[Gambas-user] Behaviour of Control.Public=True

[Bruce Steers]

When i study my form files i see if i have set Public = true then i get the
following...

It adds #Public = True to the fields.
It also adds an exclamation mark "!" to the beginning of the definition..





*      { !Button1 Button        MoveScaled(5,14,14,4)        #Public =
True        Text = ("WhatRadio?")      }*


Did you try adding ! to the definition start?
*Print #fs, "{ !" & GSCT & "_" & dat!feld & " TextBox"*
