Hi Brittany,
You have 2 options: write to a simple text file or write to a database.
Writing to a text file is simple.
'-----------------------------------------
' Gambas class file
PUBLIC hFile AS File
PUBLIC SUB form_Activate()
'create the file if it does not exist, otherwise just open it
IF Exist(Application.path & "/file.txt") THEN
hFile = OPEN Application.path & "/file.txt" FOR WRITE APPEND
ELSE
hFile = OPEN Application.path & "/file.txt" FOR WRITE CREATE
ENDIF
TextBox1.SetFocus
END
PUBLIC SUB btnExit_Click()
hFile.Close
FMain.Close
END
PUBLIC SUB btnWrite_Click()
'write the 2 textboxes to the File
PRINT #hFile, TextBox1.text & "," & TextBox2.text
'clear the textboxes and put the cursor back in the first
TextBox1.text = ""
TextBox2.text = ""
TextBox1.SetFocus
END
'------------------------------
You can check the file (file.txt) by loading it in any text processor.
Because of the 'application.path', you will find it in the same directory as
your program.
Writing to a database is more flexible and a little more difficult. You can
create a simple SQLite database from Gambas though it is probably easier
using a very adequate add-on to Firefox (click Tools,add-ons and search
sqlite). You can see how to open and write to sqlite with a small tutorial
at www.kalaharix.wordpress.com.
