[Gambas-user] The "Shell" Command

[John]

Hi and thanks for the help.

 1. I thought that from a usere stand point the the clean look of the text and a picture would look better. from a programming point of view, it is alot more work and this was my first atempt to make a CC. I will think about the button idea, how do you attach a picture to a button anyway?

 2. Doing another project, I learned that it did not need the "&" in it but thought "what the heck, lets try it". It did not correct the problem so I will go back and delete them.

 3. hmm......not sure what to say about this. Did you try and package it for Ubuntu/Mint and then use Gdebi to install/test it? Like I said, it works from the IDE but not after installing it as a .deb file. Maybe I did something wrong in the packaging of it.

 4. Lubuntu 12.10 and Gambas 3.3.3 in a VBox. I run this on a Mac so I have to use VBox.

 Thanks for the help guy, I can really use the input from you guys.

 -John

 You can send compressed projects here as attachment. First thing that comes into my mind, is why don't you use buttons with picture? Now there is mix of labels and pictureboxes, without apparent reason which one to click on. With 'shell "somecommand &"', the ampersand is not necessary, as execution of shell is not waited, unless set otherwise with wait command ( http://gambasdoc.org/help/lang/shell?v3 ). I ran it on Xubuntu 12.04 64 bit with Gambas 3 rev 5300 without any problems. Not even annoying questions that you mentioned. What is your system and Gambas version? Jussi EDIT:
