[Gambas-user] Declaring 'Public pbSwitch As Object[16]' throws error 'Syntax error in FMain.class:3'

[Doug Hutcheson]

Thanks for the explanation, Tobias. Having fixed the declaration, I am
able to run the code, but all I see is an empty form with no controls.
Sigh. I will keep hacking until I understand enough to make it work.

Gambas is great work, by the way - just what I needed.

Cheers,
Doug
