Re: [Gambas-user] serial port

2009-12-09 Thread yuhej

Hello,

I'm very happy with the serial port communication, just I have some more
question.

When I start the application, I don't know what ports will be used and how
many.
So I have an object array where I add new serial ports depending on the
hardware configuration.

From this object array, I'm able to send and receive data. I just don't know
how to access to the serial port events (read). Can someone help me in this
matter?

Thanks,
Robi

 In my Linux serial port experience, serial port devices are named:

 /dev/ttyS0..9 and upwards
 /dev/ttyUSB0..9 and upwards depending on what is plugged in USB.

 I have done a lot of serial port stuff with Gambas.

 I know that trying to open then with the serial port control
 will fail is non-exising port. This error can be detected.

 It can be possible to open a port as a test to see if it exists, but you
 may be changing parameters and stealing chars from an existing
 connection.
 I've had this happen tooreally messes things up.

 Subject: [Gambas-user]  serial port

  Hello,
 
  I can see that Gambas can handle the serial ports which is a very good
 news
  for me.
  Can someone tell me how can I get the list of the serial ports of my
  computer? I wish to make an autodetect function and only allow to
 select
  from the working serial ports.

 Would it be useful to make a property for that? Or maybe it does already 
 exist 
 in the SerialPort class, and I didn't see it.
 

Nothing strange really. Its been like that as long as I can remember.
It is not possible to tranfer binary data correctly without setting the
icrnl and ocrnl flags off.

Its been a long time since I was near C, but I'm fairly sure they are
included in termios.h, and are the c_iflag and c_oflag.

Re: [Gambas-user] Buttons again not working

2009/12/10 Kadaitcha Man nospam.nospam.nos...@gmail.com:

 Look at the attached code, and take note of the form design.

Scratch that. You may have found a bug, either inadvertently or advertantly ;-

With MyTextBox declared as public, xMyTextBox_Change isn't firing:

MyTextBox = NEW TextBox(HBox1) AS xMyTextBox

I'll start to research it in about 14-16hrs time. In the meantime,
hope for a better response.

Re: [Gambas-user] Buttons again not working

2009-12-09 Thread Benoît Minisini
 I don't understand why is the handling of dynamically created forms so
 complicated!
 I've barely managed to shut a modal dialog, I'm encountering a new problem:
 
 when I invoke the procedure Messenger:
 
 PUBLIC SUB Messenger(tekst AS String, slika AS String)
 DIM imge AS PictureBox
 DIM conti AS TextLabel
 DIM butty AS Button
 DIM i AS Integer
 keret = NEW Form
 keret.Width = 500
 keret.Height = 300
 keret.Border = FALSE
 imge = NEW PictureBox(keret)
 imge.x = 10
 imge.y = 10
 imge.Width = 280
 imge.Height = 280
 imge.Border = TRUE
 imge.Picture = Picture[slika]
 conti = NEW TextLabel(keret)
 conti.x = 300
 conti.y = 20
 conti.Width = 190
 conti.Height = 230
 conti.Text = tekst
 butty = NEW Button(keret)
 butty.x = 340
 butty.y = 250
 butty.Width = 120
 butty.Height = 25
 butty.Text = OK
 keret.Center
 Object.Attach(butty, ME, Ops)

You should write:
  butty = NEW Button(keret) AS Ops
to have the same effect.

You should use the Move() method instead of setting the X, Y, Width and Height 
properties individually.

 keret.ShowModal()
 END
 
 PUBLIC SUB Ops_Click()
 keret.Close()
 END
 
 from within the
 PUBLIC SUB _new()
 ...
 Messenger(blabla.txt,blabla.jpg)
 ...
 END
 
 procedure,
 
 I cannot communicate with the button butty. 

What do you mean exactly by communicate? Can you provide the full source 
code in a project, we will better understand what you want to do.

Beware that an object is locked during its _new() so it cannot receive events.

I mean, the procedure Ops_Click() is simply never invoked. A window shows
up, with an image, a text and a button - butty. I intend to to use this
button for closing the window. The first occurance of the subroutine

Re: [Gambas-user] Buttons again not working

2009-12-09 Thread Benoît Minisini
 So how to stop the rest of the process, while the Messenger( , ) is being
 executed? I've tried to experimenting with WAIT, but no help.
 This is the most annoying thing in Gambas. You never know exactly what to
  do in order to make things work. Is there a possibility, to make the
  process handling unified? ( What's the difference between Object.Attach
  (something, parent, function name) and your proposal ?)
 Anyway, butty = NEW Button(keret) AS Ops doesn't work.

Please again provide an archive of your full project, otherwise I can't help 
you. I have downloaded your source from sourceforge, but I didn't see anything 
related to your problem.

If the source project is greater then 256K, it won't go on the mailing-list. 
So send it me directly.

[Gambas-user] qt4 slowness of drawing complex screens

2009-12-09 Thread richard terry
I've noticed qt4 is much slower rendering the controls than qt3 and wondered 
if it is possible to 'hide' this process till the rendering is complete.

Users with small numbers of controls on a form probably wouldn't notice this.

Qt 4 is a lot slower in drawing widgets than Qt 3. Not as slow as GTK+, but 
this is noticeable in the IDE.

The really slow thing is splitters and SidePanel control. Do you use them? If 
not, I can't tell you more without having more details.

[Gambas-user] qt4 Font question

2009-12-09 Thread richard terry
more questions about qt4.

Font sizes seem different to qt3, this may be KDE and nothing to do with qt4, 
but dosn't happen like this in qt3.

When I use a font dialog Arial size 9 is too small for my app. If I go to 10, 
then it is too large. 

Under QT3 this dosn't seem to be the same. I enclose a picture - same 
font/point size the first is from the font dialog in qt3 and the second in qt4

The difference seems only to be 1 pixel but this seems to have a big effect on 
the overall screen - at 9 hard to read, at 10 looks too large.

regards

Richard
