[Gambas-user] Pre-release of Gambas 3.10.0

[Tony Morehen]

Because when I saw them I confused them with Show and Hide methods.  Duh!

Another request.  Is it possible to expose/export the DirCache class.  
I've been using it in several derivatives of some of your other classes 
(Dirview, FileChooser etc)

BTW I have several compoments I have been working on.  How do I submit 
them for your approval and possible inclusion in Gambas.

One is Filebrower, based on Dirview.  It's drop in compatible with 
DirView but adds two additional properties to allow the display of files 
in the tree and to sort folders first.  It also has an added event 
GetSpecialIcon(sPath As String, iIconType As Integer), which is like the 
Icon event but includes a flag specifying folder, open folder or file.

Another component is UpDown.  It is derived from Spinbar with a property 
(Showbar) that toggles the display of the bar.  I needed a SpinBox with 
a float value.

On a more trivial note, I have a status bar component, based on code I 
found floating on the web.

Finally, I'd like to say how amazingly satisfying it is to work with 
Gambas.  So far I have developed a Desktop Panel and Menu, a Text 
Editor, a File Explorer and a car computer app that runs on a Raspberry 
Pi and plays audiovideo and embeds NavIt, plus other projects.  I intend 
to upload these to the software farm, testing permitted.  Attached is a 
screen shot showing off some of these projects.
