[Gambas-user] Removing / Modifying IsXXXX() functions in Gambas 3
Hi, I'm currently thinking about modifying/removing all Is() functions in Gambas 3. They mainly test the datatype of their expression. So, either the datatype is known at compile time, and there should be no need of testing it ; either you are using a Variant, and you can use TypeOf() to get the datatype of the value. I will replace them by some functions that will test if a value can be converted safely from a string by using localization. This is what most users expected from these functions. For exemple, in french localization: IsDate(13/2/20) - True IsNumber(3,34) - True IsInteger(3,34) - False IsNumber(3.34) - False Internally, they will use Val() and see if the conversion works. I will kept most of the name, so there will be a big incompatibility between Gambas 2, current Gambas 3, and final Gambas 3. What do you think about that?

[Gambas-user] Print html direct?
Hi, I'm still experimenting with printing, the scale method was a good hint for me. But now a other question: Can I direct print html?

In this case I want to improve the print of an invoicment, so I need a head, tables blocks,... on idea is to generate the html code with css and open it with the system browser, other is to print html direct from gambas?

So IsObject() cannot determine the reference to object but to a NULL reference. i was just thinking if there is a way the IsObject() can be more accurate if something is NULL object or anything else.

Not really useful, except with variants. I therefore do not use it. However I believe new versions of software should be backward compatible so I suggest giving the new functions a slightly different name. EG: IsNumeric. Regards Mike I think I can be not backward compatible there, because nobody apparently uses this useless function. I don't want to keep these useless functions in the interpreter.

Re: [Gambas-user] Result object, again
2010/11/25 Benoît Minisini gam...@users.sourceforge.net: good evening all, i have another question about my eternal punishment: the result object :-) caveat answered to a former question about results in general: If you got into the habit of reading all the records you've selected into memory (or even if the Result object worked that way behind the scenes...), you'd soon find everything breaking with Out Of Memory errors as soon as you start doing anything serious. my question now is, how the result works behind the scenes, is there a counter (result.index?) that tells a layer (the driver?) which record is to be given back? regards, tobi A result object stores the entire query of the result in memory, because of the stupidity of most SQL backends. Postgresql definately supports cursors (being able to retrieve rows in groups and not hold them all in memory) Ian -- Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App Earn a Chance To Win $500!

Re: [Gambas-user] Displaying Mouse.Wait while running a SHELL Command
Setting FMain.Mouse and calling WAIT is useless. Application.Busy should already set the busy cursor for every widget in the application. Otherwise this is a bug. Application.Busy alone is not showing a busy pointer on Debian Squeeze, with Gambas 2.21. Regards, Vikram -- Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App Earn a Chance To Win $500!

Re: [Gambas-user] Displaying Mouse.Wait while running a SHELL Command
I use INC Application.Busy and DEC Application.Busy in my applications on Debian Lenny (with LXDE) and Gambas 2.21 and it works just fine.
