[Gambas-user] What has happened to ValueBox

[Michael]

Benoit,
On the line "Dim txtTemp as Valuebox = LAST" I get an error "Expecting 
valuebox got textbox" But the last control was a valuebox.
It works if I change the code to "Dim txtTemp as Textbox" even though it 
is not a textbox firing the event.

Then I cannot read the "name" that I assigned to the valuebox. 
txtTemp.Name just returns "Textbox".

I tried replacing the valuebox with a DateBox but this appears to have a 
bug. I can set the value of the DateBox in code and it displays 
correctly. I can pick a value from the DatePicker and it displays 
properly. But it does not have a .Text property to read so I read the 
.Value property and it always returns "00:00:00"

Using gtk+ and Ubuntu 10.10 64bit and Gambas 3363. The code i use worked 
fine in Gambas2.

Here is a small extract of the code as it works in Gambas2:
Public Sub Value_LostFocus()
         Dim txtTemp As ValueBox = Last    'MUST CHANGE TO TextBox in 
Gambas3
         txtTemp.Background = Color.White

         Select Case txtTemp.Name     'Gambas 3 returns "textbox"
             Case "txtDaysGas"

Regards
Michael
