Re: [Gambas-user] how to start a file?
I'm not sure what you mean, but this code creates file. Dim hFile as File Dim sString as String = Something to write. hFile = Open testfile.txt For Create Write #hFile, sString Close #hFile More from here: http://gambasdoc.org/help/lang/open http://gambasdoc.org/help/cat/stream Or if you mean how to attach files to your project.

Hi Dimitris, Thanks for your answer. I'm not sure if this is exactly what I want but I'll check.

For instance a pdf file with the customer spec. The data, I'll store in a mySQL database where I can put the path as well. When the user (or an other user) opens the project and clicks on the link, how can I tell to Gambas to open the file with the default application (in the example with acrobat reader).

Re: [Gambas-user] how to start a file?
Hey Robi, What I described above is a way to store information in a configuration file. what you need is different Files are going to be attached where? Where is the pdf going to be stored? in the same computer where the project is running? or in a website? To open a file with the default application, try using the gb.desktop component and Desktop.Open() as Benoit suggested. call it like this Desktop.Open(file:///myPDF.pdf) if it is for a file or Desktop.Open(http://myserver.com/myPDF.pdf;) if the file is on a server somewhere on the internet.

Sorry, my joke didn't work! :-/ I meant that AFAIK, Draw.Ellipse() didn't change at all since the beginning. It always took the coordinates of the rectangle surrounding it. The problem however is that the figure is placed in a wrong place in a drawing area. To see it you can draw an ellipse in a center of a square Drawing Area and you will see that it is displaced in positive direction in both X an Y. To do things simple enough for not a professional in maths make both axes of an ellipse equal and get a circle. I hope it will convince you. I don't understand what you want to do exactly: if you want to draw an ellipse from is center and its two diameters (for example), assuming that the two ellipse axes are horizontal and vertical, you can do: Draw.Ellipse(XCenter - XDiameter / 2, YCenter - YDiameter / 2, XDiameter, YDiameter) Of course, you will lost one pixel if XDiameter or YDiameter is not even.

Re: [Gambas-user] how to start a file?
I just read the answers in a reverse order... I believe that the Desktop.Open is exactly what I need. Many thanks! I'll run the program on a server and I let the user to decide if he saves only the link or attach the file - in this case I'll copy the referred file to a dedicated folder on the server and I save the link of this copy. Regards, Robi 2009/9/14 Dimitris Anogiatis dos...@gmail.com Hey Robi, What I described above is a way to store information in a configuration file. what you need is different Files are going to be attached where? Where is the pdf going to be stored? in the same computer where the project is running? or in a website? To open a file with the default application, try using the gb.desktop component and Desktop.Open() as Benoit suggested. call it like this Desktop.Open(file:///myPDF.pdf) if it is for a file or Desktop.Open(http://myserver.com/myPDF.pdf;) if the file is on a server somewhere on the internet.

I try to tell more concretly my need: I wanna make a small project follower application for my colleagues where they can follow some actions and attach files. For instance a pdf file with the customer spec. The data, I'll store in a mySQL database where I can put the path as well. When the user (or an other user) opens the project and clicks on the link, how can I tell to Gambas to open the file with the default application (in the example with acrobat reader). I just need the same effect as when I double click on the icon. If this is what you described just confirm please. Thanks, Robi 2009/9/14 Dimitris Anogiatis dos...@gmail.com Hey Robi, one of the options is to use the gb.settings library. while you're on the IDE press CTRL and P then click on the Componets tab, find gb.settings and click on the box on the left side of the selection then press Ok now in your code you need to use this on top of your code (ie put this on the first line of your form or module) Public pathSettings AS NEW Settings(User.Home / Application.Name / Application.Name .conf) this means that if your user account name is robi and your application's name is myApp then the settings file will be created in this path /home/robi/myApp/myapp.conf now to save settings you use pathSettings like this pathSettings[Files/LoadFrom]=your path this will create a category Files in your settings file and under that it will create a LoadFrom item where you can store your path's value to read that value all you have to do is myPath = pathSettings[Files/LoadFrom] I hope it helps Regards Dimitris On Sun, Sep 13, 2009 at 4:39 PM, yuhej robert1juh...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, I just start with Gambas (used VB before) and hopefully I found a place where I can get some answers. At this moment I wish to add an option of attaching files in my application (by saving the path) and to open them later. Can someone tell me how can I start a file from Gambas? For instance a spreadsheet with open office? Thanks for your help in advance.
