access it via the name of the module. For example,

Module MGlobal.module:
' Gambas module
PUBLIC BirthYear AS Integer
...

Module MMain.module (startup module):
' Gambas module
...
PUBLIC SUB Main()

  PRINT "BirthYear is"; MGlobal.BirthYear

END

Got it ? :-)

Salut Benoit,

you wrote samwhere you started with a Amstrat 464 Basic, right!
Do you remember, im the manual  for Basic Instructions, after every 
Instruction/Function there where a very usefull Line.
See also:

for examble:
*Asc*

returns .....
.........

See also: chr$

I found this in every time very usefull. (It got lost in the middle of 
the 90, in all manualls)

Hi Benoit,

I  gotcha. I see the same applies to subs/functions. Sticking to the example 
you gave I tried to call a sub placed in  MGlobal to add a value to 
BirthYear:

PUBLIC  BirthYear AS Integer

PUBLIC SUB Birth()
  
  BirthYear = 1940
  
END

Calling this sub from MMain Main:
   MGlobal.Birth    
  PRINT "BirthYear is"; MGlobal.BirthYear

This works just fine.

I may be stupid as I failed to make a Form on which to present the retrieved 
BirthYear (I miss some of the basics). Putting in PUBLIC SUB MAIN():

 DIM hForm as Form
 hForm = NEW fForm <--- gambas stops here saying unable to load class file

Now there is another question: if a Form is present that should be the 
startup class?

Laszlo

Your next problem is not very clear :-)

If Gambas says "unable to load class file" in that case, it means that there 
is no form named "fForm" in your project. Have you defined it ?

If Gambas says "unable to load class file" in that case, it means that th=
ere=20
is no form named "fForm" in your project. Have you defined it ?


--=20
Beno=EEt Minisini


And Replace your Class name fForm by FForm because it can make error.

Gambas reconnize the class file when its first letter is an upcase letter.

Hi
I've just started to play a little bit with gambas 0.38
The installing seemed to be ok 
But I'm not able to compile one of the examples, which are coming with gambas 
- Compile, Run or Debug .... none of them works. 
The Debug-Window opens and the status line says "Compiling project 
Notepad...." but nothing happens. I have to kill gambas because it's 
completely frozen.

My configuration :
SuSe Linux 8.0
kernel 2.4.18
KDE 3.0.0
QT 3.0.3

Is there a something special install ?
Can anybody help ?

Thanks 
Klaus

Very strange, I have no problem here to compile Notepad and run it, with the 
0.38. Does-it work when you do "compile all" instead of a single "compile" ?

These tips are stored in the file data/tips in the directory of gambas IDE 
sources. The format of a tip is reduced HTML text between <tip> </tip> marks, 
ala XML.

If you have tips of your own, send them me, and I will add them to this file.

Thanks in advance !

Subject: [Gambas-user] A bug in qt 3.0.3
Message-ID: <200209071922.21758.gambas@...1...>

Hi Gambas users,

Sometimes the Gambas interpreter prints the following error message :

"Mutex destroy failure: device or resource busy"

As you can read in the following link, it is a bug in the Qt library that 
forgets to free an internal mutex. This bug is not serious, and there is a 
workaround I will use in the next version of Gambas.

http://lists.trolltech.com/qt-interest/2002-05/msg00381.html

I thank Juergen (NN <heinpol at ...5...>) for his search in the Qt list and for 
having solved the problem.

Hi,
Though the "Gambas Language Encyclopedia" is a useful resource, it would 
be nice to have some further documentation. In fact I'm having trouble with 
some of the basics, like scope of variables, for example. I Simply could not 
figure out how  one can declare a variable that is global for the whole 
application. I declared it in a Modules block, but apparently did not work. 
Modules pose another problem: what functions can be put in a module and how 
can they access variables?

And things like that. I know it is a lot of work, and Gambas is not yet 
complete.

Cheers,
Laszlo Parkanyi

Hi Laszlo,

Variable scope in Gambas is in fact like the Java one, or any good 
object-oriented language. Not Visual-Basic !

So, there is no project global variables in Gambas like in VB. A global 
variable is global to a class or a module. And if you want to access a 
variable outside of its class or module, you must decalre it public.

To do the same thing as VB, declare your global variable in a module, and 
access it via the name of the module. For example,

Module MGlobal.module:
' Gambas module
PUBLIC BirthYear AS Integer
...

Module MMain.module (startup module):
' Gambas module
...
PUBLIC SUB Main()

  PRINT "BirthYear is"; MGlobal.BirthYear

END

Got it ? :-)

Salut Benoit,

you wrote samwhere you started with a Amstrat 464 Basic, right!
Do you remember, im the manual  for Basic Instructions, after every 
Instruction/Function there where a very usefull Line.
See also:

for examble:
*Asc*

returns .....
.........

See also: chr$

I found this in every time very usefull. (It got lost in the middle of 
the 90, in all manualls)

amicalement

Hi Benoit,

I  gotcha. I see the same applies to subs/functions. Sticking to the example 
you gave I tried to call a sub placed in  MGlobal to add a value to 
BirthYear:

PUBLIC  BirthYear AS Integer

PUBLIC SUB Birth()
  
  BirthYear = 1940
  
END

Calling this sub from MMain Main:
   MGlobal.Birth    
  PRINT "BirthYear is"; MGlobal.BirthYear

This works just fine.

I may be stupid as I failed to make a Form on which to present the retrieved 
BirthYear (I miss some of the basics). Putting in PUBLIC SUB MAIN():

 DIM hForm as Form
 hForm = NEW fForm <--- gambas stops here saying unable to load class file

Now there is another question: if a Form is present that should be the 
startup class?

Laszlo

Your next problem is not very clear :-)

If Gambas says "unable to load class file" in that case, it means that there 
is no form named "fForm" in your project. Have you defined it ?

If Gambas says "unable to load class file" in that case, it means that th=
ere=20
is no form named "fForm" in your project. Have you defined it ?


--=20
Beno=EEt Minisini


And Replace your Class name fForm by FForm because it can make error.

Gambas reconnize the class file when its first letter is an upcase letter.

Hi
I've just started to play a little bit with gambas 0.38
The installing seemed to be ok 
But I'm not able to compile one of the examples, which are coming with gambas 
- Compile, Run or Debug .... none of them works. 
The Debug-Window opens and the status line says "Compiling project 
Notepad...." but nothing happens. I have to kill gambas because it's 
completely frozen.

My configuration :
SuSe Linux 8.0
kernel 2.4.18
KDE 3.0.0
QT 3.0.3

Is there a something special install ?
Can anybody help ?

Thanks 
Klaus

.. but the situation with 0.37a is exactly the same !

Meanwhile I found out, that it's possible to get the programs running with:
- loading the project
- opening the debug window
- choosing first 'step into' and than 'run'

Any idea ?

Very strange, I have no problem here to compile Notepad and run it, with the 
0.38. Does-it work when you do "compile all" instead of a single "compile" ?

Hi,
A rather bad thing happened: a previously saved (rather complex) project 
cannot load one of its class files. It is there, editable, name not mistyped. 
Under the .gambas subdirectory its name does not appear. Any idea what may 
have happened to this file?

Any idea of recovery is welcome.
