[Gambas-user] Class.Symbols - local, inherited, overridden ???? Bah!
I am trying to work out whether a .Symbol as returned by Class.Symbols (or more
correctly Classes["someclass"].["somesymbolname"]) is local, inherited or
overridden.
(Don't ask, "Why?".)
In my naive days back in Gambas 2 I had the following routine that seemed to go
a far way there:
Public Sub btnCopyOwnProps_Click()
Dim sList As New String[]
Dim symName As String
For Each symName In $currControl.Symbols
If $currControl[symName].kind = Class.Property Then
Try IsNull($currParent[symName])
If Error Then
sList.Add(MakeProp(symName))
Endif
Endif
Next
sList.Sort
Clipboard.Copy(sList.Join("\n"))
End
This was, as far as I can recall, supposed to copy the names of property
symbols declared in the subject $currControl class onto the clipboard that are
not declared in the $currControl's parent class($currParent), i.e. they are
local properties. This still appears to work for detecting whether a property
is local or inherited. However, what is driving me mad is trying to detect
whether the current class actually overrides the inherited property..
Is there any way to detect this? The IDE help browser "seems" to do so somehow,
but I think it is doing it some other way.
(If you r e a l l y want to know why, it's for a custom control code
generator. ... ... ... I didn't think so...)

[Gambas-user] IDE silent crash with Connections
It seems that if the underlying sqlite database file for a defined connection has been deleted then when you click on the IDE Connections entry for that database the IDE will silently crash. Create an sqlite datdbase. Create a connection for it in the IDE. Delete the database file. Double click on the Connections entry for it. Poof! IDE gone.

Re: [Gambas-user] A good idea? Revisited again.
Woops, I chopped off the notes.
Notes
1] This concept can also provide with minimal effort your own industry specific
virtual menu items. For example, say your system has a EditCustomer form that
you want to be able to access from mulitple other forms in your system. By
wrapping that form in a "virtual menu" project, which takes but a few minutes,
you can create a virtual custom control for the form.
2] The helpset development utility is buggy and there is a problem with
relative paths that I haven't got around yet (complex situation where the
target helpset file is in a "middle level" component, i.e. application project
uses vhelp component and another vmenu component, say a search utility which
also uses vhelp. I cannot solve how to extract the target help set file from
the middle component ...
3] alpha only
4] This is an interesting thing, I have a patch/hack for the IDE that lets us
run the custom control configuration editor. It is a fairly simple change to
FProperty.class around line 774:
--- FProperty.class(revision 6688)
+++ FProperty.class(working copy)
@@ -774,8 +774,15 @@
Case Else 'object
- hEditor = cmbProperty
- InitComboWith($hForm.FindControlFromType($sType).Sort(gb.Natural +
gb.IgnoreCase), "(" & ("None") & ")")
+ If $hObject.Unknown Then
+If Project.Sources.Exist("FEditConfig.form") Then
+ Project.Run(False, -1, "FEditConfig")
+ Return
+Endif
+ Else
+hEditor = cmbProperty
+InitComboWith($hForm.FindControlFromType($sType).Sort(gb.Natural +
gb.IgnoreCase), "(" & ("None") & ")")
+ Endif
End Select
It looks for a specifically named form in the current project and if found then
runs that form. The configuration must be self contained, i.e. in this case we
write an "options" text file into the source project directory. It cannot send
any information back to the IDE. Not entirely satisfactory but it does provide
some sort of proof that it may be possible to enhance the IDE properties editor
through external code.

Re: [Gambas-user] A good idea? Revisited again.
So far, and ignoring our own "industry specific" (see Note 1) virtual menu items, I have produced the following general popup forms as virtual menu items (custom controls): * Help|About Me : A virtual custom control that implements a "standard" popup form showing information about the current application extracted from the Gambas executable archive. * Help|System Information : A virtual custom control that implements a "standard" popup showing information about the current OS, Gambas and application environment. * Help|Browse Help : A virtual custom control that provides an application level help browser similar to the IDE help browser. This is supported by a help system development utility. However it has some limitations as explained in Note 2 below. * File|Recent : (This one I am very happy with :-) ). A completely self contained implementation of the "Recent Files" concept. *File|* : This one is a bit weird, it creates a "standard" File menu item at the top level and most (well OK "some") of the standard things one would expect in the "File" menu of a normal user application. See Note 3. *Tools|Options : (On the one hand I'm very happy with this, on the other...) A virtual custom control that implements a program options menu item under Tools and a popup form "similar" to the IDE Tools|Preferences menu item. It creates the entire popup form on the fly from a definition file (let's call it .options) within the executable archive. The "other hand" is this. I have hacked the IDE form designer code a bit and can now edit that definition file from within the IDE. That is, the virtual control component has a form that let's the programmer create/modify the definition file. The IDE hack responds to a button click on the "Options" property, shows the editor (which is somewhat similar to the Menu editor) and allows the programmer to set up the Tools|Options for the project without a single line of code. I am not really very happy with the way the hack works (Note 4) but it does appear to work. What's the point of all this? -- These custom controls provide self contained functionality that implement a menu item in a form menu by simply dragging the control from the toolbox onto the form. Little or no coding is needed in the form class to manage that functionality. For developers who support multiple projects and would like to have the same functionality, with the same appearance, shortcut key etc etc across multiple forms this approach makes implementing that "standard-ness" very easy. I would like to know whether there is any interest in this stuff. We are quite prepared to publish them on the Gambas farm if there is such interest (they are "programming tools" if you like and thus have no commercial value to us.) regards Bruce -- B Bruen -- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!

Yes, I would like to see an example of before and after as well.
I think I had a need for exactly this the other day. I wanted to split a comma
delimited list except where the comma is immediately followed by a space. Will
this change help that?

One thought, if the download part was managed using ftp rather than http then the "private" downloading could possibly be handled via the ftp server security features without much internal effort? I believe, but haven't tried it, that the ftpClient has the means to pass the necessary credentials on a Get.

Interesting but weird. The expansion macro works fine if the trigger string is
something else, e.g.
prf
Private $c${1:VariableName} as Collection
then on the other hand if it is "prc" then I get a different expansion result
from you. (It indents the line and leaves the cursor just before the P in
Private). What is even stranger is that if I change the expansion string to
something else for "prc" then I get a different result, for example
prc
Public $c${1:VariableName} as Collection
then in using the tab key everything from the "V" in VariableName is selected
But at the end-of-the-day, I'd suggest you use different trigger strings, I
have tried
vc
Private $c${1:VariableName} as Collection
vb
Private $b${1:VariableName} as Boolean
vi
Private $i${1:VariableName} as Integer
vx
Private $h${1:VariableName} as Object
vv
Private $v${1:VariableName} as Variant
and they all behave as you would expect.

[Gambas-user] Possible sqlite3 component error
The following query is a "standard" CTE based query to return the contents of a
hierarchical table (i.e. columns are id, parentid, data):
WITH RECURSIVE tmp AS (
SELECT *, 0 AS depth
FROM pages p
WHERE p.parent = 0
UNION ALL
SELECT p.*, tmp.depth + 1
FROM pages p
JOIN tmp ON (p.parent=tmp.id)
)
SELECT id, title, parent, category, indexed, htmlsrc, depth
FROM tmp
ORDER BY depth;
I use the following method in Gambas:
Private Sub LoadTOC() '' Build the
index tree
Dim rslt As Result
Dim pnode As String
Dim sQry As String = "WITH RECURSIVE tmp AS ( SELECT *, 0 AS depth FROM pages
p WHERE p.parent = 0 UNION ALL SELECT p.*, tmp.depth + 1 FROM pages p JOIN tmp
ON (p.parent=tmp.id)) SELECT id, title, parent, category, indexed, htmlsrc,
depth FROM tmp ORDER BY depth"
tvwIndex.Clear
db.Debug = True
rslt = $conn.Exec(sQry) 'Find("pages")
db.Debug = False
For Each rslt
pnode = rslt!parent
If Not pnode Then Continue
If Not rslt!indexed Then Continue
tvwIndex.Add(rslt!id, rslt!title,, IIf(pnode = 0, "", pnode))
Next
tvwIndex["1"].Expanded = True
tvwIndex["1"].Text = "Index"
tvwIndex["1"].Picture = Picture["icon:/32/book"]
Catch
Error Subst("&1\nERR: &2 (&3)\n&4\n&1\n", String$(40, "-"), Error.Text,
Error.Code, Error.Backtrace.Join("\n"))
Error db.Error
Stop
End
When this is executed it fails at the rslt=$conn.Exec line with
ERR: Query failed: SQL error or missing database (-1)
and db.Error is "1"
the $conn connection is valid and is open.
Similarly when I try to execute that query in the connection browser in the IDE
I get the same error.
However, when I run the same query in the sqlite3 cli tool it works faultlessly.
The output produced by the db.debug is:
sqlite3: 0x8551560: WITH RECURSIVE tmp AS ( SELECT *, 0 AS depth FROM pages p
WHERE p.parent = 0 UNION ALL SELECT p.*, tmp.depth + 1 FROM pages p JOIN tmp ON
(p.parent=tmp.id)) SELECT id, title, parent, category, indexed, htmlsrc, depth
FROM tmp ORDER BY d
epth
apart from the line break in the ORDER BY clause (which I dont think is the
problem) I cannot see any corruption of the query string.
I am not sure but have a suspicion that this has arisen after the recent
changes for db collations etc.
regards
Bruce

The error ypu are reciving is correct. You need to delimit the string in the
filter:
login.Filter = db.Subst("User = &1", txtLogin.Text)
otherwise your filter string will look like "User = Marty".
gb.db.Subst will wrap the Marty string in the proper delimiters for the
database being used eg for postgresql the filter would result in:
"User = $$Marty$$".

[Gambas-user] A real big enhancement request
This request is based on some of the stuff we do and also on quite a few other threads over the past while. It seems that quite a few advanced Gambas users would like/need to access files in the executable archives for various reasons. This includes Kevin, who wants to include static music files (?); ourselves, who want to access sqlite database(in read only mode, of course) and another the details I can't recall. Another example, (specifically for us) is accessing the Gambas files, for example .project and .info and etc. While accessing images and text files in the executable archive using relative pathing is quite good the above examples are a bit of a PITA involving shelling "gba -x commands" and/or pipes etc. My request, Benoît, is that you consider something that would make using files in the executable archive, both the data files and the Gambas infrastructure files a bit easier best regards Bruce -- B Bruen -- ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user

Re: [Gambas-user] A good idea?
Just an update. This works really well. Thanks Tobi for help in crystallising where I was trying to go with this. So far (I am only working on this part-time - it's a non-income earner but it will save so much time and effort in the future) I have a robust solution for fully-autonomous pop-ups (ones that are fully independent of the application project e.g. "System Information") and quasi-autonomous popups (ones that get information on the application project out of the executable archive e.g. "About Me"). Converting our existing popup components into virtual menu items now takes only a few minutes per component - add a wrapper class that inherits the VMenuItem class, set a few properties, compile and install. I am now working on the best way to handle popup forms that rely on or interact with the dynamic data in the application project. Say a general "EditClient" popup that would be made available in "OrderEntry" or "Invoice" application projects where I want to pass the current Client object to the editor popup and have the application client's object automatically update and refresh when the popup is "Saved". I have a couple of prototypes of different ways to handle this and a few more ideas. Will decide on the best way after a bit more work. Should this work (or when it works) opens up this concept to a wider approach that not only handles what I am now calling "virtual menu items" but also "virtual toolbuttons", and other virtual controls (in the above examplpe, think of a client name buttonbox that handles the entire edit processing within itself, no code needed in the application project). Another idea is to use this approach to provide entire "standard" menus by dragging a virtual control onto a form. This would include, say, File|Edit|View|Tools|Help and all the associated submenus. Just drag the VStandardMenu virtual control onto the form - no need to build these menus via the IDE each time rgrds Bruce -- B Bruen -- Meet PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance Requirements with EventLog Analyzer Achieve PCI DSS 3.0 Compliant Status with Out-of-the-box PCI DSS Reports Are you Audit-Ready for PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance?

As far as I know, under QT4, I have used that "non-existent menu" trick quite few times. I confirm (again under QT4) that a) setting the control popup-menu name to a non-existent menu kills the standard popup, unless b) I implement a MyControl_Menu method with STOP EVENT. In which case c) the standard menu appears. (even if the control has a popup menu name ???) To me there is three options: 1) status quo, if the menu does not exist, nothing happens 2) fix the STOP EVENT issue 3) make the "standard menu" visible in the IDE somehow. Of these, I'd obviously prefer 1. But presumably this would mean fixing QTx?? (But I dont care about that) 2 would require a fair bit of work on my part. 3 I dont even want to think about.

(and I thought I knew it all! ) In a component I want to refer to a path in the client project executable. To be precise in the client project I have a relative path to an image file "./img/logo.png" where that file is the project logo. In a component that is used by that client project, I want to refer to that image. But using both "./img/logo.png" and "img/logo.png" in a Picture reference returns the image in the component executable not the client project executable. The component in question is a popup form that displays the ubiquitous "About Me" info and I want to show the client project logo in it. The salient point is that I want to get at an image file in the client executable. Any clues?

[Gambas-user] A good idea?
As some will know, we use a lot of third-party (i.e. developed by us) components and libraries in our projects. Some of these are re-usable pop-up forms to provide common features across our gui apps. Things like "AboutMe" and "SysInfos" forms that we need to place in all our client applications. Each of these requires that we include the component in the project properties, create a menu item in the relevant form and an event handler for that menu item. All these handlers essentially do is create an instance of the pop-up and ShowModal it. The other day I had an idea. I created a virtual control "wrapper" class that takes care of the above by itself. All the coder need do is to place the virtual control on the relevant form in form design mode. Anyway, this seems to work! I cant see any problems and I am now looking at more complex uses of this approach. Perhaps it might be a way to implement the IDE add-ins mentioned recently? Here is a project that mocks up this approach in that it is totally self contained (i.e. doesn't use components or libraries). If you would take a look you'll see that the main form, i.e. the "client", has no code at all for managing the pop-up (but does have a handler for an event raised by the pop-up).

Re: [Gambas-user] Static Classes and Modules
Another thing just popped into mind: Consider an inheritance chain where at some level a class only defines static features (but inherits dynamic features from ancestral classes). If "only static feautures" presumed "non-instantiable class" then this would break subsequent inheritance. regards Bruce p.s. I have had a bit of a look around the web and this concept of "static" = "non-instantiable" seems to be an idea of a certain North American software company whose products are of limited appeal to the majority of Linux users :-) I might have to see if my old Bertram Meyer text book is in the attic as I am getting more and more sure that "static" means allocated at class level rather than at instance level and nothing more. -- B Bruen -- Slashdot TV.

We have a component called "GenUtil" that contains some utility functions and data that we use in lots and lots of our projects. Originally (some time back in Gambas2) it contained a class "StrUtil" that was coded as a class and thus needed instantiation in all the client projects that used it. Some time ago while modifying the library code I decided that, since the StrUtil methods were essentially static in nature and as the class had no dynamic data, I could change it to a module. Newer projects now access those methods via the module name as they should. But the older projects, that instantiate the module as an object and refer to the methods via the object name still work. I just checked and we have over 80 projects that reference that component. I have no idea how many of them use which means of referencing the StrUtil methods. So I would prefer that status quo remains. In fact I would prefer that only those classes coded as CREATE PRIVATE would exclude instantiation as even though a class bereft of dynamic data or methods today may have some dynamics tomorrow and vice versa. In short the decision that a class should prevent instantiation should be explicit i.e. via the CREATE PRIVATE command. regards Bruce -- B Bruen -- Slashdot TV. Video for Nerds.

Because h and g are different. They are pointers to the heap entries for each of those objects. Even if those objects do not have any memory allocated for dynamic variable data (and are therefore "useless" in the sense that they are empty objects not useless in the sense of "incapable of doing anything useful"). In a class Me will refer to the object address in the "dynamic" heap but in a module Me will refer to the address in the "static" heap. Similarly, anything declared as static in a class will be allocated space in the "static" heap and each of that classes objects will have reference entries for those items that point to the same addresses in the "static" heap. Anything declared in a module is assumed to be static, so your Public Sub Print() is in reality equivalent to Static Public Sub Print() and thus returns the address in the "static" heap. BTW this is slightly different to a singleton, in theory at least. According to my memory, the singleton "pattern" is used to restrict creation only one instance of a certain class. That is, there will be only one instance "allowed" in the "dynamic" heap. The intent was to provide a way to control allocation of resources for the object. For example, if the program needed a large resource hungry chunk of data, but that data was only used in certain cases of execution, then rather than "always" allocating space for it in the "global" memory area, a singleton class was used which was only instantiated when required (and presumably destroyed when no longer required). So, to my way of thinking, a Gambas module is not the same as a singleton. It will always occupy space when it is loaded, whether or not it is referenced anywhere else in the project.

A couple of theories: maybe running the project through the IDE with debug and setting a custom toolbar layout? or maybe if the executable crashes after (and not related to) setting the custom layout? But I have not found a true cause as I don't notice the toolbar change until some time later. The project is too big. I'll try to mock up something that shows it over the next week (I'll be away for a few days). Other information: 1. The toolbar contains labels, menubuttons, toolbuttons, and a buttonbox. All have actions (except the labels of course) and it is interesting that the labels are always left in the config entry after the corruption happens and I always get one actioned item included and visible in the toolbar, but it has moved to the right hand end of the Layout line (as in the example above). 2. I am fairly sure that it only happens after I have "Configure"d the toolbar while the project is running. When does the runtime write that config out, when the configure popup is closed or after the project exits? 3. The actions are named by group and default position , e.g. "taskfilter.0" etc. This does not seem to be an issue though? 4. The Configure popup "Reset" button does not correct the layout after the corruption occurs. This, I suppose after thinking this through, is the real issue. How and where does the "Reset" button get its' layout information from? I would have thought that it goes back to the .form file? B -- B Bruen -- Slashdot TV. Video for Nerds.

[Gambas-user] Using WITH on non-objects
TRY:
Often I find that I have to do multiple actions on a non-object variable, for
instance I might be working with a large string where I need to replace
multiple sub-strings, sometimes on a conditional basis. For example, suppose I
have a string S which is a pattern and contains something like "aaa bbb ccc
eee". (Note1 : this is NOT a Subst pattern string!)
Currently I need to write a lot of code like:
wkS=IIf(somecondition, Replace$(S,"aaa","Somebody"),"")
wks=IIf(someothercondition, Replace$(wkS,"bbb","something","else")
...
If instr(wkS,"ddd")>0 then Replace$(wkS,"ddd","Tuesday fortnight)
...
etc
Would it be possible to provide within gambas a "shortcut" method for such
whereby I could write
wkS=S
With wkS
IIf(somecondition, Replace$("aaa","Somebody","")
...
etc
End With
where wkS is a String variable, i.e. not an object.
It's just an idea, I was wondering if it is possible. I have written quite a
lot of sed calls to achieve the things I need to do but they are a royal PITA
to develop in the first place and an extremely royal PITA to maintain.
CATCH:
Another example might illuminate further. Again I'll talk about string
variables as they are easiest to convey the idea.
Since 3.5 I can do the following sorts of things:
Dim MyWeather As String ="Tuesday -32C"
Dim MyWeatherComment As String[] = Scan(MyWeather, "* *C")
With MyWeatherComment
.[0]=Replace( .[0], "Tuesday", "Tomorrow the maximum temp will be" )
.[1]=IIf ( Val ( .[1] ) < 19, .[1] & " Br!", .[1] & " Phew!")
etc
End With
Print MySArray.Join(" ")
which results in "Tomorrow the maximum temp will be -32 Br!"
What I would like to do is
Dim MyWeather As String = "Tuesday 1st August 2014. Exp Max:-32C Hum:2%"
Dim MyComment As String="Today the maximum temp will be &1 &2"
With Scan(MyWeather,"* *. Exp Max:*C *)[2]
Print Subst(MyComment, ., IIf( Val(.)<19,"Brrr!", "Phew")
End With
FINALLY:
In the above pretend code of mine it might be hard to see but on that Print
line I'm just using dot, (.) to represent the current With target. I don't
know how the compiler works with WITH but given the above array constructs we
now have, it looks like it expands:
WITH
.something .something .
END WITH
to:
WITH
.something .something .
END WITH
So what I am asking for is an extension such that "." (i.e. " . ") means the
current WITH target in any context, or in other words it refers to the WITH
target regardless of whether that target is an object or a native datatype. So
a lone . would refer to the WITH target itself.

I just had a power fail here and when the UPS cut in I suddenly had two copies of every task running. Not only the 8 gambas projects I had open but everything, and I mean everything ... including X. Not weird enough? One copy of Shane's project has "Stop on each error" unclicked and the other, guessing by the task id, is clicked. Both reproduced the same error. Too much weirdness! Reboot. Yep, now his project (first one opened) comes up with "Stop on each error" clicked. and fails. But as you say... unclicking it and the error goes away. Problem solved. But this really indicates a need for a strongly worded help page for that "Stop on each error" option. (I have been caught before on this too!) Suggested help may include "Don't use this - you will forget you set it!!! " best regards Bruce p.s. Why use that Try instead of If Not Exists() in that loop, in fact why not start the loop at User.Home instead of / ? -- B Bruen -- Infragistics Professional Build stunning WinForms apps today!

oops
P.S. the fail occurs in the Settings class at line 96
It can be patched if you are using the Gambas source by changing line 96 to:
If Not Exists("/" & sPath) Then MkDir "/" & sPath
but you will still get fails later when another Try... is executed in the
Settings class.

One other strange thing. You have a FMain form in the project. It doesn't appear in the project browser. Why not is a mystery to me. But I just deleted it and the project runs OK. You might like to use your file manager to delete it as well.

What I was looking at was a way to define "custom color names" that the IDE could cope with somehow. But having stepped through the IDE code and how it handles property "realValue"s I see the difficulties involved. It seems a bit of a shame actually as I think custom color names could add value to the IDE. I'm thinking color-names like ErrorBackground or ErrorForeground could be used by someone who wants to highlight all controls that failed validation on an update action on a form and things like that. Or whatever other name a developer would want to use to highlight multiple controls on a form. Nevertheless, I will work on how this could be done using our local version of the IDE in my spare time (haha!). Which means I may have to come back to you on some specific issues with the code. :-) regards Bruce -- B Bruen -- Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?

[Gambas-user] Color
I am working on a project where the colors used on the forms need to be adjusted for different ambient light situations, "low light" and "daylight". (The application is used outdoors at dawn and during the day. So at dawn we need to have a fairly dull and low contrast set of colors so the user does not have to adjust their vision between a very "bright" screen and the low light view of the racehorse in training. Alternatively, during the day we need a higher contrast set of colors so the screen is readable.) Up to now we have used two copies of the application to achieve the desired result. So I want instead to use gb.settings to hold the two color sets and load the selected set from a toggle button on the main form. I have overridden the Color class to make the gb.qt4 color names (e.g. SelectedBackground) read/write. This seems to work perfectly, but I have the following problems: 1) I'd like to define some new color names (e.g. DarkBackground) as there is just not enough standard color names to do all I need. This is not a problem with the Color override as I can define as many different names as I like. My problem is the IDE. It wont let me type a color name in the Background field on the properties panel, the only way to set a color name is via the button and the "Select a Color" popup which, of course, has never heard of my "DarkBackground" color. So, is the textbox part of the Background property control really read only or have I done something silly to our local version of the IDE? 2) I can't work out how the background/foreground colors are set when they are "default". Any clues? 3) Is there some way to change the highlight color used for the selected row in list type controls, e.g. a gridview. The standard dark color is close to our lowlight background, so the selected row is impossible to discern. Id like to use a lighter version of the selected highlight. In fact it would be nice to change the entire style of the selected row, e.g. bold,+1 font but I don't think that is possible. 4) Some controls, e.g. DirChooser, don't set the background color according to the Background property. It seems to set the background color of the bar at the top of the chooser. Is there any reason for this? tia Bruce -- B Bruen -- Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?

Guessing ...

but then wouldn't the fail occur earlier when tmp/gambas.UID/PID was created?

again wouldn't that imply an earlier failure?
So something else is awry.

[Gambas-user] More IDE wish list items
1) In the form designer context menu "Select" item controls popup list, the form itself is not listed. It would be nice to be able to use this when there is little or no space on the form to quickly get to the form itself. 2) In the form designer context menu as well as "Select All" could we also have "Select Parent" to get the container for the currently selected control. regards Bruce -- B Bruen -- Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
[Gambas-user] IDE Wish list: Stock popup to select an image for code insertion
I come up against this occasionally, so this is an "only if it's easy" wish. When working with class code and I want to insert a color value, it is very easy to do so using the "Insert Color" button on the class editor toolbar. Occasionally, again when working with the code, I want to insert a stock image. Now I realise that the auto-complete for Picture["icon:/... will provide a fairly easy way to achieve that. However, it sort of needs me to know beforehand the name of the icon that I want. So, my wish is for a class editor toolbutton (like "Insert Color") to insert the entire code (yes, I can usually manage not to remember that "icon:/ starter bit) that would popup a form like the form designer stock image selector and let me select the icon I want visually. As an example, today the icon I was looking for was Picture["icon:/22/sort-descent']. I did find it after a couple of up and down scrolls through the auto-completion listview. It did not occur to me that the name began with sort- :-( and it would have been much easier just to have that form designer stock image form showing the matrix of icons. Whatever you think. regards Bruce -- B Bruen -- Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user

Re: [Gambas-user] Sorting gridviews
Hi Tobi, I too have implemented a similar approach to yours, but it is not what I was looking for. I am trying to implement a sort over multiple columns, like "ORDER BY ColA ASC, ColC DESC, ColB ASC" in an sql query. I just cannot get it right. In fact, I have now decided that the easiest way is to create a temporary Sqllite db, fill it with the columns of the array and let it do the sorting. Not an optimal solution but at least it works for the data sets we will be using it for. regards Bruce On Wed, 25 Jun 2014 13:51:42 +0200 Tobias Boege wrote: > On Wed, 25 Jun 2014, B Bruen wrote: > > Someone, recently, was discussing sorting gridviews over multiple columns. > > Tobi? > > > > Was any progress made on this? > > > > The project was finished some time ago.

[Gambas-user] Two quick questions
1) "Run this form" seems to ignore the Margin and Spacing properties of containers within the form. They work properly when the application main form is run. Has anyone seen this - or have I done something odd? 2) Occasionally, when changing gb.form.mdi ToolBar properties, or the properties of toolbuttons therein, in the IDE suddenly when running the form containing the toolbar all the buttons are invisible - and not available in the Configure popup. Further, when I look at the config file for the project the "Layout" slot for the toolbar has disappeared. I have no idea what is causing this. Has anyone else seen it? rgrds Bruce -- B Bruen -- Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
[Gambas-user] gb.form.mdi : Attach/Detach
I am doing some experiments with detachable tabs in the gb.form.mdi component. A couple of things have come to light that I would like to suggest (as a basis for discussion, rather than a bug or whatever). 1) There is no way to completely detach a window from a workspace. That is, for example: suppose I have two workspaces on a form (or to abstract even further perhaps two workspaces on two concurrently active forms) and I want to move the current tab from this workspace to that workspace. I have proved I can do that almost successfully by, to put it at its' simplest: Workspace1.Detach(hWindow) Workspace2.Add(hWindow) but the association with Workspace1 remains and has some interesting side effects. So, it appears (to me) there is no way to completely dissociate hWindow from its' original Workspace. 2) When a window is Attached to a Workspace it is not automatically made the ActiveWindow. This may be "by design" but if I want to make the ActiveWindow in code then there does not seem to be anything like an "Attached" event in the Workspace that I can catch to effectively make this automatic Activation happen. (I have found a reasonably simple workaround for this but it is not "intuitively obvious". 3) Similar to 2) there is no "Detached" event available whereby I could set some values in the Workspace concerned or even in the detached window that would allow me to affect later processing. That's obscure. Suppose I have, as above, two workspaces and when I detach a window from one I need to know later "which workspace it was detached from", it would be nice to say set the Tag property to the name of the "original workspace". Either... 3a) Because I would like to implement a menuitem in the detached window that would allow a "Re-attach" action. 3b) Because even when the window is detached I may like to Reparent it in some other container :-) tricky eh? 4) The Detach/Attach/Reparent methods are not exactly ... how can I say it developer friendly? Suppose I want to move a window from a workspace to some other container. When the window is associated with a workspace, ReParent does not work - and silently at that. The window must first be detached and then reparented. Conversely, moving it from another container to a workspace involves a (fake) reparent, then either a Workspace.Add or, given that there is no completely detach method, a Workspace.Attach call. As I said, these things are not really bugs or complaints, rather a "Request For Comment". I have a demo project displaying some of these things which I will post if there is some interest. But, imagine an IDE wherein you could have both the form design and the form code visible at the same time in an hsplitter, or where you could have two (or more) class codes visible at the same time, or the ability to move one of the "bits" of the properties tab to the bottom "debug" panel of the IDE, or even move the toolbox into a vsplitter under the project browser instead of having it clutter the bottom of the properties sidepanel ... or even for that matter moving the properties thing into the middle pane... or or or. Get my drift? Anyone familiar with, for example, how the Modellio layouts can be manipulated in this way will understand what could be achieved here for the gambas IDE. regards and looking forward to comments Bruce -- B Bruen -- Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user

What we have is: * some text files in many of our projects that describe "how to" do something in that application - by "how to" I mean stepwise descriptions of what actions need to be done to complete a "business" level activity that is supported by the application. These activities are not capable of, say, being driven by a wizard control or similar as they involve external parties and may take hours, days, ... to complete. The text files are there to provide (and this is really the best description I can give them) an aide-mémoire for the user's to go through the entire business activity. * up till now we have used these doc files internally to reply to user queries on these things, i.e. we reply by phone, fax or email with a "these are the things that have to be done" message. What I want to do is provide a do-it-yourself solution so the users can access the aide-mémoire files themselves. So it's sort of like a gambas help browser thing I am trying to build. The aide-mémoire "pages" are fairly simple. A topic, a title and a list of the steps needed. As an example, to change the ownership of a registered racing thoroughbred, which is required by the "rules" here in Australia, the registered trainer must submit a paper or fax form of up to 20 pages length to the national registry organisation. To prepare this paperwork could take the trainer an hour or so. Our gambas application does this in a few seconds. The steps (manual) are: 1) prepare the ownership change form 2) submit the form to the registry 3) wait ... ... until the registry confirms that the change has been approved and registered, or denied, or queried ... 4) file the ownership papers appropriately. Our application takes care of 1,2 and 4. But looks more like: 1) use menu item blah to prepare and submit ownership change documents to registry * the horse owners records will be updated, but marked as "pending" 2) when the change confirmation is received, use menu item blah2 to update owner records * the pending status will be removed and emails to the (changed) owners will be sent automatically. * the new ownership schedule will be printed so you can file it appropriately. 3) if the change is denied or queried by the registry see the following how-tos: * etc And this is one of the simplest (haha) things one could imagine for the arcane and bureaucratic ways things are run here. (You dont want to see other examples.) So: I want to build a how-to form in our trainer application that (simply) has an index page and a set of dynamically generated pages (based) on some simple text files. The index page will be static with just a set of links that access the topic page. I don't need or want anything fancier than that... yet. We are doing the following: * these files are being actively converted to the gambas "markdown" syntax. Very simple, but time consuming due to the number of them (~300) * trying to figure out the best way to build the "how-to" form. This last bit is what I am asking about. I am "wishing" that there is a really easy way to achieve the goals outlined above without having to re-invent the wheel so to speak.

[Gambas-user] creating gb.qt4.webkit pages using gb.markdown etc (quick question)
OK, I've got the markdown to html bit under control and can generate the inner html for nicely for our "appinfo" text files. The next step is to generate the full html text for an entire web page, including the section with a css reference and applying some "class" attributes to parts of the html text. Looking through the IDE code that makes the various help texts it looks like this is being done "manually" with a lot of literal strings being used? My goal is to build a gb.qt4.webkit based project (component) that will display web pages with information about our applications from some text files we include in .hidden in the source project. (I can get these files out of the executable archive OK). Sort of like the IDE help but a bit different. My question is what is the best way for me to go next? a) follow the IDE "hammer and chisel" method b) look at the new wiki code, or c) is there something blatantly obvious that I am not seeing here? tia Bruce -- B Bruen -- Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user

The pkg-config files for other libraries are what causes the problem. I can't say that I really understand what actually happens, but what I THINK is your gb.xyz configure (as built by the auto... tools) attempts to check via pkg-config for the direct requirements of your gb.xyz library and then cascades through each of the required libraries specified in that library's .pc (???) file and checks for them etc etc. But just because gb.xyz needs libabc (which resolves to libabc.so.1.2.3 or whatever, which is nicely installled and dynamically linkable) then in the libabc.pc file it says they require libOzarquon - which you dont have. So the build fails! Also I THINK that the error gets "incorrectly" reported as can't find libabc.so which is actually there. If you delete the libabc.pc file from your system, the cascasing checks don't get invoked. This gb.xyz builds properly ( and links to libabc properly as well). So I suspect that somewhere on your system, there is a .pc file that thinks it requires some libXfordprefect library or something. Now - how the toolchain works is dependant on your distro. So you need to find any help on this (known) pkg-config issue specific for your distro and go from there. I believe the pkg-config spec files are generally suffixed ".pc" and tend to live in /lib/pkg-config but again this maybe distro specific. Here, I deleted all the .pc files and magically could make the non-gambas app successfully. When I next maked the gambas3 development version about n-thousand warnings disappeared and the overall build took about half the time (and the gb.sdl components all suddenly worked, which I could never get to happen before). > so i must parse all linker and includes manually, how i can do that? i > cannot see in configure script before run autopoint That's my point, you would have to inspect all the .pc files for the entire dependency tree specified therein to find the anomaly (or anomalies!). Manually. i.e. not a good idea. If deleting these files scares you (as it did me the first time) then just backup the pkg-config dir somewhere as they (the .pc files) are actually just text files containing the specifications to "help" the dynamic linker. Then delete all those files (leaving the /lib/pkg-config dir "almost" empty). Then try the gambas build again. If the result is still failure then just copy all those .pc files back in and look elsewhere for the problem. hth Bruce > > Lenz McKAY Gerardo (PICCORO) > http://qgqlochekone.blogspot.com > p.s. Oh and googling for "What are .pc files" is a BAD idea. You will get a LOT of disinformation.

So we have a main form class that creates up to 15 or so instances of a "feed watcher" class, each looking at one specific thread. We have certain handlers in the main class that respond to events raised in the feed-watcher class. Once the feed-watcher object is fully instantiated these event handlers work fine and the set of feeds is managed fine. However, some of these events can occur during the feed-watcher constructor execution. Since we already have the code to handle them in the main form, I was hoping to not have to create special error conditions etc sent back from the feed-watcher._new method, but just to raise the relevant during the constructor. The feeds are from a url like "www.xyz.com/auctions/lots.aspx?year=2014&month=6&day=26&lot=113#1". Where 113 is one of a set of lot numbers we are interested in. These feed-watchers set up the download structure, get the initial xml result and parse it (read on), then wake up on a timer basis and re-request the same url, get the result (its an XML document), parse it and depending on some changes to the parsed information, raise events that signal to the main form that something has to be done, for example, the bidding on that lot has started, finished, etc . As it's an internet based feed, there are some other things that can also happen that we need to handle - download errors, loss of connection etc. Further, depending on the auction house concerned, setting up the download structure and getting the initial packet is complex. So we have a set of these feed-watcher classes specialised to handle that initial work. The problem is that some of the conditions that result in the raising of these events can also happen during the construction of the feed-watcher object, e.g. loss of connection, but also some of the information based events, e.g the requested lot has been "cancelled" etc. As I said, once the feed is established,everything works fine. It's just that initial phase. The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that it cannot work the way we have designed and written it. And we will have to split the initial phase into a constructor and an "Initialise" method. So never mind.

[Gambas-user] modifying an enumerated set during the loop
I realise that modifying the enumerated set during a For Each loop is fraught with danger but I do have a situation where this is "necessary". The following is a very simplified mock up of an anomaly in gambas that I am seeing. The real situation is complex, I'll explain it later in this post. The following code shows several variants of changing the enumerated set during the loop. (I could have also attached a source archive, but its probably quicker to just paste this in a new project main module.) The simulation is simply a "rocket launch count-down" . Public Sub Main() Dim aTest As String[] Dim sItem As String ' Run 1: Simple enumeration (obviously works) aTest = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10"] aTest.Reverse For Each sItem In aTest Print sItem Next Print "Blast off" ' Run 2: Nullify the whole array during the enumeration (continues as if enumeration is working on a copy) aTest = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10"] Debug aTest aTest.Reverse Debug aTest ' prove that this is not duping the`array For Each sItem In aTest Debug aTest Print sItem If sitem = "8" Then aTest = Null ' but the enumeration continues??? Next Print "Blast off" Print aTest = Null ' Delete (all) elements within the enumeration aTest = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10"] aTest.Reverse For Each sItem In aTest Print sItem If sitem = "8" Then aTest.Delete(0, aTest.Count) ' leaves a non-null but empty array, the loop exits once this has been executed Endif Next Print "Blast off" End Run 1 is just a simple enumeration, no changes are made to the set during the loop (sanity check !). In Run 2, when the count gets to 8 we nullify the entire array. However, the enumeration loop still continues and includes all the elements from the original array??? In Run 3, when the count gets to 8 we delete the entire array. Now the enumeration stops at that point. This is what I would expect in Run 2??? In our real situation, we receive a bunch of xml "packets" (a packet being a complete xml document) that are queued for processing in such an array. Quite often, the list of packets to be processed includes duplicate, or earlier, versions of some information relevant to a specific entity identified within the packet. So once we have processed the latest version, hence the array reversal, all packets containing earlier information regarding that entity are irrelevant. In the real code we don't actually delete or nullify the queue array, but use a separate routine to remove the elements in the array that are no longer relevant, sometimes this will empty the reversed array entirely (or at least the rest of it). Now, as the Run 3 example works as I expect, i.e. the loop is "truncated", generally everything is fine. But, there are uncommon, but not infrequent, situations where the entire array can be nullified, this is what scares me as the code that handles this entire mess is spread out over multiple tasks and such like. So, shouldn't the Run 2 loop truncate like Run 3? regards Bruce -- B Bruen -- Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
[Gambas-user] constructor events
(I don't know whether I have already asked this.) Is it possible to raise events in a class constructor and trap them in an observing class? Looking at it, I don't think the object exists yet and so the answer appears to be no (and my experiments seem to bear this out) but I am asking anyway in case there is something I'm missing. tia Bruce -- B Bruen -- Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
[Gambas-user] markdown to html?
@Benoît Hi, could you tell me where (exactly) in the IDE code you convert markdown text to html please. I would like to use that code for my own nefarious purposes :-) tia Bruce -- B Bruen -- Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
