That regular expression is meant to extract a valid email address. (It may not be a working email address, but it should at least be legal.)

Such a tag could be used to overcome this drawback of sorting-and-confusing the list. In my projects I have been using two approaches to solve the problem: 1) Make a second array with the same contents, unsorted, and search for the item clicked on in the ComboBox. This will deliver proper results only when the items are unique. (You don't need to give an index if you sort it anyway.) ComboBoxProjects.Add("ZZ") Background.Add("ZZ") ComboBoxProjects.Add("AA") Background.Add("AA") ComboBoxProjects.Sort() ...when clicked: PRINT Background.Index(Background.Find(ComboBoxProjects.Current.Text)) (CAUTION: I didn't test this, it's written from memory...) 2) Don't sort the ComboBox list but feed it with a readily sorted and indexed list from you. Hope it helps... Rolf From jussi.lahtinen at ...626... Thu Mar 12 16:23:42 2009 From: jussi.lahtinen at ...626...

No, I doubt it, this is the annoying thing about a combo box - it dosn't matter what you put in the index, gambas will label them 0-n I've struggled with the same problem as I wanted to use database keys as the indexes. perhaps we are both doing something wrong. richard > > I am using Gambas 2.7.1 on Ubuntu Ibex > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >--- Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are > powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.

The > order of the text changes but the index remains the same, so selecting > the AA row gives me an index of 0, not 1 as expected. > I think there is nothing wrong... if you set the Sort property to true, you expect that items are sorted while you are adding them. So, no matter in which order/index you add them, "AA" will be 0 (the first), and "ZZ" will be 1 (the second). If this breaks your logic, then you must change the logic elsewhere; for example, if you add filenames to a such ordered combobox, then rely on ComboBoxProjects.Text instead of its index. If the underlying logic is more complicated, then sort things before adding them to the combobox (and don't use the combobox sorting). Or use an ancillary array, like Rolf-Werner suggested. In effect, the combobox logic should be to rely on its text (think at it as a "controlled" input box), not on its index. The fact it can be automatically ordered refers to its "text" items...

I am trying to update a "temporary" table, say "tmp" in postgresql on a name matching basis using the gb.db.form databrowser control. Essentially I have a little app where the user opts to add a name or match a name. This app updates "tmp" setting flags based on the user's choice for a row. It works fine and dandy most of the time and I have even figured out how to successfully cope with the O'Sullivans and O'Briens. However, I am not winning at all when it comes to names like "Dick & Jane Smith". When the databrowser tries to update the row I get a busy cursor and the row update never completes. The composite name field is the primary key on the tmp table by the way. I can update the row using the gambas database manager (which OK is not using the databrowser). Also what is important here is that it is not the name field that is being updated, just the two boolean fields for add and match.

I use postgres extensively - my base database with lookup tables/data/structure is about 100MB and I've 26 Schema's probably 100's of normalised tables/views and never have trouble. I don't however use the database manager as I found it wouldn't read my database properly, thowing up an error, so I do it all by hand. Logon, and post the queries in code. I don't use databound controls either, but load the data into whatever I want. Perhaps a hangover from my original Vb/access days when I didn't use the data controls. If you post you code as a min-project (save it on the menu and attatch it) plus a dump of your database structure from pgadmin (with options plain, no owner eg to a file mydb.sql I could have a look at what you are trying to do.

The update "just happens" when the row in the databrowser changes, i.e. the user clicks on another row in the gridview. I just can't seem to figure a way of trapping it before the update is sent to the server. xxx_Validate() doesn't help.

With a text box wouldn't you have to type in what you wanted - isn't this d more steps for the user?

This is off the top of my head, but if it dos'nt work mail me and I'll do a little mini-project for you. You add whatever control you want to your workspace: E.g You have a form called FMyForm with whatever on it that you want to put on the workspace. Run it and make sure it loads. ON the form with the workspace control called workspace1: dim MyForm as FMyform (the form you created and tested) Public sub form_open() MyForm = New FMyForm Workspace1.Add(MyForm) end Regards richard > > -Ricky > > P.S.

This release fixes many bugs in the interpreter, the GTK+ component, the networking component, the PDF component, and the XML/RPC component. Here is the full changelog: --8<--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [CONFIGURATION] * NEW: Switch to 2.12 version. [DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT] * BUG: Gambas version should be always displayed correctly in the about and welcome dialogs now. * NEW: Japanese translation updated. * NEW: Support for Malayalam language. * NEW: The toolbox now remembers if it is opened or closed. [INTERPRETER] * BUG: Fix two possible bugs in 64 bits support. * BUG: MOD works again with Long values. * BUG: Array.Clear() now does not crash anymore on multi-dimensional arrays. It just voids the array contents. Array.Clear() behaviour on single dimensional arrays did not change: it removes all elements from the array. [GB.DB.SQLITE2] * BUG: Fix a compilation warning. [GB.GTK] * BUG: Fix the container arrangement and the ClientX / ClientY properties. * BUG: GridView Row and Column properties can be set independently. * BUG: The TabStrip.Font property works as expected. * BUG: Image.Draw() now works correctly if X or Y are negative. * BUG: TextLabel.Adjust() now works as expected. * BUG: Dialog.SaveFile() now correctly initializes the file name in the file chooser dialog. * BUG: Disabled controls correctly honor the Background property. * BUG: The Foreground and Background properties of TabStrip, CheckBox, RadioButton and other Button controls work as expected. * BUG: Setting the Font property does not create a memory leak anymore. * BUG: The menu bar of a reparented window does not disappear anymore. * BUG: Fix the ComboBox.Add() method slowness. * BUG: Fix the corruption of the Text property in editable combo-boxes. * BUG: Fix again the Font property for non-control classes. [GB.NET] * BUG: UdpSocket.TargetPort returns the accurate value now. * BUG: Too many connections on a ServerSocket does not take 100% CPU anymore. [GB.PDF] * BUG: PdfDocument.HasIndex does not return TRUE anymore when there is an index whose length is null. * BUG: Fix PdfIndex.HasChildren that sometimes returned TRUE when there was no children. * BUG: Fix PdfIndex.MoveChild() accordingly. [GB.QT] * BUG: Borderless windows do not have a border anymore with Metacity. * BUG: The Window.Mask property works correctly now. * BUG: Draw.Image() and Draw.Picture() now work correctly on transparent pictures. * BUG: The minimum size of modal dialog is correctly set again. [GB.XML.RPC] * BUG: RpcStruct.Value() should work as expected now. * BUG: Event management was fixed, thanks to Ron. * BUG: RcpArray.Copy() now returns an RpcArray object. --8<--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note that there is a little "bug" in the package: the version number and the package name is 2.12, and not 2.12.0. If it leads to any problem, I will make a 2.12.1 release. Enjoy it! -- Beno?t From linuxos at ...1896... Sat Mar 21 16:47:11 2009 From: linuxos at ...1896...

But form shown in Modal mode still continue to manifest borders. Try this: create a simply application with 2 forms, FMain and Form1. FMain is a normal window, for Form1 set the Border to None. Then, in the Form_Open() event of FMain put this code: ME.Visible = FALSE Form1.ShowModal and run the application. The Form1 window that will appear will still continue to show borders (of cource, only using gb.qt on Gnome: gb.gtk works properly). 2) The second bug is related to the IDE, and in particular to the Properties area. It seems that using the IDE, made with Qt, on a Gnome DM manifest errors of rendering. In the screenshot you can see that the comboboxes of the properties seem to exit out of the IDE border. But if I click on a different combobox, we can understand: the list of the properties are moved to the left because the combobox seem just to have fixed width. -- Ciao. Leo.

A file descriptor is ready to read if the read() system call won't block. And this is the case even if the end of file is reached, as then read() returns an error (and so does not block!). If you actually want to do what the "tail" command (watching a file and print its contents), you should do that: - Get the file size every second. - If the file size has changed since the last time, read the file from its last position until the end of the file.

Some controls (Label and TextLabel) have an AutoResize property if you need them. I will think about that.

I add the gb.sdl.sound and now cannot install packages because I get Dependencies not satisfiable for gb.sdl.sound. So I figured maybe I need to add gb.sdl but I can't because my program is qt based and it says qt and sdl incompatible. When I run my program without gb.sdl installed and with gb.sdl.sound installed it runs fun from IDE. I can create executable, and I can package it but I cannot install the package without the error popping about dependencies.

That only works if all the versions are part of the same major release. 21 is less than 135 too... In Perl, I would do something like this: ($maj, $min) = split(/\./, $version); $sortableversion = sprintf("%05d.%05d", $maj, $min); I think you could do much the same in Gambas but it would take more lines, two Format() calls instead of just a sprintf, and you'd be using an array rather than two strings.

It's not possible. 2.5 and 2.10 in the Gambas numbering scheme mean different things than 2.10 and 2.5 in some other developers' schemes, and you can't derive it without observation and manual intervention. Then you have the projects who change their numbering schemes in midstream, like pan (0.133 is newer than 0.142) and others have done. Rob From m0e.lnx at ...626...

In the case of 2.05a and 2.05c then you'd prolly have to see which string is the larger of the two. I'd use a simple "IF a > b then print b else print a" kind of statement or the comp function to compare the 2 strings.

Try putting a print statement in there e.g PRINT "rm " & application.Path & "/imagenes/*.*" copy the terminal output from this into a real linux terminal and see what error message you get. or try your exact command out first in a terminal before putting it into a gambas string. Also check the file permissions on the files in that directory.

So you just have to keep the contents prepared for it in the array in the background as Fabien has shown: dim myarray[16000,16000] Here is where you store your data for each cell. As soon as you or your code gives the gridview a reason to start updating (in Fabien's example: Rows.Count and Columns.Count), it will jump into the _Data event and fetch its data for every cell from there: public sub gridview1_data(row as integer, column as integer) gridview1.data.text = myarray[row, column] end Hope it helps...

The TableView won't edit any cell unless you explicitely call its Edit (or EditWith) method during a Select event. Just don't call Edit() if the current column is zero.

Moreover, NULL is not the same as chr$(0), but refers to the null pointer (or an empty string), but this is different from C. if sElement is a simple string, and assuming iLoop goes from 1 to the length of the string, then you test like this: if mid$(sElement, iLoop, 1)=chr$(0) then sElement=left$(1,iLoop-1) & "0" & mid$(sElement, iLoop+1) Note two things here: gambas does not have indexing of strings, like C. Use left$(), mid$() and so on is the way to analyze strings. This also means that you can not change a single char in a string, but you have to reconstruct the string itself. Anyway, there are more powerful instruction - see the docs about string manipulation; a single replace() could do what you want: sElement = Replace$(sElement, chr$(0), "0") If is it true that sElement should be an array of strings, then perhaps you are not looking for chr$(0), or you need two indexes, or you should provide more information about what you want to do...

The split() function could save code and CPU time: DIM sElement AS String[] <-- note, no dimension sElement = split(sComponent, ",") <-- this line does the work of "FOR iLoop" After separating elements, you want some float number. Perhaps, thanks to automatic conversions of gambas, you could avoid to use val(), and write things like "PSize[iRec] = sElement[2]". The statement TRY could help to facilitate the assignment; instead of testing for empty strings, you could simply TRY to do the assignment: this protects also from invalid numbers.

I read in the documentation that a function like SHL should keep care of the initial type of data.

If you try SHL(197,3) you would think to espect 46 as result. Instead, you get 1576! 197 in binary format is 11000101, so a shift of 3 bit should give a result of 00101000 (40). It seems that the function doesn't check the initial type of the received data (in the example the byte type, with a lenght of 8 bits) and simply rolls on the left the bit, adding some zeros to the right. In fact, 1576 is 11000101000 in binary format, just the original number of 11000101 plus 3 zeros on the right. Same behaviour with ROL function.

When you create controls at run time, the class is already formed (it contains all the controls created at design time, but nothing else). So, they don't have a name in the class, and you can't access them that way. A control created in this way may or may not have a name assigned to its Name property - it is used for other purposes. But you can still access them by saving/keeping the variable you used to instanciate them, either as a global one, a class member one (public or private), or inside an array, or whatever: private lMyLabel as Label lMyLabel = new Label(fmMain) as "another" in this case, "another" is the name used for event management, but the real handle of the label will be "lMyLabel", and you can access "lMyLabel.text" in the usual way. But if lMylabel was DIMed as a local variable in a subroutine, then its handle gets lost after the subroutine terminates. You can access controls in two ways, even if their handle is lost. The first is using "LAST" pseudo-variable in a event handler; the second is to use the Children property of a container control. Regards, Doriano Blengino From jbskaggs at ...1871...

Message-ID: <22792079.post@...1379...> I would like to set up a online gambas school where the more experienced users and coders here could offer an online workshop on Gambas for users. Make it an affordable cost (Like a $0 to $25 a course, depending on complexity, length, and time required. A course on making Forms should be free, but a all inclusive course on writing a mmorpg in gambas should have a fee attached) and offer a workshop for different fundamentals: I know for me a lot of Gambas is intuitive but much of it isn't. Im thinking it could be setup on a moodle or someother workshop / class software. With online lessons and quizzes for free but to get the actual coding graded it would require a live teacher to grade and comment thereby why a nominal fee would be justified. I could even host the moodle site and help admin it but my programming knowledge is so low I wouldn't make a good teacher. But I could help someone setup a course and host it and that person could charge a reasonable fee to teach the course. (Though in the spirit of linux the less money the better.) For example I would be willing to pay right now to be tutored in how to reference, manipulate, and check objects and controls via code (dynamically via nested loops and such). I read the documents- I look at the examples and still I get the wrong impressions and waste hours and hours on many different controls or functions. I helped setup an online bible college and the way it ran was every course had a different instructor (or most did) and those instructors set their own prerequisites and graded assignments on their own schedule (within reason). But the very basic courses were almost entirely automated - no need to have heavy instructor interaction. But as the courses became more in depth then instructors became paramount. Because students needed to ask questions and yes other students could answer and even grade (though their gradings were subject to instructor override.) I look at the number of basic questions on Nabbles and just think that a systematic instruction courses would make gambas bloom even more. Maybe something like: 1- Setting up your Gambas a. download and installation b. Defining preferences and intro to Gambas 2- Mastering the IDE interface: a. creating projects, forms, simple control, saving, compiling, and packaging 3- Gambas Programming fundamentals: A big unit broken into smaller courses a. Forms b. Controls c. Assignments, Operators, Strings, Numbers, and Booleans d. Comparisons, Loops, and nestings e. Good programming, coding practices, and the Gambas Programming language 4. Components: Another big unit a. gb b. gb.compress c. gb.chart etc... 5. FX a. BMP, JPG, PNG, GIF, etc what they are. Editing and making them. b. Animations and movies c. creating, editing, and sounds and music 6. Application specific courses: a. How to write a text editor b. How to write a scrolling shooter game etc and so on and so forth. And of course offer a Certificates for completing the courses. I know moodle and setting up the site would be easy- and if someone wanted to teach a course I could setup the course, forums, and quizzes etc. I could make some beginner courses on my own- but I would need help with more advanced subjects. Any thoughts? Objections? Volunteers?

I tried something similar @ our vectorlinux forums where I offered to help anyone as much as I could get on the road with gambas. Did not pick up a whole lot of interested people, as I remember, only 2 people really got into it. One of them was able to write an application. The other one was getting really deep into the documentation before he got to the IDE, and something happened in his family, so he dropped it. I like the idea, I really think there is definitely a market for gambas in linux development, but dont expect to get a whole lot of interest. And i'm not being pesimistic, but rather realistic.

So if I wanted to have a big picture box reference each of the previous pictureboxes In GML I could use this: a="PictureBox" for i = 0 to 50 step 1 b=a&i BigPicturebox.Picture=b.picture wait 2 next i But In gambas I cannot reference a control with a string. I have tried dozens of ways and spent eleven hours reading the docs, looking at examples, and so on. But the solution eludes me. It seems really inefficient to type out Bigpicturebox.picture=picturebox1.picture wait 2.0 Bigpicturebox.picture=picturebox2.picture wait 2.0 Bigpicturebox.picture=picturebox3.picture wait 2.0 Bigpicturebox.picture=picturebox4.picture wait 2.0 etc... fifty times I am using pictureboxes but it could be any existing control I would want to control from another event. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Referencing-existing-multiple-controls-in-loops-tp22792680p22792680.html Sent from the gambas-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I for one will put up my hand to contribute with simple sample programs if someone will do the co-ordination. My working day (I'm in general practice in Australia) starts at 7:30am and I finish around 6-630PM - it is so long that I have only a few hours at night for my life, so I can't volunteer the co-ordination role. If someone could take responsibility for that, I'd be happy to be organised and asked to contribute.

I would be especially interested in the suggestion of placing user code online for others to examine. I do however think that it would have to be tightly controlled over content regarding useful comment, and required versions. I think that the simple things should be covered to begin with ie printing (info is hard to find on this subject). As I say I would be a user of this system and look forward to you folks with the knowledge getting something running! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/We-should-offer-online-Gambas-courses%21-tp22792079p22793757.html Sent from the gambas-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I think there needs to be two parts of this 1) More detailed examples in the documentation wiki even for really simple things 2) Complete code examples as part of a larger demo included with the distribution of Gambas, and maintained as part of the source code in svn That way, if you or I get run over by a truck it is still there.

When you create controls at run time, the class is already formed (it contains all the controls created at design time, but nothing else). So, they don't have a name in the class, and you can't access them that way. A control created in this way may or may not have a name assigned to its Name property - it is used for other purposes. But you can still access them by saving/keeping the variable you used to instanciate them, either as a global one, a class member one (public or private), or inside an array, or whatever: private lMyLabel as Label lMyLabel = new Label(fmMain) as "another" in this case, "another" is the name used for event management, but the real handle of the label will be "lMyLabel", and you can access "lMyLabel.text" in the usual way. But if lMylabel was DIMed as a local variable in a subroutine, then its handle gets lost after the subroutine terminates. You can access controls in two ways, even if their handle is lost. The first is using "LAST" pseudo-variable in a event handler; the second is to use the Children property of a container control.

It is slightly more complicated than necessary, but it shows what is possible to do. You can pass a form as first parameter, which is indeed a container: DIM hScan AS Object DIM i AS Integer i = 0 DO INC i hScan = ith_children_of(ME, i) IF NOT hScan THEN BREAK IF aname = "lDn" THEN hScan.text = dn IF object.Type(hScan) = "TextBox" OR object.Type(hScan) = "TextArea" THEN hScan.text = "" ' default ELSE IF object.Type(hScan) = "Button" THEN IF db_is_readonly AND hScan.name = "btModify" THEN hScan.Visible = FALSE IF db_is_readonly AND hScan.name = "btDelete" THEN hScan.Visible = FALSE ENDIF LOOP Here you see: I scan all the container (ME, the form where the subroutine resides), then I do several things depending on what I've got. You can test for the class of the object, or its name. A useful thing to test for is TAG, where you can store data serving no other purposes than your ones. As I said before, there is no need of such complication, I took it simply to show the variety of things. If you have a bunch of dynamically created controls scattered in a form, you can set the .Tag or .Name on each of them at the time of instanciation, and then use these kinds of routine. But if you put them all inside a single container, then you access them with for each hScan in hManyButtonsHbox.Children hScan.Enabled = false ' all the children of this hBox are disabled next The more effective way is to keep an array of handles when creating the controls, thought. I showed all this complication because you asked me about containers and childrens, but sometimes, especially in complex form, to operate this way saves time and errors.

Benoit has done a momentous amount of work in creating Gambas. ANd Richard's idea about annodated code is a great one- except for one flaw. That flaw is for the beginner without a systematic method of learning the language the odds are stacked against him /her. But like I said earlier why not have both? SOme people can see an example and go OH that's how it works- and others need more help. Good example: Algebra why can't kids just look at the example and understand it? Even when the example has comments the children have a hard time following- but with guided instruction and guided questions and answers then child is more likely to understand the math. Same works for adults not everyone does well solo with a textbook. Plus another problem is when people just cut and paste code without knowing what all the code is for becuase they are told it does x but in reality it does xyz. As far as more work for Benoit I am trying to come up with a way to lighten the load. :) I rreally do understand what you are saying, but I think people are thinking I a looking to replace a current method. I am not I want to another resource to the same methods. For the dummies like my self.

I mean: 1) A web site to enter well-commented and well-written pieces of code, tagged so that searching is easy. 2) An http interface so that the IDE can use these pieces of code as project examples automatically. We must have two types of examples. A full Gambas project that will be used as is by the IDE, or a little piece of code inside one Form, or a Module.

It was really was linux missed... Anyway... I have a problem or "bug" at programming with gambas...I really searched and googled to find out how to solve this one but nothing... Also in this e-mail i have a screenhost attached with the "error" tha appears and the source behind... I am quite sure that the problem is not at the code i wrote...the problem is that this error writes me that "there are too many nested control structures". So i guess that the language for some reason doesnt support more than a fixed number of line codes or more than a fixed number of IF THEN ELSE END IF... I really dont no what to do about this... Any reply helpful or not will be really appricieted...:D Here are information about my pc (maybe is my pc's problem...dunno) : * distribution : ubuntu 8.10 * kernel linux : 2.6.27-7-generic * gnome : 2.24.1 * memory : 2gb * processor : amd athlon 64 (3000+) * gambas version : 2.7 thank you in advance and if someone wants to send him my program's code to check out glad to do that and i am greek so a reply from another greek or in greek will be more apprecieted because i will understand the reply even easier :D thank you again _________________________________________________________________ Invite your mail contacts to join your friends list with Windows Live Spaces.

I'm talking about "debug packages", which are the debugging information of a binary package stored in another package to preserve your disk space. For example, on Mandriva, I have a gambas2-*.rpm packages, and a gambas2- debug.rpm package. But as you compiled Gambas from sources, you have nothing to do except doing again what you did. Then you should notice that your backtrace won't be the same. If you don't, then there was a problem in the compilation/installation process. You must: 1) Remove all your previous Gambas2 installation. 2) Do that in a shell (in the gambas2 source directory of course): ./reconf && ./configure -C && make 3) Check that you didn't get any error. 4) If everything is ok, then do that as root: make install Did you do that? -- Beno?t ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user From jussi.lahtinen at ...626...

Ok, first, stop: I find this is a good solution!

I really really agree. I live in the middle of a biggist city (Newastle NSW) and there are 6 houses in my street that cannot get ADSL, and even my mobile phone dosn't work properly in the house. Wireless is very flakey and very very expensive and I can't afford satellite, so yes, a downloadable repository, integrated with the IDE.

Every time the user hits a key, the place the timer is up to is reset, once they lag, then the timer event fires. Dosn't seem to be such a property. Thanks. From Karl.Reinl at ...9...
