Re: [Gambas-user] packaging
Superb, thanks in advance! The packed project is attached in a previous mail of this thread (dated 30 of October). Can you catch it or should I resend? The source is normally included in the package. Starting from the Gambas IDE it should work. If installed and started (will appear on the others category) then i should show the error message immediately as for the login I use mysql. The bad message is not that the database doesn't exists (it's normal for the first connection) but that the driver doesn't exists. If it can launch and requires login and password, the first time it works with administrator and rendszergazda. It created it's database after in the administrator sheet. If you meet the same troube as I do then you'll have problem even to use Gambas with mysql (same message: no driver for mysql). When removing the application with the Janitor and also the dependencies proposed by the Janitor then everything becomes normal with Gambas.

[Gambas-user] 2 forms closing at the same time. Is it a bug?
Hi, I'm not sure whether this is a bug or it's me doing something wrong... When I want to show two (or more) Forms from a module set as Startup class in its main function, whenever a ME.close is called within one of the forms, the other(s) one gets closed too. To me this isn't the expected behavior... Just one of them should get closed (the ME part is what made me expect it). I attach a simple project to illustrate my point, but basically it's as follows: 1st.- Module1 ( as startup class) PUBLIC FUNCTION Main() Form1.Show FMain.Show END 2nd.- In Form1 ME.Close is executed 3th.- The FMain form gets closed too and the application finishes. Instead I would expect Fmain not being closed and the application left running until Fmain gets closed by its own means.

Jean-Yves F. Barbier ha scritto: Hi, Is it possible to recover any kind of widget's value only from its tag (as far as tags are all numerics 0,1,2...) from into a loop? I am not sure about what you want... anyway... It seems to me that the TAG property is a variant, so you can assign any kind of value to it (at least in code); using the GUI designer seems to let you only use strings. When you later access the TAG property, its value will retain the type of data you assigned to it. For example, I just tried this: PUBLIC SUB Form_Open() TextArea1.Tag = listview1 TextBox1.Text = TextArea1.Tag.name TextBox1.Text = TextArea1.Tag END The first line shows that you can assign an arbitrary object to the TAG field. The second line shows that you can read what is stored in TAG; having you stored a ListView, then you can read its Name property, The text of TextBox1 now gets assigned to the string Listview1. The third line fires an error, but only at runtime; during compilation gambas can not know what the content of Textarea1.Tag is, so it can not decide if this content is compatible to a string (to be stored in TextBox1.text). At runtime, instead, gambas reads the content of TextArea1.tag and it finds it is an object: the object ListView1; now, it can not assign an object to a string, so it rises an errore (expected string, got ListView instead...). About recover any kind [...] from into a loop, I don't understand. Perhaps you want to scan all the controls residing on a form - there is the Controls[] property for that. Or you want to stream out all the properties of an object, perhaps to a file? This is possible too, I think - look at the Object class (or the Class class, can't remember), which has method to inspect... objects. Regards, -- Doriano Blengino Listen twice before you speak.
