If you want to make a program and it must be visible in a graphical way, how should it been shown?. QT/KDE is uded for the IDE so that one must be drag in. QT as toolkit and for KDE the basic libs at least. Gambas is simple a Basic language to interact with the box. People use it as replacement for the bash/python/perl/awk scripts and C/Java/Pascal/Delphi program languages. Both can make shell and graphical programs. If you do not want KDE/Gnome drag in then you can program your files with VI/VIM/Emacs/nano/joe as you like and manage on your own the files and structure of them.

[Gambas-user] Licensing problems in Gambas
Hi, There are two licensing problems in Gambas that must be solved. 1) The first one should not be difficult: we must find a license for the gambas wiki documentation that makes it free. I need suggestions... 2) The bad problem: gb.db.firebird uses two sources files from www.ibpp.org whose license (the Borland Interbase Public License) is not compatible with the GPL. This point was raised by Kelly Hopkins, the maintainer of the gnu.org free software directory. I'm afraid Gambas will have to lose firebird support, but maybe we should ask www.ibpp.org about that.

Re: [Gambas-user] Exist says OK, but the File.Load fails
Salut, this is my code (I added the line numbers) Exist says OK but the File.Load fails with : File or directory does not exist args[0] = Reports/US-presidents-3.xml is a relative path If I use the Fullpath it works. AND: this only happens if the code is used in a component ! In the project-code it works. 807 IF Exist(args[0]) THEN 808 809sString = File.Load(args[0]) This I get if I run it : args[0] = Reports/US-presidents-3.xml CLogic.FromXML.809: #45: File or directory does not exist A relative path is resolved inside the project. So if you use your project as a component, the file must be inside the component, otherwise it won't work. If you want a component to access a file located inside the project that uses this component, there is a trick: starting the relative path with ../. But Exist() should be coherent with File.Load(), so can you send me the code, so that I have a clear view of what you do?

Re: [Gambas-user] XML-RPC component bug?
Hi, I'm having problems with the XML-RPC component. The same piece of code (and actually the compiled program too) works fine in one computer an gives an error in another. System where it works: Ubuntu 9.10 32bits System where it fails: Ubuntu 8.10 64bits Both systems have the same Gambas version: Gambas 2.17 (revision 2415) With exactly the same XML, the RpcStruct that the RpcClient.Call method returns is alright in one of the systems but in the other, all its dataType are incorretly set to xStruct, and so I always get Type mismatch: wanted XXX got RpcStruct instead when trying to use the Value property. Is it a bug in the component? Does the component relay on a system package that is broken in one of my two systems? If so, which one? Thanks! Toni P.S. Maybe it's already doable, but I think that it would be really nice if there was the possibility of stepping into the Gambas components code while debugging an application. Hi, I tried your project on my Mandriva 2010.0 32 bits and on my Ubuntu 9.10 64 bits, and I don't have any error. I use the latest revision, but it should not make any difference with revision 2415.

Re: [Gambas-user] Licensing problems in Gambas
I would go for the GNU Free Documentation License (GNU FDL http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html) Creative commons (CC) isn't a bad choice either and it's quite popular nowadays. But it has 2 issues, the first one is that it isn't exactly the same in every country, and the second is that when choosing a CC license, you have to take a combination of the four major conditions: - Attribution (BY): if selected the use of materials will have to contain attribution to the original author. - Share Alike (SA): if selected derivative works will have to be released under the same or a similar license (later or jurisdiction version). - Non-Commercial (NC): if selected no commercial work can be done with the material. - No Derivative Works (ND): if selected no Derivative works of the material are allowed. If NC or NC are choosen then the resulting Creative commons license can't be considered a free license. Further I think that some people won't consider as a valid free license a Creative commons with condition of Attribution (BY).

Now I think all wiki users should tell if he agrees with the license. Or maybe should we fix a date in the future, and if nobody explicitely disagrees until that date, we apply the license. Because I'm not sure that all wiki users do modify it. I guess the next question is whether everyone who's contributed to the wiki will go for whichever license you pick; I'm certainly okay with the GFDL or CC-BY-SA, but I have no idea how other people would feel. I thought I had some text in the old Wiki on the editor page that required the user to submit their entries under some free license, but that page wasn't included in the static dumps for obvious reasons and I can't find the old tarballs of our TWiki installation that I made after the spammers attacked. At any rate, I don't see anything like that in the current Wiki's editor. 2) The bad problem: gb.db.firebird uses two sources files from www.ibpp.org whose license (the Borland Interbase Public License) is not compatible with the GPL. This point was raised by Kelly Hopkins, the maintainer of the gnu.org free software directory. I'm afraid Gambas will have to lose firebird support, but maybe we should ask www.ibpp.org about that. I need help there too! Who wrote gb.db.firebird? Maybe they could maintain it as a separate package, though I guess whichever Gambas headers they built against would have to be relicensed as LGPL in that case. I didn't know anyone used firebird anymore. Daniel Vostanikian wrote it, Laurent Carlier and I did some little changes. But personnally I don't want to manage a non GPL package, I don't use firebird at all, and I don't have time. So firebird users are welcome to deal with that problem!

Re: [Gambas-user] File select broken ?
I have just realized that my old code does not work any more in selecting .jpg files. Now I am using Gambas 2.17 but I do not know which release made it wrong. Selecting the directory with my .jpg files it appears empty. I have to select All Graphics .* to see them and then the selection works. Here is a segment of the code.

Re: [Gambas-user] qte disabled
Hello everybody on the list and congrats to the developers of this excellent package. I have downloaded and compiled successfully 2.17 and today 2.18 of Gambas. I have installed all the necessary packages for my system kubuntu 9.10 with KDE 4.3.3 but at the end of configure I am getting the message gb.gte disabled. This happened at both versions. Is there an extra library for this that I have to download? Also, if qte is disabled how come I can select the corresponding box at my project's preferences?

Now, with Qt4, this library is deprecated, and gb.qte was removed from Gambas 3. So, just don't care!

[Gambas-user] Changing the key value in a collection
I have a situation where the key for an item in a collection is an editable value in the collection item. Obviously, when that value changes, I need to update the collection and change the key. However, when I do this the item is in a new position in the collection. This is a problem because the collection is sorted via a different item field. I can handle the sort when the collection is built from the database, but is there any way to get the collection back into the correct order when the key value changes? I don't want to persist the changes at the point where the user changes one item. The goal is to have them work with the set of items, make adjustments to one or more and then persist their changes under their control when they are happy with the overall set. Alternatively, is there a way to sort a gridview? (This is the real problem I suppose, as when the key value or any other value in the item changes, I reload the gridview by iterating the collection.) tia bruce -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Changing-the-key-value-in-a-collection-tp26422299p26422299.html Sent from the gambas-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
