Re: [Gambas-user] make Label background from Database field
Dear Doriano, I have tested both codes with sTemp = CStr(rsThesi!thesi) 'As a string variable AND then with iTemp = rsThesi!thesi 'As Integer I get the results on the console but the code now stops at: sTemp = CStr(rsThesi!thesi) OR at iTemp = rsThesi!thesi with message Result is not available When the code stops the variable sTemp has the last value of the field. (I can see the results on the console with the line that you suggested: PRINT Record: CStr(rsThesi.Index) Result: CStr(rsThesi!thesi)) The results are the following: Record: 0 Result: 2 Record: 1 Result: 12 Record: 2 Result: 57 Record: 3 Result: 56 Record: 4 Result: 44 Record: 5 Result: 11 Record: 6 Result: 78 Record: 7 Result: 3 Record: 8 Result: 89 Record: 9 Result: 23 Record: 10 Result: 67 Record: 11 Result: 33 Record: 12 Result: 34 Record: 13 Result: 34 Record: 14 Result: 78 Record: 15 Result: 34 Record: 16 Result: 2 Record: 17 Result: 1 Record: 18 Result: 32 Record: 19 Result: 43 Record: 20 Result: 12 Record: 21 Result: 3 Record: 22 Result: 1 Record: 23 Result: 1 Record: 24 Result: 1 Record: 25 Result: 12 Record: 26 Result: 1 Record: 27 Result: 23 Record: 28 Result: 23 Record: 29 Result: 34 Record: 30 Result: 34 Record: 31 Result: 56 Record: 32 Result: 1 Record: 33 Result: 56 Record: 34 Result: 89 Record: 35 Result: 12 Record: 36 Result: 4 Record: 37 Result: 1 Record: 38 Result: 3 Record: 39 Result: 34 Record: 40 Result: 12 Record: 41 Result: 1 Record: 42 Result: 2 Record: 43 Result: 3 -- Come build with us!

Re: [Gambas-user] make Label background from Database field
Vassili, Going back and forth through the whole thread I can also see that change_bgcolor is not as efficient as it could be simply because it's doing a loop looking through all the controls trying to match the desired control's name. for change_bgcolor I would suggest this Public SUB change_bgcolor(pos as Integer) SELECT CASE pos CASE 1 Label1.Background = Color.Red CASE 2 Label2.Background = Color.Red . . . . . CASE 100 Label100.Backround = Color.Red CASE ELSE END SELECT END I know this looks tedious to code but the reason why I recommend this is that with the SELECT CASE, change_bgcolor would do 3 moves in every case instead of going through the 100 labels you have in your Camp Ground Scheduling application. As for the Result Not Available message, let's try this; replace everything from the WHILE line up to the WEND line with this 'while the record index is less than the total count of records DO WHILE rsThesi.Index rsThesi.Count 'change the background color of the label that's in a position reported in rsThesi!thesi change_bgcolor(CInt(rsThesi!thesi)) 'move to the next Record rsThesi.MoveNext() LOOP if you still get the Result Not Available error then try replacing rsThesi.Count with an integer value less than your total records for this query (For example 10) and see what you get for that. I hope this helps.

I forgot again... if speed is really important, you can cache the results from the routine, ie create an array of labels, and assign them once using either methods (select or loop). Then you use the database value as an index in the array, and obtain in just one instruction the reference for the label. About 50 times faster... Hope it is clear.

Re: [Gambas-user] Classes and Modules in Gambas Server Pages
Hey guys, I know that in gambas server pages there's #USE that allows us to use gambas components. Is there something similar to PHPs include statement to be able to use classes and modules? and when making modules and classes for server pages are there any changes we need to make or points we need to be careful of? Thanks in advance Regards, Dimitris If you need the same structure as a Gambas project, do not use gambas server pages. Do a real gambas project instead, compile it, and use it as a cgi script server. Gambas server pages were made to see if it was possible to use Gambas as a scripting language, and as HTML generator. But frankly, this is not the right thing to do if you want to do serious work. Note that it is not a problem if the size of your final Gambas CGI script is several megabytes, as the different parts of the executable are loaded only when used. I want to release Gambas 3 with ASP-like page support integrated in the IDE. But I have no time to develop it as fast as I want. Anyway, this is the way I want to develop web applications in Gambas. I don't want to do the PHP way at all! Regards, -- Benoît Minisini -- Come build with us! The BlackBerry(R) Developer Conference in SF, CA is the only developer event you need to attend this year.

Re: [Gambas-user] Missing feature?
TextBoxes and Labels have an alignment property but DataControls do not. Is that by design? Are there plans to change it? Is there a workaround to allow the alignment of a DataControl, apart from hiding the DataControls and mirroring the data in a TextBox? Not really, not really. But it should be not really difficult to add it. The idea behind DataControl is changing the actual control used according to the datatype of the field. So it just a matter of being careful that not all true controls used by DataControl support an Alignment property. If I remember, at the moment, Number are right aligned, and other data left aligned by default. You can look if the source code of DataControl if you like. I cannot guarantee you that I will find time to implement that just now! Also, while I'm asking questions, but on a separate topic... Is there any way to set the foreground and background colours of a disabled TextBox to something other than the almost unreadable colours used in the default linux colour schemes? All suggestions, other than rude suggestions, are welcome. Alas the behaviour of disabled controls mostly depends on the toolkit, the theme used, and the colours used in the control center for KDE. And if setting the background (or foreground) color of a control sets its colour both for normal and disabled mode, there will be no way for the user to see the difference between a normal and a disabled control, which is not a good thing.

Re: [Gambas-user] Using masks
Is it possible to use an image as a background of a TabStrip? Are the masks usable for that? How can I attach a mask to an object? I would like to have an example. Thanks!

Surely something like that has to be easier than trying to work out how to manage a hundred labels on a screen, and surely it will offer you much better and easier control of future UI changes, and surely it will offer a more pleasing and intuitive presentation to your user. Surely something like that has to be easier and surely much better and easier control. Yes and no I didn't ask you. True, and neither Vassilis asked you something... you can't understand him, but I can understand you. In one of your last mail you noticed that data controls don't have all the properties as other textboxes, such alignment and so on. Be prepared for other surprises. Everybody would love to have controls with lots of properties in order to do everything you want, but this is impossible (can you believe it? Once you have put 100 properties in a control, you will find someone asking for the #101). Of course, the point is, I didn't ask for the features. Did I? I asked is the limitation by design, are there plans to change it, and is there a workaround. You are very precise... so I will do too. I didn't say *you* asked for features (did I?). Nevertheless you was talking about features... Then why did you bring up my question in the first place?about it Besides, do you feel it is unreasonable for someone to want a box used to show the contents of a Field or edit it, a data-bound control intended to save programming time, to have similar functionality to a TextBox? No. Real programmers prefer to do things their way, with few versatile mechanisms. So, who do you believe might not be a real programmer? Are you expecting I say you? No. I don't know who you are, and even if I don't agree with you, I can not say you are not a real programmer. Are outright insults like that permitted on a mailing list like this one?

Re: [Gambas-user] Missing feature?
On Sun, 2009-10-18 at 17:53 +0200, Benoît Minisini wrote: TextBoxes and Labels have an alignment property but DataControls do not. Is that by design? Are there plans to change it? Is there a workaround to allow the alignment of a DataControl, apart from hiding the DataControls and mirroring the data in a TextBox? Not really, not really. But it should be not really difficult to add it. The idea behind DataControl is changing the actual control used according to the datatype of the field. So it just a matter of being careful that not all true controls used by DataControl support an Alignment property. If I remember, at the moment, Number are right aligned, and other data left aligned by default. Ok, thanks. I'll put it down as a limitation :) Is there any way to set the foreground and background colours of a disabled TextBox to something other than the almost unreadable colours used in the default linux colour schemes? All suggestions, other than rude suggestions, are welcome. Alas the behaviour of disabled controls mostly depends on the toolkit, the theme used, and the colours used in the control center for KDE. And if setting the background (or foreground) color of a control sets its colour both for normal and disabled mode, there will be no way for the user to see the difference between a normal and a disabled control, which is not a good thing. I found a perfect workaround while I was working around the limitation mentioned above. The TextArea control doesn't change the colour of text when it is disabled. Instead of using the TextBox control to replace the DataControls, which I need to align, I now use TextArea. It looks good, like it should. If TextArea isn't supposed to be like that, please don't fix it :) -- Come build with us! The BlackBerry(R) Developer Conference in SF, CA is the only developer event you need to attend this year.
