Re: [Gambas-user] Form problem with Gambas v2.16
Benoit, I think this is not really difficult to create five different forms but I don't want to rewrite all my code after doing this transformation. To be more clear, can I take each code of each TabStrip and put it in a new form or did I need to rewrite the code on each new form about button, panel, label, etc ... ? If I copy/paste all objects form the TabStrip (Tab1) to a new form, are all these objects will keep with the same name to bo coherent to the code associate ? Now, the last question... I don't know how to embed them in the TabStrip at runtime ... Can you explain me please ? Thank you in advance..

This limit cannot be changed in Gambas 2, because of the bytecode. But you can solve that problem by not putting everything in the same class. You have a TabStrip with five tabs.

[QUOTE] You make each window a child of the tabstrip that it ought to be on. IMNSHO, it's a bad idea because if you need to have one control on a tab reach into another control on another tab and find out what's happening, you can't, unless you set up lots of form properties. To try and solve your problem, split your constants into two classes so that, say, all the strings are in one class and all the integers etc in another. -- Come build with us!
