Hi All,

I'm sure it's fairly trivial, but here goes.

I need to copy the contents of a folder which may include subfolders 
(and maybe even sub-subfolders).
The notes for COPY say it can't be used recursively, so what's the best 
way to do this?
I've checked the manual and the wiki and so far I can find no examples 
or suggestions.

I had a similar problem with the MKDIR function that gambas has where I 
couldnt create subdirectories recursively.
I solved this by just using the SHELL command though you could use EXEC as 
well.

This way you can add your own options to the copy command.

Hope this helps,

use this command :

sDest as STring
sFrom as STring


EXEC("cp", "-R", sfrom, sdest)

Benoit,

Questions:
(1) Does the following...

PRIVATE my_array [4096, 16] as STRING

...occupy a static section of RAM or
is it dymanic depending on the size of string actually stored
in each element ??  (Remalloc'd every time there is an assignment?)

(2) Are byte,integer arrays MALLOC'd in a static section of RAM once??

Thanks
-Fernando

The array itself is statically allocated in your class, but a string is just a 
pointer to a malloc() allocation.

By doing this, an object of your class will take at least 4096 * 16 * 4 = 256 
Kb !

What do you mean by being "malloc'd" in a static section of ram once ???

There are two types of arrays in Gambas:

- "static arrays", declared with DIM array[x, y] AS Type
- "dynamic arrays", declared with DIM array AS NEW Type[x, y]

The dynamic arrays are true Gambas objects, like in Java, but not static ones. 
Static arrays are allocated directly in the object they are declared (or in a 
temporary allocation if you declared them as local variables in a method).

Thank you.

About item (2) below - what I meant was:

would...
  my_array [1234,12] = "HELLO"
  my_array [1234,12] = "Good Bye"

perform a re-malloc to lengthen the string space requirements
because line 2 is longer than line 1 ?

No, it is something you set from the IDE, by using the form editor menu.

To change ZOrder by code, you have the Raise() and Lower() method of the 
Control class.

Benoit,

My transition from VB to GAMBAS is progressing.
I want to use .ADD and .CLEAR for an array
but the syntax and usage eludes me.

If I do the following...

  PRIVATE  my_array [4096] as SHORT

I am having a difficulty using .CLEAR 

  my_array.clear  reports it is not an object

I know I am missing something in my understanding here.
Can you aid in clearing my brain fog?


Thank you
-Fernando

No. The string contents is allocated in its own place. The array contents are 
just pointers to these strings.

I can just repeat what I said in my previous mail:
- DIM array[xx] AS Type are static arrays, not objects.
- DIM array AS NEW Type[xx] are dynamic arrays, i.e. true Gambas objects.

Hi,

I just uploaded a new bug fix release of Gambas. Here is the ChangeLog:

---8<------------------------------------------------------------------------

* The source package now uses Automake 1.9.

INTERPRETER

* BUG: OPEN ... DIRECT now correctly works.
* BUG: Opening a file with CREATE flag now always implies READ flag.
* BUG: SEEK and READ now always work on files opened in DIRECT mode.

QT COMPONENT

* BUG: I finally got rid of the spurious warning generated by the TableView
  control.

DATABASE COMPONENT

* BUG: Result methods now always return an error when the result is not
  available.
* BUG: Now tables whose primary key fields are not necessarily the first ones
  work.
* BUG: The PostgreSQL driver has been fixed. Now it works for any version
  greater or equal than 7.3.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enjoy it!

Subject: [Gambas-user] TableView gray column width?
Message-ID: <42786C81.8080502@...221...>

Hi folks,

Just ran into this problem: How can I adjust the width of the very first 
(gray) column in a TableView?

It adjusts itself when strings are inserted which are bigger than 
before, i. e. it widens itself. But it does not narrow afterwards, even 
when you reduce the number of Rows and Columns to 0 and start all over.

The problem is that

TableView.Columns[0].Text

refers to the first string in the gray column, but

TableView.Columns[0].Width

refers to the width of the first normal (white) column!

In my project, I use the same TableView for 2 different sorts of tables, 
one which just has the automatic numbers in the gray column and 2 white 
columns with data, and another one which uses the gray column to display 
names and has a number of further white cells behind it. When you switch 
back to the small table, the numbers appear in a very wide gray column, 
but it cannot be narrowed anymore.

What can I do?

Subject: [Gambas-user] Gambas code is much shorter
Message-ID: <427877A9.4020500@...221...>

This is just a question about which I'd like to hear some comment from 
the professional programmers here.

Currently I'm migrating a project from VB to Gambas. Instead of 
retyping/copying the code, I found it easier to just use the overall 
ideas of the original VB code and re-invent them in Gambas. It's a 
translating job rather than a retyping one.

Anyway, after a while I found that Gambas code appears to be much 
smaller and compact than that of VB, though I couldn't make it out to 
some specific item. On average, I use about 20 - 30 % less code lines 
than in VB to achieve the same functionality within a comparable Sub or 
Function.

When I started, I expected it to be the opposite, as there are a few 
things which seemed to be rather roundabout to me. For example, you have 
to DIM every variable in a separate line, and I missed the practical 
dynamic more-dimensional string variables and structs. Meanwhile, 
however, I've got used to the Gambas ways of doing it.

So, this is what I would like to know: Why is my Gambas code so much 
less complex? Does anyone here have an explanation for it?

 From my point of view (and after having experimented with it for a 
while) I found that some hints in the help seem to be misleading.

:-)

Don't know if my sun shines bright enough to heat away that fog, but 
what I would do is

DIM my_array as NEW SHORT[]

To add something to the array at its end, you will use

my_array.Add(xx)

and to clear the stuff completely, you may use

my_array.Clear

The drawback is that for having a 4096 cells big array you will have to 
add 4096 values first. (On the other hand, when you use a fixed-size 
array like you did above, you will have to write 4096 zeros to get rid 
of its values...)

But be aware that poking something into a certain position of it just 
will need a

my_array[x] = y

In my programs, much of the stuff in the help about STATIC, PRIVATE and 
so on works different from how it's explained, but this may be due to 
the fact that I use modules rather than classes (I found that they react 
differently here).

Is this wanted or just "something we cannot make better":

In practice, there are many cases where something counts from 0 but is 
interpreted like 1, i. e. you will have to write a "- 1" here and there.

If you leave out the space, it is interpreted as a "-1" value, thus 
leading to error messages. From its context, one might expect the 
interpreter to interprete it as "x - 1", but even the editor doesn't as 
the colors will tell you when you leave the line.

You know what I mean?

For j = 0 to my_array.Count-1

won't do as it's interpreted as a "-1", and a "-1" doesn't belong there.

Or

t$ = Mid$(x$, i-1, 1)

won't do either.

In both cases (and from my vague understanding of the mechanisms) the 
parser will detect a "-1" because it's token-orientated and does not see 
the context.

I think I finally fixed that. Now I can write "i= i-1" and get "i = i - 1", or 
write "i=i+-1" and get "i = i + -1".

I hope you will be happy :-)

Yes. At least the way I wrote the Timer class in Qt.

Message-ID: <200505041802.49404.gambas@...1...>

Hi,

I have just uploaded a new snapshot of the development version.

The main changes are:

- The interpreter can call functions in extern shared libraries now. You get 
new subroutines for dealing with memory and pointers. The READ and WRITE 
instructions can read from and write to memory. 
- The SHELL and EXEC instructions can run their process in a virtual terminal. 
- Deleted records are hidden from the database Result objects now. I hope this 
way Daniel will be happy :-)
- Of course, the bug fixes of the 1.0.6 version have been merged.

The current support for extern shared libraries is not as complete as what 
Daniel did in its gb.api component. The following is missing:

- Support for alias (i.e. library function name different from the Gambas 
function name)
- Support for callbacks.
- Support for C-like structures. You can emulate them with the new memory 
allocation subroutines (Alloc, Free and Realloc) and the READ/WRITE 
instructions applied to the pointer returned by Alloc().

And I'm not sure that this support shouldn't go to a component like Daniel 
did. The interpreter is growing... :-(

Here is the complete ChangeLog:

----8<------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Symbolic link to gambas IDE does not have the '.gambas' extension anymore.
* 'gbi' was rewritten so that it can take a component name as argument, and
  create the information files only for this component.

COMPILER

* Support for declaring functions in extern shared libraries. The syntax is:
  EXTERN <function name>(args...) IN <library name>
* New datatype named 'Pointer' that is a synonymous for 'Integer'.

INTERPRETER

* BUG: OPEN ... DIRECT now correctly works.
* BUG: Opening a file with CREATE flag now always implies READ flag.
* BUG: SEEK and READ now always work on files opened in DIRECT mode.
* Support for calling functions in extern shared libraries.
* If the startup class declares a public method named 'Application_Read', then
  the standard input is watched by the event loop.
* New subroutines, Alloc(), Free() and Realloc() for allocating and freeing
  memory fragments.
* A new subroutine, StrPtr(), that returns the null-terminated string located
  at the specified address.
* You can use READ and WRITE to read from or write to memory, by using an
  integer as stream. The interpreter should raise an error and not crash if
  you supply an invalid memory address.
* Now, if you use FOR INPUT/OUTPUT instead of FOR READ/WRITE with the EXEC or
  SHELL instruction, the executed process is plugged to a pseudo-terminal.
  This way, you can easily pilot a program that needs to be run in a terminal.
* BUG: '_call' special method management has been fixed.

DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

* Support for the Pointer datatype.

QT COMPONENT

* BUG: I finally got rid of the spurious warning generated by the TableView
  control.

DATABASE COMPONENT

* BUG: Result methods now always return an error when the result is not
  available.
* BUG: Now tables whose primary key fields are not necessarily the first ones
  work.
* BUG: The PostgreSQL driver has been fixed. Now it works for any version
  greater or equal than 7.3.
* Now deleted records are removed from the Result object.

----8<------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note that I'm going to Palerma tomorrow for a talk about Gambas 
(http://linux-meeting.org), and I won't come back to my computer until next 
Tuesday.

Enjoy this new break-everything version! :-)

I'm new to Linux BASIC but not VB. Please help me.

I OPEN/READ a 1.4mb data file and randomly choose one line out of 26460 
lines of text to print to a textlabel. Some text does not display. In 
particular, if a line has the less than '<' character then it and all 
the following text does not display.

My playing around suggests that it and others maybe special characters. 
(1) Can anyone help me find the other special characters?
(2) How can I display the text? I tried '<<' but it did not work. The 
prospect of editing a 1.4mb text file for all the other special 
characters and work arounds is a show stopper.

Any help is appreciated.

The TextLabel control is an HTML control.  So, "<" means "start an 
HTML tag".  You can do this:

mystring = replace(mystring, "&", "&amp;")
mystring = replace(mystring, "<", "&lt;")

and you shouldn't have any more problems. (The first line is to ensure 
that ampersands don't get lost either.)

Message-ID: <20050504193336.87373.qmail@...967...>

I want to create a control that displays 2 columns of
information, numbers and text, and with scrollbar. The
text must be displayed always in is own column.
Something like:

   1   This is a line
  10   This is a very long
       line. Hello, is fun
       to be a long line.
 200   This is a new line
   2   The last line for the
       moment                     
  45   ...

The problem is that with a textLabel i make a table
with html and is fine, but no scrollbar appears, and
with textArea appears scrollbar, but the html code not
create the table.

Any idea?

(sorry for my english)

Benoit,

When I am running a program in the IDE,
it always crashes when I do the following.

- The program stops at a breakpoint because
  I want to watch a variable which is not being watched

- I type the variable name and press the Watch button

- FREEZE UP - I must Force Quit the IDE

- The Variable I want to watch is a global string
  is 29 bytes long and does have characters in it
  that are not easily printable including binary zero.

Message-ID: <7E7552A1956AE5428B2BD7BA0B92657ACDD721@...969...>

Hello,

After downloading and compiling gambas2-1.9.7, everything seemed to go
well.  After the usual "./configure", "make", "make install" commands
things looked good.  However, when executing the "gambas2" command to
start the IDE, I received an error (unfortunately I did not write it
down completely - it had somehting to do with FOption... and recursive
definition).

Anyway, after investigating the make output, I noticed that there was an
error compiling gambas2 in line 845 of FFind.class.  I opened the file
from ../gambas2-1.9.7/app/src/gambas2/ in Kate and located the line
#845:

  sFile=Left(hForm.Title,Instr(hform.Title," ")-1)

The only thing I could think of was that the "-1" was being interpreted
incorrectly so I add spaces as follows:

  sFile = Left(hForm.Title, Instr(hform.Title," ") - 1)

After this I saved the file, ran "make uninstall", and then "make
install" again.  Believe it or not, this worked!  I can now run gambas2
:)!

I'm no expert, but if someone else runs into this problem it is worth a
try.

Take care,
Allen Murphy

Salut,

the -1 or +1 (or other numbers) is  gambas interpreter problem.
I had it when I made the PrettyPrinter.

There are not many cases where a -1 works , but - 1 works allways.

What is the Gambas version that you are using? There's not segfault with 
gambas 1.9.7,
may be something was fixed...

Message-ID: <427CB06C.6010107@...973...>

Hi all,

a few days ago I came across Gambas and the more I discover about it the more I
like it!
Congratulations to all the developers for their very neat, promising work!!!

Having started coding some test applications, I have a problem though that I
haven't been able to solve by trial and error and also by looking at the
documentation and in the ML.
It could just be a matter of poor experience and practice with Gambas but I
have yet to find a solution.

The problem is that I need to have a global bidimensional array of floats,
available through all modules and classes.

According to the help file,

"There is no such thing as a project-wide global variable in Gambas. As a
workaround, consider making a class called Global and declaring your global
variables as static public variables in that class, and then referring to them
as Global.variablename in your project. It's still poor programming practice
but at least they'll be identified as global variables whenever you use them".

That's exactly what I've tried to do, but if I create a Global class and
declare in it a "static public P[5,5] as float", when trying to compile the
code, I get a "Arrays are forbidden here at line xx in Global class" error.

So, if arrays are forbidden here, how can I overcome this problem?

TIA for your help,
Piero

Same problem I encountered when I started using Gambas.
Here's what I did.

You cannot have what you want exactly.

You can do this...
At the top of a class or a module type...

PRIVATE my_array [5000,3000] AS FLOAT

This array is PRIVATE for the whole class or module.

-you can do PUBLIC non-arrays for a whole project but
 arrays can't be public for the whole project,
 only just a class or module.

Then make something like...
  PUBLIC SUB write_my_array (value as FLOAT,x AS INTEGER, y AS INTEGER )
    '--the pass in the value to write and match the my_array subscripts
  
    my_array [x,y] = value

  END

-you can use the above anywhere in your project like
  write_my_array (23.5, 4, 66)
  'which writes the value 23.5 into the array at [4,66]



Then make something like...
  PUBLIC SUB read_array (x AS INTEGER, y AS INTEGER)
    
    RETURN my_array [x,y]
  END

-you can use the above anywhere in your project like
   label1.text = read_array (4, 66)
   'which reads the value from [4, 66] and puts it in a label.

Hi Fernando,

first of all thanks for your reply.

Does anybody know if this feature (that is global arrays) is foreseen to be 
implemented some time?

This is very similar to what I thought.
However I was a little skeptical about this approach because, since in my case 
the data contained in the array should be accessed quite many times, I am 
afraid that calling a function every time for reading/writing could have a hard 
impact on performance.

Anyway, if there isn't any other solution I'll give it a try.

Thanks a lot!

Hi All,

Being reasonably new with Gambas, i find myself struggling with the listview 
control in multiselect mode

Can someone please (pretty please with a cherry on top) show me the gambas way 
of how to:

loop through every item in the list, and delete it from the list if the 
listview.item.selected property is set ? 
I've constructed this for-next monstrosity which does kinda-sorta what i want, 
but it's ugly and error-prone and just doesn't feel right. How do you do it 
the gambas way ?

and:

How do i move the view to another item in the list ?

When i load the list, it comes up with the first item in the list.
According to the docs, there is a method 'MoveTo(key)' that should change the 
view to the item in question. However, i must be missing something here as 
well. Suppose i load a list with 200 items. When the list comes up, it shows 
item1, item2,etc --which is of course fine and dandy-- however,I want the 
list to show item150.
When i do a listview.moveto(key of item150) the view doesn't change to display 
item150, but keeps on displaying item1. 
So what is it that i am missing/not doing here ??

Kind Regards,

Alain

Hi Piero,

Well, the question of global or not is very easy to solve: You can have 
global variables and arrays by declaring them PUBLIC and then calling 
them with the name of the module/class they are in 
(any_class.my_global_string) from any other class/module.

This works with standard 1-dimensional arrays too. I need a lot of 
string arrays. My way of using this in my current project is to store 
the strings of dimension 2 as part-strings in the array of dimension 1, 
separated with chr$(9) or so. To extract the single part-strings, I use 
Split(). This works rather fast, so no problem for me.

With float arrays you might use another trick: create dimension 1 as an 
object array - myArray as Object[] - and place as many float arrays in 
it as are needed for that dimension. The float arrays then represent 
dimension 2. Access is possible via two square brackets. Here is a small 
example within one class:

PRIVATE abc AS NEW Object[]

PUBLIC SUB _New()
DIM xyz AS Float[]
DIM i AS INTEGER

	FOR i = 0 to 9
		xyz = NEW Float[]
		xyz.Resize(10)
		abc.Add(xyz)
	NEXT

Now you access the 2 dimensions for example by

	abc[i][j] = something

Hope it helps!

I am thinking of building a so-called "Domain Authentication Utility" for
Ubuntu.
In-short, this utility will setup a domain server and on clients, it'll add
the clients to this domain (using openldap + samba + kerberos ..and mail
etc.).

To be able to release gambas-based applications on Ubuntu, I seriously need
the gtk component, as Gnome is default on Ubuntu.

Is there a timeline for the release of Gambas 1.9.6 features in a stable
release?
(From my point of view, the 1.9.6 is very stable).

I think it'd be a breakthrough, and will maybe lead to gambas runtime becoming
a standard package in Ubuntu (www.ubuntulinux.com).

Cheers
/Thomas

By now, there are packages for Debian (and Ubuntu) from the 1.0.x 
series, but
there are packages of the 1.9.x series for Linex (a Debian based system, 
too). May
be the packager of both branches (Jos? L. Redrejo) will be able to tell 
you more, but
I think soon the 1.9.x will be the only official packages for Debian 
systems...

D. Campos

LOL! I didn't think about them :-)

The problem is that PEEK and POKE can only deal with bytes. The READ and WRITE 
commands can deal with any datatypes...

This is not an issue with gambas, it is related to the access rights of 
the normal user.

Usually, the owner of /dev/lp0 is "root" and its group is "lp", so make 
sure that your normal user is a member of the "lp" group.

Did you try to hide the header and to show it again ? Maybe it could help. 

The QT QTable widget is somewhat specific, so I can't use its features too

You have to use the TextView control inside a ScrollView, and gives it a good 
height.

To know which height the TextView should have, put the text in it, and use the 
TextHeight property. Be careful, this property sometimes does only work if 
the text is already shown to the screen.

In gambas, there two types of arrays:

- Static array, that are allocated inside the object when they are private to 
them. They can't be public.

- Dynamic arrays, that are true Gambas objects, and that work like arrays in 
Java. They can be public.

In the development version, dynamic arrays can be multi-dimensional. So you 
can write now:

STATIC PUBLIC p AS Float[]

and in the contructor:

p = NEW Float[5, 5]

At the moment, you can't write directly STATIC PUBLIC p AS NEW Float[5, 5]

1.9.x is a *development* version, and there is no timeline for making it 
stable. There are many problems in it, and I will continue breaking things 
inside until I'm statisfied :-)

If you want to use it as it is a stable version, you should do it at your own 
risk. I won't hear you crying :-)

Elsewhere, I'm sure that installing the Qt library on the The Ubuntu is very 
easy. I installed the Debian gambas packages on a Ubuntu Live-CD in a few 
mouse clicks, and the only problem I had is that QT fonts were too large.

I totally understand... and I am very happy that I have Gambas in this world
:)

It ain't hard, but if you're running Gnome and using any theme in the world,
you will still get the "shitty-looking" default kde window for all your
gambas-qt forms.. I can't tell people to change their kde theme.. when they
run Gnome (even though they've got qt/kdelibs there)

As far as I know, gambas is already a standar package in Ubuntu
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/source/gambas, but their packages are
quite obsolete. The stable version of gambas is more updated in Debian
(http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/gambas).
In Linex I have already the 1.9.3 packages that include a gambas-gb-gtk
component quite usable in Debian. (http://www.itais.net/index.php?blog=3
uses them succesfully in some thousands of pc in my region high
schools). Those packages work in Debian sarge, so probably  they will
work in Ubuntu as well. Add 
deb http://www.linex.org/sources/linex/debian/ sarge linex
to your /etc/apt/sources.list.

Finally, last week Mark Suttelworth
(http://www.itais.net/index.php?title=i_am_not_going_to_ask_you_to_use_ubuntu&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1) asked me those packages to include them in Ubuntu, so you will have the unstable gambas version there soon. Before that I will prepare debian packages with the last unstable version.

Regards.

Hi,

I've just uploaded a new release of the development version, just for fixing 
the bug in the gambas compiler in the previous package.

Note that now source packages are stored on the SourceForge FTP servers. YOu 
can't access them anymore directly on the web site.

The syntax of EXTERN has been enhanced too:

* A new keyword, LIBRARY, allows you to declare the name of the library for 
the next EXTERN declarations. In this case, IN becomes optional.

* You can declare the real name of the extern function (if it is different 
from the name used with Gambas) by using the EXEC keyword at the end of the 
declaration.

I join an example, that I take from Daniel Campos 'gb.api' web site and that I 
modified.

Enjoy it!

Regards,

Hi Benoit,

your explanations together with Rolf's suggestions and hints in another message 
have been really of great help to me.
Arrays in Gambas have no more secrets now... :-)

Thanks a lot guys!!!

Great thing, I'm really looking forward to it. Will it be possible to write

p = NEW Float[x, y]

too?

There is a standard dialog which should do the job. Let me have a look...

Yep, "Dialog.FileOpen" is it. Look it up under gb.qt "Dialog" in the 
help. Paths are set and returned via Dialog.Path. Funny: If the user 
clicks Cancel, the function will return True :-)

Aaah - I tried it, it is just able to return one single file. That's why 
you asked, mate, isn't it?

Sorry, guess you'll have to code it by hand, no faster way I would know 
about. By the way, wouldn't that be a handy thing to include as an 
example/tool for the Gambas package? I guess more people will be happy 
to use such a tweaked dialog.

Good question! I'd like to know :-)

I think it is in the freedesktop.org standards... I already used them to let a 
window stay on top. I think it should be possible to define/change the window 
workspace too.

Thanks for the fast answer!

I think Dialog class should allow multiselect, if any developer would like to 
implement this it would be great.
By the way... also the kde open dialog would be very useful (that form with 
the "Home" "Temp" bookmark in the left) maybe as an object of gb.qt.kde....

Hi everybody out there

I try to query a postgersql database where the string contains an ampersand 
char which results in an error.

So I try to substitute the "&" with a "%" char and use the "like"-operator, 
but I didn't see any modification after the substitute command:

     tmp = Replace$(string1, "&", "%")

even with charset conversion

   tmp = Replace$(string1, Conv$("&", System.Charset, "UTF-8"), "%")

I also tried the "qoute"-Operator, which doesn't help either.

What are my mistakes?
In use is Gambas 1.9.3 - because I'm waiting for new Debian packages at linex 
(does anybody knows, when they are available?).

Many thanks for help
Rolf

The query string in all Gambas database methods (Find, Edit, Exec) work like 
the Subst$() function. Look at the documentation! ;-)

The Move*() method moves the *internal* cursor of the ListView. This cursor is 
intended to let you loop throug every ListView item. The ListView.Item 
returns the current item pointed by the internal cursor.

To change the visible selected item, use the Selected property of the item. 
ListView.Current returns the current selected item.

Are things clearer now ?

I never encountered this problem. 'lib.gb.so' is made by the 'Makefile.am' 
file in the ./main/gbx directory, then it is used by 'gbi2' to extract 
information about the interpreter native classes, and then it is destroyed.

Very strange...

Strange... It seems that you answer a previous a thread. Please start a new 
thread when you ask a new question. If you did, then tell me which mailer you 
use. Maybe there is a problem with it, or with mine (KMail).

Let's back to GOTO now...

The rule is that the compiler will raise an error if a GOTO is forbidden.

Try it... In your case, I think you can do that, even if it is a very bad 
practise.

Well, a quick hack that works for me is in the attached patches to CDialog.cpp
files in gb.qt and gb.qt.kde that allow to select multiple files.

The new method Dialog.OpenFiles behaves like its brother Dialog.OpenFile (that
is it returns true if no files have been selected and vice versa) but, after
calling OpenFiles, Dialog.Path contains a string containing all the files
chosen, separated by spaces.

You can then easily split the string to get an array of the files you selected.

Ciao,
Piero

Thanks for the patch. I will use it, but in a different way. I will add in the 
next development version an optional parameter to Dialog.OpenFile(), to tell 
that we want to select multiple files, and a new property, Dialog.Paths, that 
will return an array of the selected files.

In a dialog window, it should be possible to change its size by

dlgDialog.Height = something...

In my dialog here, it doesn't. The beast doesn't care at all :-)

What am I doing wrong?

The reason for this is that there is a changing number of input 
TextBoxes, and the window is to change accordingly in size to look nice. 
I tried the command in Form_Open and in Form_Activate, it doesn't have 
any effect.

You must set Window.Border to Window.Resizable, change the size of your 
dialog, and set Window.Border to Window.Fixed back.

One of many funny Gambas things :-)

checkinstall, on the other hand, gives this:

Narrowing it down further, as you can see, with make install:

/opt/gambas/share/gambas/info/gb.vb.info
/opt/gambas/share/gambas/info/gb.info

while checkinstall does this:

/opt/gambas/share/gambas/info/gb.vb.info
/opt/gambas/lib/gambas/lib.gb.so: not found

Any ideas why it's different with checkinstall? 
Why /opt/gambas/lib/gambas/lib.gb.so 
after /opt/gambas/share/gambas/info/gb.vb.info instead 
of /opt/gambas/share/gambas/info/vb.info, as with make install?

I have no idea.... checkinstall is just something rpmbuild does, and I 
don't know where it gets its ideas on what to look for.  Maybe it 
looks for all the files in %files plus anything ending in .so.

Quite right! You could use PEEKB / POKEB and PEEKW / POKEW, I've seem them 
used before, but don't remember which BASIC that was. READ and WRITE are 
automatically associated in one's mind with files.

Benoit,

I have a module 'mod1' with

  PUBLIC CONST my_const AS INTEGER = 300


When I code in a class, for example...


  x = y * mod1.my_const

When I type the 'period' after mod1,
the list of objects displays in a small list,
the constant does not show in the list.

You've to compile the examples and run it in a real console (or X 
terminal). The Gambas
console emulation for the IDE can not handle NCurses commands.

Hi everybody,

I need to iterate over a set of different controls (like textboxes, buttons,
labels etc) inside a container, and I need to know their name (and possibly
class) to properly operate on each of them.

I have to do something like

   DIM hControl AS Control
   FOR EACH hControl IN Frame1.Children
     IF hControl.Class [or .Name] = something THEN
       ...
     END IF
   NEXT

but, according to what I have been able so far to learn about Gambas, neither
.Class nor .Name are available.

Is that right or is there any other method to accomplish this task?

TIA,
Piero

I have not tried this, but I believe you can attach a tag to 
each control that will let you do what you want.

Yes, I know it works because I have already used it as a workaround, but I 
hoped to get those pieces of information directly from the object structure, 
because I thought it could be easier and simpler to maintain.

Thank you,

Benoit,

One of my programs has uses a data file
where the first two bytes in the file 
were written as a SHORT (2 bytes) with
the value 999 (base 10)

When my program starts,
part of the initialization is to read this SHORT.

I have a problem because the SHORT value
read in is -6397  which happens to be exactly
the BIG ENDIAN representation of 999

The 999 was initially written LITTLE ENDIAN as a SHORT
and when I use KHexEdit, viewing the beginning of
the data file, I see 999 (decimal) LITTLE ENDIAN
and when I click to see BIG ENDIAN, it is -6397.
I specicially open the file as READ LITTLE.

This is a repeatable problem I encounter.
I have verified this a few times before writing this.

Perhaps I doing something wrong.

Thanks
-Fernando

Benoit,

my snip of code is...

PUBLIC short_variable AS SHORT

...
OPEN "my_file" FOR READ WRITE LITTLE AS #hfile

SEEK #hfile, 0
READ #hfile, ME.short_variable      
...

Attempting to solve this, I removed the ME.
and it works correct every time so far.

..somethings funny...

Benoit,

I have a question with TEXTAREA

  TextArea1.Text = "349"
  PRINT IsNumber(TextArea1.Text)

produces FALSE

I was presuming from Wiki that
IsNumber tested an expression.

Of course 349 is a string
but it also vals to a valid number.

It would seem that IsNumber only looks at the type of var
without doing the internally VAL - perhaps as designed.
Performing the VAL would help determine if a string VAL'd
to a valid number.

Yes, I could code it, but is seemed IsNumber ought to do that.
How would IsNumber be used without VAL at the same time?

Sincerely
-Fernando

Can you try to open the file in buffered mode ? I think the problem comes from 
the bug I talked about in your previous private mail.

IsNumber() just tests the type of the value (from boolean to float). It does 
not behave like IsNumber() in VB.

To know if a string is a number, you must use Val()/CInt()/CFloat() and test 
if you get an error.

Subject: [Gambas-user] test a DVD device
Message-ID: <42848A20.4060808@...247...>

Hi all,

I have a couple of queries.

I'm writing a simple backup program in Gambas for a friend who wants to 
be able to run automated backups between 1GB and 4GB in size.
We decided that a DVD recorder would be the simplest route for this.

The program currently uses a set of GUI based configuration tools to set 
basic configuration, create profiles, manage media, etc. and a non-gui 
part which to be run from CRON to carry out the actual process.

My problem is trying to test the drive to see if it's ready for use, ie 
a DVD is present, it is blank but formatted or it has already been used.

How can I test a DVD writer to see:
    a) If there is a disk present in the drive
    b) If present, whether it is formatted and ready for use
    c) If present and formatted, whether it already contains data

If possible, I'd also like to be able to read the disk label so that the 
program can identify if it should be overwritten or the process should 
abort with an error.

I've tried to start by using TRY file = DIR(/dev/dvdram, "*.*")  where 
file is defined by DIM file as STRING[] at the start of the sub.
I want to read ERROR after this test to decide whether to write to the 
DVD as a new disk (-Z option) or in overwrite mode (-M option) but I 
always get an error, blank or not.

I'm using EXEC["growisofs", "-Z" (or "-M"), device, "-R", "-J" 
Path_to_Files]  to burn the files to the DVD. device is currently 
/dev/dvdram. This part works fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Neil Lewis.

An alternate method I used was
external USB drives each with 200B IDE's in them.

Although I used a shell script and not Gambas, that
is on the list of changes to do.

I have 8 drives where each drive is to be used every
four days.  The script knows which drive ought to
be plugged in because each drive has one identifier file
that is queried.

This method is far easier than DVD especially
because increasing file sizes overtime would 
make automated DVD limiting.  IDE drives are
large and cheap.

I am using the Serial Port Control.

Sometimes, not often, I get a WRITE ERROR, which I find odd.

The port is open.

Any ideas why this would happen?

I use a slightly modified version from the serial port example:

...

PUBLIC sub Write_Serial (a AS String)

IF Sport.status = Net.Inactive THEN
   Message ("open port first")
ELSE
   chkrts.Value = TRUE
   WAIT 0.01
   WRITE #Sport,a,Len(a)
   WAIT 0.5
   chkrts.Value = FALSE
ENDIF   

...


The serial devices I use need RTS UP to accept the data
and then take that data and transmit it when RTS goes low.
(which is RS-232 exact use of RTS spec)

Message-ID: <200505161317.15879.mrzanderson@...626...>

Hello,

Just wondering if there are any known problems with Process_read in the 1.03 
release?
We are reading the output of an svn command which outputs a large amount of 
lines (100+). This command does not supply instant output, instead it must 
download files from a server and then print out the result.

With small quantities this works fine, however when it comes to reading large 
amounts of output it gets the output lines mixed up. Almost as if it wraps 
the output... Here is an example..

=====================

Expected Output:

Added /home/user/project/subfolder/file1
Added /home/user/project/subfolder/file2
Modified /home/user/project/subfolder/file3
Deleted /home/user/project/subfolder/file4
Deleted /home/user/project/subfolder/file5

Actual Output:

Added /home/user/project/subfolder/file1
Added /home/user/project/subfolder/file2
Modified /home/user/project/subf
older/file3
Deleted
/home/user/project/subfolder

====================

This is more or less the kind of output that we are getting... Again only with 
large lists of output.

Before we spent too much time killing ourselves over our code I thought it 
would be best to ask if anyone else has been experiencing similar problems?

Regards,
Tom

Hi:

I've placed here:

http://gambas.gnulinex.org/net

Some fixes for gb.net and gb.net.curl. Finally I found that it seems the 
GB_STREAM_DESC
structure changed in any point in the past, so there's a field "handle" 
that wasn't managed
by both components. This could be the fix for some strange and 
"aleatory" bugs when working with
Socket, UdpSocket, SerialPort, HttpClient and FtpClient.

Regards,

D. Campos

Hey,

I am trying to read the output of a command using Process_Read(), however it's 
output is a prompt for the user to type something in...

What I did was:

SHELL command WAIT FOR READ WRITE AS myProcess

PUBLIC SUB Process_Read()

????????reads the line into a variable

????????if the variable is "user prompt:" then
????????????????WRITE getUserInput()
????????end if

END

however it doesnt seem to work...

Have I done something wrong?

Hi all,

I haven't been able to find an answer in the documentation even though, 
according to the behavior I see in some lines of my code, I suspect the answer

I have a large PNG in a picture box

The PNG is 1844 x 2200

If I hold the mouse over the picturebox control with the
mouse, it always says PictureBox1 1856 x 2360 for the IDE tooltip.

Intestingly, the picture is slightly skewed and
it doesn't matter what I set the Width or Height to,
the picturebox dimensions on the IDE tooltip are incorrect
(1856 x 2360) 

I'm thinking the skewing is because of my monitor alignment -
except other smaller (resonable sized) PNG's look normal.

The picture box X and Y are negative, -500 to -1500 range.

1856 x 2360 seems to be what it thinks everything is.

Is the 1856 X 2360 the PNG size, because the graphics programs
say 1844 x 2200

So, I'm a bit confused.

And a PNG of size 340K does every time freeze the computer
quite solidly.  This is when the file is bound to the control
in the IDE.

Hello,

I want to store a mpg file from s-video-in for 10 sec with the following
command

 

Shell "cat /dev/video0 > myfile.mpg" AS myprocess

Wait (10)

myprocess.kill

 

But after then the process was still alive.

 

Then I try:

 

Shell "kill " & myprocess.id

 

With no access. The process was still alive.

 

Then I saw that the number that myprocess.id returns was 1 lower then the
number that the command "fuser /dev/video0" in the bash returns.

 

So at last I try:

 

Shell "kill " & cstr(myprocess.id +1)

 

And it works. Can you tell me why?

I'm using Gambas 1.0.6

compiler didn't tell that WAIT and FOR READ WRITE are not compatible.

Not yet, but this is planned. I think there is an entry for that in the TODO

You are right. In the dev. version, the IDE ignore files whose executable bit 
is set. And on a fat32 fs, all files are executable bit set!

I must find a workaround... But why using a fat32 fs for storing Gambas 
things ? ;-)

I am using 1.0.3, I tried to compile 1.0.6 but then it complains that it can't 
find the gb.qt.something components. And I havnt found a debian package for 
it :s

I removed the WAIT and now it just outputs errors from standard output (as if 
nothing was entered and then an error was outputed)

To make things easier to understand, I am trying to connect to an svn 
repository using svn+ssh and so in konsole it will ask for a passphrase. I am 
just trying to make an interface that will let the user to input the 
passphrase and then output it to the stdin.

Is this possible?

You need to install the development packages for that...

What command do you run exactly ? What errors did you get ?

You must check before than the program you run needs a terminal, otherwise 
things may work differently (like 'ls') or not at all (gdb I think needs a 
terminal for example).

In the development version, I added a syntax (SHELL/EXEC ... FOR INPUT OUTPUT) 
that run the called program in a virtual terminal, and I succeeded in sending 
commands to gdb.

A static variable belong to the class. Not static variable belong to an
object of a class. If you want to have a global variable to change values
between the objects of a class, you have to declare the variable as static.

I can't speak for Mr. P at ...727...@N, but personally my laptop has 10GB of 
ext3 and 20GB of fat32 (the reason being that Linux can deal with 
fat32 a lot better than Windows can deal with ext3.... never mind 
that I've booted into Windows exactly twice in the two years I've had 
the laptop.)  I create all my projects in my ext3 home directory, but 
I can easily envision a case where this wouldn't be true.

Without addressing whether or not it's possible in Gambas.... if 
you're using ssh for things other than interactive shells, you REALLY 
need to set up a key pair using ssh_keygen (id_rsa and id_rsa.pub, 
both in .ssh, the latter of which you copy into 
.ssh/authorized_keys[2] on the target host.)

When I started rsyncing over ssh regularly, it quickly became apparent 
that trying to programmatically deal with the ssh passphrase wasn't 
something the ssh authors want you to be able to do.

Sorry, I forgot to mention this in my previous reply to Tom. Yes, ssh 
does require a terminal.  My solution to this in the past was to 
write a perl wrapper that opened a virtual terminal (invisible to the 
user) and ran ssh on it, passing input and output from and to my 
Gambas program.

I imagine with the advances in the development version, you'd be able 
to do it all in Gambas, but this is something that's running in 
production so the stable version is required.

Drawing Graphic Questions...

To draw graphics of any sort,
I need to DRAW.BEGIN on any one of the following objects

 a Picture
 a Window
 a Printer (for the printer, not the screen)
 a Drawing
 a DrawingArea

When I am done, I need to DRAW.END

Then, and most importantly, I must

ME.MASK = {the object I drew on above}

and then the graphics will be on the screen.

(1) is the above process correct?

(2) If the object is a WINDOW object,
then the graphics are direct in the window and the ME.MASK is
not required because the DRAW.END signals showing on the window.

(3) What is the difference between DRAWING object and DRAWINGAREA object?

Thank you,
-Fernando

You may want to place this on the ToDo list.

A form I have been working on is totally populated
with controls of various types.

There is no way to view the Property of the Form
because I cannot select the form.

When you right click in the IDE (working on a form)
the top item is SELECT ->.

Perhaps the first item on the list of controls
could be the 'form'.

I need to sense when the IP address on my cable modem changes.  To
complicate the matter I have a Linksys router setting between my
internal network (using NAT) and my cable modem.

I'm thinking that the only way to do this is to send a http request for
the status page and then scrape the current IP address off of the html
returned.  But since I want this to run unattended on my home server
that runs at run level 3 I don't want a gui. 

Can I run the browser as a nonvisual object?  Thanks.

No need to use the browser at all.... look at the gb.net.curl

ME.Mask is only useful if you want to make the window partially 
transparent.  If you just want to draw graphics, it's not necessary 
at all.

You don't need a browser, simply use a socket object to connect to the 
router.  Something like this:

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

PRIVATE sckComm AS Socket
PRIVATE Buffer AS String


' Startup, create the socket
PUBLIC SUB Main()
   sckComm = NEW Socket AS "sckComm"
END


' The Start SUB should be called by a timer or click event,
' this will fire a series of events, beginning by the connection
' to the router:

PUBLIC SUB Start()
   sckComm.Connect("192.168.1.1",80)
END


' When the connection is established, send your request:

PUBLIC SUB sckComm_Ready()
DIM S AS String
   Buffer = ""
   IF sckComm.Status = Net.Connected THEN
     S =     "GET http://192.168.1.1/Status.htm HTTP/1.1" & vbCRLF
     S = S & "Host: 192.168.1.1" & vbCrLf
     S = S & "Authorization: Basic " & ToBase64(":xxxxx") & vbCrLf
     S = S & vbCrLf
     WRITE #sckComm, S, Len(S)
   END IF
END
' *** You should replace the xxxxx above, with your router password,
' the : before the password is required.


' Read the response and save it in a buffer:

PUBLIC SUB sckComm_Read()
DIM S AS String
   IF sckComm.Status = Net.Connected THEN
     READ #sckComm, S, Lof(sckComm)
     Buffer = Buffer & S
   END IF
END


' When the connection closes, it means that the response is complete,
' now you need to parse it and extract the IP address:

PUBLIC SUB sckComm_Closed()
DIM S AS String
   IF Buffer<>"" THEN
     S = UCase$(Buffer)

' *** In here you would parse the html response and get the IP address.

   END IF
END


' This function is used to convert the "username:password" string to

I used the Networking / ClientSocket example as a startup point to write 
this.  I hope it helps a little.

I have encountered problems in the IDE.

1) in the LOCAL tab of the Project Window
I have a few variables of which one
local Integer variable is:

The NAME column shows 'counter'
The Value column shows '=21'

-----------
Question...
The equal sign comes from where?
-----------

2) I have a global string 's'
  It is supposed to have all kinds of characters in it
  including ASC values less than 32

In the CONSOLE...

if I ?len(s) I get zero (even though I know it is assigned)
if I ?Mid$(s,1,1) I get the first letter correctly returned,
and then immediately the LOCAL tab of the Project Windows changes
the value of another Local variable:

NAME = msg_num  (an integer variable)

VALUE = ERROR:21

-------------------
Question..
What is ERROR 21?
-------------------

Then when I press F8 to single step,

The CONSOLE windows shows the FORM.Subroutine.Line number 
and not the Project window.

I can compile and make an executable.

I'm really confused with the IDE bugs.

Any ideas how these happen ?

Trying many things...it appears that the 
order of DIMing local variables makes a difference

DIMing strings after the Integers appears to help.
This is true when the strings contain wield ASC values.

I experienced a similar strange problem.

I had to use an array of objects and two arrays of integers, but if I created 
them in three consecutive lines, at runtime I got a "Bad number of dimensions" 
error and the program stopped.

Just moving the creation of the two arrays of integers a few lines down, in the 
same sub, without touching or modifying anything else, solved the problem.

Thanks for the bug reports, but pleeeeaaase.... Can you post some code, or 
better a complete project ? Because:

1) English is often not our language, and so we can misunderstand ourself.

2) You may have found a bug that depends on the project context.

So, by sending a project (complete, or just stripped to the buggy code), it 
will be far easier for me fixing the problem!

Thanks in advance,

Actually it's as simple as follows.

This does not work:

STATIC PUBLIC o AS Object[]
STATIC PUBLIC a AS Integer[]
STATIC PUBLIC b AS Integer[]

PUBLIC SUB Button2_Click()

   DIM grid AS Integer

   grid = 20

   b = NEW Integer[grid, grid]
   a = NEW Integer[grid, grid]

   o = NEW Object[](grid)

   o[0] = NEW Button(ME)

END

When I press Button2 I get the "Bad number of dimensions" error.

This works instead:

STATIC PUBLIC o AS Object[]
STATIC PUBLIC a AS Integer[]
STATIC PUBLIC b AS Integer[]

PUBLIC SUB Button2_Click()

   DIM grid AS Integer

   grid = 20

   o = NEW Object[](grid)

   b = NEW Integer[grid, grid]
   a = NEW Integer[grid, grid]

   o[0] = NEW Button(ME)

END

As you can see, I just moved two lines down, nothing else.

I don't know if this can be a bug or not, but, if you have a button for
instance with a event code and after you change the name of the button,
this button lose the event.

For instance:

PUBLIC SUB Button1_Click()

  ConfClientes.Close

END

After I finish I realised that this button had a generic name, I changed
the name and after this the code didn't work because there wasn't any
button with this name.

It is possible to change the name in the code when you change the name
of a button, checkbox, ...

Benoit,

Since I am converting from VB,
I have many files that use the 8B DATE/TIME data format.

For current software to run simultaneously to Gambas software,
I need to convert the VB format to Gambas.

Can you describe the Integer+Integer format
of the DATE datatype in Gambas so I can proceed?

Thanks in advance

Hi,
I don't think that this is a bug. You must change the name of the sub to
NewName_Click() and it works.

Hi,

I want to make some hotkeys for a projekt. So I try to code it with 

 

Public sub Form_KeyPress ()

If key.code = ... then

Something happens

 

But it works only if the form has no buttons and other controls. If the form
has other controls, one of the controls has the focus and it don't works. Is
there another way to make some hotkeys for a project?

Well, Benoit will of course give you more detailed and appropriate
explanations, but in the meanwhile I can tell you what I discovered about the
stack.

Since I had a deeply recursive function, I used up all the stack space so I
went around to see how this could be changed.

I found out something interesting in main/gbx/gbx_stack.c, namely the
STACK_size variable which is by default 16K.

I increased it and recompiled gambas, and didn't run out of stack space anymore.

Hope it helps.

Fernando, please start a new thread each time you are asking a new question. 
Do not answer to an already existing thread!

Now the date/time format. I don't know what format use VB internally. But if 
you want to convert date/time from VB (or any other source) to gambas, the 
better is having the year, month, day, hour, minute and second, and using the 
Gambas Date() function to make the date/time value.

In the past, you was able to configure this value from the IDE. I removed 
that, with the aim of having a stack that can grow dynamically. But I never 
had the time to implement this feature, so the stack still has a fixed 
size :-(

I note that in the TODO list...

There is no interface in the QT component to globally intercept key events 
yet, but there is a trick:

If you have a menu in your form, its keyboard shortcuts are globally managed. 
So you can add an hidden menu to your form to solve your problem.

I got it. I am stupid...

If you use the SHELL instruction, then the command is executed inside a shell, 
so Process.Id returns the pid of the shell, not the pid of the executed 
command!

But I don't understand why killing the shell won't kill the command. Maybe the 
shell ignores the signal. I will investigate... :-)

I did that, and it works: (development version)

PUBLIC SUB Main()

  DIM hProcess AS Process

  'hProcess = EXEC ["ls", "-laR", "/"]
  hProcess = SHELL "ls -laR /" FOR READ

  WAIT 2

  PRINT "*************** KILL"
  hProcess.Kill

  WAIT 5

END

PUBLIC SUB Process_Read()

  DIM sStr AS String

  READ #LAST, sStr, Lof(LAST)
  PRINT sStr;

END

The shell and the 'ls' command run during 2 seconds, and then they are stopped 
by the Kill method.

Tell me if it works with your 'cat /dev/video...'

When you reply a mail, it creates a field in the header part of the mail like

This is what (I think) all mail clients use to threads mails.
For that reason, simply changing the subject mail does not work.

Hi,

A strange error: When I read in a Euro sign into a TextArea and then try

t$ = Conv$(TextArea.Text, Desktop.Charset, "ISO-8859-1")

I get the error

"Bad string conversion".

I found out that any character typed in with AltGr results in this error.

Any ideas?

The euro sign does not exist in ISO-8859-1, but in ISO-8859-15.

Subject: [Gambas-user] Buttons and Ampersands (&)
Message-ID: <4294A9F6.2070906@...966...>

Wednesday, 25 May 2005

Good Day . . .

I have got a problem with ampersands. I can't get rid of them. I created 
  a half dozen buttons with text and ampersands.

Note: I assume that ampersands are still hot key enablers.

I wanted to reorganise so I removed all the ampersands from the button 
text properties. I ran the program and the ampersands were back. All of 
them!

The text properties show no ampersands. I deleted a button and 
substituted another with the same name and text. The ampersand was back!

I renamed the text property on a button and no ampersand. The button was 
retexted to the old text and back came the ampersand.

Using find files and folders/sub folders, I searched for the "&" 
character in all files and folders. The usual suspects were found but no 
button text examples.

I deleted the executable. I deleted the associated file in .gambas but 
no success. The ampersands keep returning.

How do I get rid of them?

Thank You

If my_boolean_var = TRUE THEN TRY CLOSE #hfile

You are shure, that the three points in your path works? This is usually an 
alias (mostly in SuSE), which might not be set in a shell which is forked 
from gambas.

Hi Rolf,
the three point are for the name of the directory.
I want to make it a little bit shorter for the mailing list. 

The first three points = tcs
Second three points = aufnahmen

Arrg! The 'cat /dev/video > ...' is a command that is *interpreted* by the 
shell.

When you use EXEC, you don't have any shell, you just call the command, and 
give it parameters.

You have to get the output of EXEC [ "cat", "/dev/video0" ] and put it in the 
destination file with Gambas.

Great! Really great! 
I think the weakest parts of gambas was the documentation.
This will make it much more readable and understandable.

I'm working on getting that set up.  Unfortunately, I'm under a 
deadline of tomorrow on a big project and won't get to it until 
tomorrow night at least.

It looks great, Benoit.  I can't believe you implemented a wiki in

Subject: [Gambas-user] Gambas programs recognized as executables
Message-ID: <4299A8B6.7000506@...338...>

Hi:

A Gambas program can be recognized by the Linux kernel as an executable, 
if the
binfmt_misc module is enabled (this is the normal thing in all common 
modern Linux
distributions). To test it, do at root in a console:

echo ':Gambas:M::# Gambas Project File::/usr/bin/gbx:' > 
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register

for gambas, or:

echo ':Gambas:M::# Gambas Project File::/usr/bin/gbx2:' > 
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register

for gambas2.

Then, compile a gambas program, edit it (vi is a good option), and 
remove all from the beggining
of the file to the phrase: "# Gambas Project File", so the first line in 
the gambas executable is just
"# Gambas Project File".

Then, try to execute the program.

I've tested it with little programs and they run OK, however big 
programs like the Gambas ide,
seems to fail, as it seems to lose some information about paths...

Regards,

D. Campos

Subject: [Gambas-user] Adding Classes to Collections... we can't do this?
Message-ID: <429A40B9.403@...981...>

   OK, I'm coming from the VB 6.0 world and I know I know this is not 
VB... I have a question anyway about adding classes to collections. Um.. 
why can't we do this? So far al I can do is add each item in the class 
to the collection... but that is a royal pain in the butt. What I want 
to do is something like this.

'*********** BEGIN SAMPLE CODE ***************************************
'*** This does not work...
Dim MyCollection as New Collection

' The Class has two integer values in it.. X and Y (just for example)
Dim MyClass as XYClass

MyClass = new XYClass

With MyClass
      .X = 10
      .Y = 10
End With

MyCollection.Add(MyClass)

MyClass = NULL  ' Is this equiv. to the VB "Set MyClass = Nothing"


'*** This DOES work but is kludgy
Dim MyCollection as New Collection

' The Class has two integer values in it.. X and Y (just for example)
Dim MyClass as XYClass

MyClass = new XYClass

With MyClass
      .X = 10
      .Y = 10
End With

MyCollection.Add(MyClass.X, MyClass.Y)

MyClass = NULL  ' Is this equiv. to the VB "Set MyClass = Nothing"


'*********** END SAMPLE CODE ***************************************

   Now froma programming standpoint I like the first way better because 
I  simply add the created class to the collection. Wonderful, less 
typing for me.
   Does the problem stem from collection only being able to hold Variant 
types?

Gambas Collections are not exactly like in VB. The first argument of Add() is 
the key, the second is the value. They are both mandatory, contrary to VB.

If you don't need a key, then use an array instead of a Collection:
--> Dim MyCollection as New Object[]

   Ahhh OK. Will try that and see. I prefer collections over arraya... 
especially because of the unique key feature.... very handy.

The click event is called everytime you click on the
checkbox not just because it has been changed.  If I
click on the text next to the checkbox, it fires that
event as well.

Is that possible anyway? As far as I understand from all docs, the 
tableview is graphics-only, i. e. you cannot make it editable itself. 
Instead, you will have to use a TextBox to be shown above the tableview 
and on the cell you want to edit.

This is how I did it in my current project.

Is it possible that the CASE instruction does not know a TO range?

I had

SELECT CASE Val(t$)

CASE 1 TO 19

...

END SELECT

and it says "End of line expected" for the line with the CASE.

If TO is not implemented, what would you use here instead?

Thanks for your help.

Well it's so simple:

On the Form (wherever your TableView lives) draw a TextBox and make it 
INVISIBLE by default.

Choose the Double-Click event of the TableView and let it make the 
TextBox appear:

TextBox.Visible = True

At the same time, the X, Y, Width and Height of the TextBox should be 
adapted to the values of the cell the user has clicked on. This cell is 
TableView.Current.Blabla

In my example, "Eingabe" is the TextBox, tbd is the TableView.

The more complicated thing is that you have to guard the input of the 
user and send the TextBox all over the TableView. To achieve that, I 
catch the KeyPressed of the TextBox and decide what to do (this one 
isn't complete yet). I include it for your information.


PUBLIC SUB tbd_DblClick()

   IF tbd.Rows.Count = 0 THEN RETURN

   IF NOT TabelleAnzeigen THEN tbd.Column = 1

   baum.Enabled = FALSE

   tbd.Current.EnsureVisible
   Eingabe.X = tbd.X + tbd.Current.X
   Eingabe.Y = tbd.Y + tbd.Current.Y
   Eingabe.Height = tbd.Current.Height
   Eingabe.Width = tbd.Current.Width
   Eingabe.Visible = TRUE
   Eingabe.SetFocus

   IF TabelleAnzeigen THEN
     Eingabe.Text = TabellenZelle(tblDaten[tbd.Row + 2], tbd.Column + 1)
   ELSE
     Eingabe.Text = rechts[tbd.Row]
   END IF

END




PUBLIC SUB Eingabe_KeyPress()
DIM verschoben AS Boolean

   SELECT CASE Key.Code

   CASE key.Esc
     IF message.Question("Es wurden Daten ver??ndert.", "Speichern", 
"Verwerfen") = 1 THEN
       message.Info("Noch nicht implementiert")
     END IF
     Eingabe.Visible = FALSE
     tbd.Refresh
     baum.Enabled = TRUE

   CASE key.Tab
     STOP EVENT
     RETURN

   CASE key.Enter, key.Return
     IF TabelleAnzeigen THEN
       IF tbd.Column < tbd.Columns.Count - 1 THEN
         'Wert ??bergeben an das Array
         tbd.Refresh

If you click on the text, the checkbox must change as if you click on the box. 
This is the case in the QT component. Doesn't it behave like that ?

Open the destination file before running the process, and in the Process_Read 
event, get the output of the process and write it to the file:

SUB Process_Read()

  DIM sBuffer AS String
  DIM iLen AS Integer

  iLen = Lof(LAST)
  READ #LAST, sBuffer, iLen
  WRITE #hFile, sBuffer, iLen

END

When the process is terminated, close the destination file.

SUB Process_Kill()

  CLOSE #hFile

END

And I'll repeat my questions to you from when you emailed me about 
this privately....

What version of Gambas do you have installed?

What Linux distribution are you using and which version?

Did you install Gambas and Fakebas via packages or from source?
