Re: [Gambas-user] Using Character constants in Gambas
I would just create a Module called something like DialogFactory... PUBLIC ErrorDialog AS Integer = 0 PUBLIC WarningDialog AS Integer = 1 PUBLIC InformationDialog AS Integer = 2 PRIVATE DefaultDialogType AS Integer = ErrorDialog PRIVATE AllowedTypes AS Integer[] = [ErrorDialog, WarningDialog, InformationDialog] PUBLIC FUNCTION getDialog(dialogType AS Integer) AS VikramDialog DIM vDialog AS NEW VikramDialog DIM type AS Integer FOR EACH type IN AllowedTypes IF type = dialogType vDialog.dialogType = dialogType RETURN vDialog END IF NEXT PRINT ERROR! Unknown dialog type: dialogType vDialog.dialogType = DefaultDialogType RETURN vDialog END Using this code simply becomes: DIM aDialog AS VikramDialog aDialog = DialogFactory.getDialog(DialogFactory.InformationDialog) PRINT aDialog.dialogType aDialog = DialogFactory.getDialog(DialogFactory.WarningDialog) PRINT aDialog.dialogType aDialog = DialogFactory.getDialog(5) PRINT aDialog.dialogType Of course, you can add other stuff to the getDialog function, like the dialog name, title etc. etc... What do you think? Regards, Caveat On Mon, 2011-03-07 at 23:09 -0800, vikram wrote: Hi, I am working on an application in which I reuse the same dialog for performing different tasks. I have a PUBLIC INTEGER variable(named dialogType) in the dialog's .class file. When creating instances of this dialog I set the DialogInstance.dialogType to the value(0,1,2,...) which indicates the purpose of the dialog. The value of DialogInstance.dialogType is used within the dialog to decide what to do with the user input. I am using numeric values to indicate the dialog type. This isn't very elegant. I am looking for the Gambas equivalent of doing a #define CHARCONST value in C. I have tried using a Collection. DIM DialogType AS NEW Collection DialogType[SomeType0] = 0 DialogType[SomeType1] = 1 DialogType[SomeType2] = 2 DialogType[SomeType3] = 3 DialogType[SomeType4] = 4 I am thinking of placing the collection's definition in a Module and then using it to replace the numeric constants: DIM DialogInstance as DialogName DialogInstance = NEW DialogName DialogInstance.dialogType = ModuleName.DialogType[SomeType0] 'current code 'DialogInstance.dialogType = 0 Is there a better way of using character constants in Gambas?

[Gambas-user] Text Boxes
When doing the following: TextLabel1.Text = i TextBox1.Text iEQU 0 I expect a string in a text box, which I get. However the length of the spacing stays the same no matter how many spaces I put between the What I'm trying to achieve is that the output string follows my coding standard. Ie if I write Callbutton in TextBox1, then the output shows iCallbutton iEQU 0 What am I doing wrong ?

Re: [Gambas-user] Using Character constants in Gambas
You're welcome :-) I was thinking if you want your module to be used by others who may have the bright idea of changing the public attributes, you should probably code using the CONST keyword...it's also clearer that these values should never be changed... PUBLIC CONST ErrorDialog AS Integer = 0 PUBLIC CONST WarningDialog AS Integer = 1 PUBLIC CONST InformationDialog AS Integer = 2 PRIVATE DefaultDialogType AS Integer = ErrorDialog ... The following code will now produce a runtime error on the 2nd line: PRINT before: DialogFactory.ErrorDialog DialogFactory.ErrorDialog = 5 PRINT after: DialogFactory.ErrorDialog Regards, Caveat On Tue, 2011-03-08 at 03:07 -0800, vikram wrote: Hi Caveat, Thanks, that is a lot simpler :) Best Regards, Vikram Nair -- What You Don't Know About Data Connectivity CAN Hurt You This paper provides an overview of data connectivity, details its effect on application quality, and explores various alternative solutions. http://p.sf.net/sfu/progress-d2d ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user -- What You Don't Know About Data Connectivity CAN Hurt You This paper provides an overview of data connectivity, details its effect on application quality, and explores various alternative solutions. http://p.sf.net/sfu/progress-d2d ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
[Gambas-user] Date picker: reading single days (Gambas 2)
Now, there is a minor thing that I came across when I tried to color days in the date picker: There can be more than 1 month, or even there will be in most cases, even 3 months is possible. Is it possible to know which days from which month are currently shown in the control? Something like an array I can iterate through to decide if this day must be coloured? Thanks for your ideas!

Kim I'm not sure what you exactly do here in your program, but your example above consists of string constants. You would have to vary the number of spaces according to the length of the strings in TextBox1.Text, such as space$(20 - string.len(TextBox1.Text)) to give just an example for UTF-8. Or did I get you completely wrong here? Regards Rolf What is happening is that white spaces does NOT change in the output textbox, no matter how many white spaces I put in between the.
