Re: [Gambas-user] A couple of questions about building web / cgi applications
Caveat, Thanks for the info. I'm a little concerned about using a disk based database because the disk is flash, which has a limited number of write cycles. Even with wear-leveling, I would eventually kill parts of the flash. I don't want these things dropping dead in the field after a year or so... I was considering something like named pipes, but I'm a little unclear about how Linux actually handles them. I thought I saw a mention that they are managed via temporary files within the file system, and that would defeat the whole idea of not writing to disk. I know how to do interprocess communication in Windows, but not in Linux with Gambas.

You may also want to look at in-memory databases, if you don't need the sensor data to be persistent. H2: http://www.h2database.com/html/main.html and JavaDB: http://docs.oracle.com/javadb/10.8.3.0/getstart/index.html might be worth a look. You could always use a regular database for the less volatile data, like user settings etc. and I imagine the inter-process communication would be easier to set up using a normal disk-based database. The architecture is sound, I use a raspberry pi in a similar way to control my central heating. There's a python script running all the time checking for interrupts so you can hit a button on the pi (PiFace board added) to, for example, force the heating on. The python script reads from the MySQL db to see what temperature it should be aiming for, and reads a usb thermometer to see what the temperature actually is. There's a web interface written in php with big friendly buttons to force the heating on or off, and a nice display of the current temperature and the target temperature, and an indication of the state of the heating (on or off). Inter-process communication is all done via the heating database in MySQL (with tx-isolation as above!). Sorry, kind of realised at the end this is a little off-topic for most of the Gambas list, what if I promise to rewrite my web-interface in Gambas CGI? :-) Kind regards, Caveat On 13/02/15 09:42, Rolf-Werner Eilert wrote: Am 12.02.2015 19:09, schrieb Bruce Cunningham: I'm looking for some advice and maybe some code examples for a project I'm starting.

Re: [Gambas-user] A couple of questions about building web / cgi applications
Benoît, What I mean by main application is a GUI application that is always running, reading sensor data, controlling relays and updating the graphical user interface. It needs to be as close to real-time as I can get. By CGI module, I mean a CGI script that is invoked by web requests coming in to the web server, which would be a transient process. It takes some parameters from the web request, reads or updates data from the main application, sends back an html response, and then terminates. I want them as separate processes so that if someone tries to DDOS the web interface, they (hopefully) won't kill the main application that needs to control stuff. I was hoping someone had an example of a CGI application they would be willing to share?

From your logfile the punchline is
configure: WARNING: Unable to met pkg-config requirement: QtWebKit = 4.5.0
configure: WARNING: gb.qt4.webkit is disabled
which means you don't have the right development package installed, it's called
libwebkit-dev on debian-based distros, dunno about the others.
If you are on a debian-based system, try upgrading to the latest testing and
then install gambas directly ('apt-get install gambas3), this *should* work
as there will be pre-compiled ARM binaries for gambas in the Debian repos.

[Gambas-user] Compiling Gambas on an Allwinner A10 based system
Hello all, I've been trying to compile Gambas on a development board that uses the Allwinner A10 SOC. I know there is a build for the Raspberry PI, so it should be doable. I think I'm very close, but I'm getting some errors, and it will not install. The errors are related to OpenGL and WebKit. I don't need either of these components for what I'm working on. I didn't build the Linux OS on this board, and frankly my Linux skills are not that great yet (I'm learning quickly). I've been a Windows admin and developer for 15+ years, and I'm coming to Linux from a Windows/VB6 background. I really want to get away from anything Microsoft these days. But, I have a project I want to build for an embedded device, and Linux/Gambas seems like a fantastic platform for me. I would like to thank everyone that worked on building Gambas. I gives us old time VB6 guys a way to move to Linux and be productive right away. I'm attaching the log from the config/make/make install process. Thanks in advance.

Nice idea but this ranks among workaround because of two reasons: 1) it's a ColumnView, not a ListView; we want to operate with ListView only; 2) we want to use the ListView properties and methods (if at all possible) to do the move, not repopulate the ListView with changed data (we have a purely theoretical goal here). I should have said that... Regards, Tobi (I should have read between the lines!) It was a quick reply and as you said based on the ColumnView. The purely theoretical goal we have here is to ultimately produce a set of data aware controls similar but very different to the gb.report ideas. Hence the internal array, but very early days yet. It was a custom control I threw together in a few hours to solve a problem we have here of the user managing a small list of items where re-ordering them is a priority. For example, we have a set of sql jobs that must be run every day with some user interaction to select a subset of those jobs, run them and maybe change the order and re-run them depending on some outcomes of the queries. There are currently 66 of these jobs and some are frequently added or removed as the auction houses change their d*d advertising formats. Anyway I believe I recall that I tried that listview reordering idea some time ago but was never really satisfied with the results. I have found that code and it is a mess and uses a data collection to manage the ordering (and it doesn't work). I think that from looking at it you would need to Remove the item you are moving and re-Add it after the next (or previous.previous) item somehow. Anyway doesn't matter.

[Gambas-user] ComboBox: Detect if the button was clicked
I have tried a couple of ways to determine if the user has clicked on the button that opens the list in a combobox with no great success. (I am trying to discern whether they selected a list item or typed a new string in the textbox.) It looks like I have to use the Mouse.X and Mouse.Y values to see if they are inside the button, but this is extrememly fragile and painful.

Re: [Gambas-user] Accessing Project Data in a Text File

Adams, Jr. wrote: Are you talking about your project at design time in the IDE or when your project runs, i.e. do you want to look at the file or does your program need it at run time? I guess the second but it's not clear to me... I added my data file (a text file) to the Data section of the project during design time because that's what I thought the Data section was for. What is the purpose of associating a data file containing numerical information with a project by putting it on the list? It sounds like I must access the data in exactly the same way whether or not the file is listed, by processing the file resident in the filing system. So why don't I just leave it out of the project? What's the point of listing it? Why list anything in the Data section of a GAMBAS project? Is the only purpose to make sure listed files are included in a source archive or an installation package for the project? By adding a tab in the IDE with the data parsed and displayed, it looks like it has the same status as the form and class tabs (that is, it contains information resident in the project). But I guess not. The files in the Data section are included in the gambas executable archive. When you build that via Project|Make|Executable it includes those files in the compressed project.gambas file. They are accessed as normal files BUT they are referred to using relative paths. This is explained in the Language Index of the help or on the wiki at http://gambasdoc.org/help/cat/path?v3help There are a miriad of uses for this technique, project images for buttons, static data referred to by the program etc etc. It is NOT for your program's volatile data! In fact, you cannot write to one of these files from within the program (but you can from the IDE.) One other wiki page may help you: http://gambasdoc.org/help/doc/project_structure?v3 I'm a GAMBAS beginner, so please be patient with my questions. I'm still learning. I can't find an answer to this question in documentation or books that I've checked.

[Gambas-user] Stopping an event when user clicks on the form menu
I have a form with a textbox that MUST be filled in before moving on to the next control or any other control within the form. Fine, so I implement a txtManditory_LostFocus method that just checks that there is some text in there. My problems are: 1) if the entire form loses focus, the lostfocus event fires. 2) if the user tries to click on the form menu the lost focus event fires. I think I have got around 1) by using Object.Lock in a Form_Leave() handler, but 2) has got me stumped. Any clues? tia Bruce -- CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.

[Gambas-user] A few things about linked source files
I have not raised these as bugs because I don't believe anyone else would be mad enough to use linked source files as much as I have in the prototype I built recently to win our new project. I also believe there are more important things for the core developer(s) to concentrate on. So it's just a heads up list of quirks for later on when linked sources become more important. (For the sake of brevity, project A has the real file (say a form) and project B has the link.) 1) When the linked form is opened in B the form designer shows a short form of its toolbar, OK but the locked button state is false. This has effects lower down this list. It should be true. This also means there an inconsistent metaphor on the tabs for the form and the class. With the class the [read-only] tag is visible, with the class it isn't. But see 4) below. 2) (Trivial) If you inadvertently make the form the start-up class for B (Alt+s or a nervous twitch on the mouse) then B correctly starts the form on an F5. OK. But after getting over the initial heart attack it is very difficult to see the triangular start-up indicator in the project browser panel as it is almost totally obscured by the linked file adornment on the form icon. 3) The form designer reload button is hidden. It would be handy to have this button available as, if I have both projects open and change something on the form in project A and save it, there is no way short of closing B completely and re-opening it in a new IDE instance to see the changes. 4) (I lied! There is a way to do 3), but it has side effects.) If, on the form designer, I click on the Lock Form button the following occurs: a) the tab now correctly shows the [read-only] tag. But b) the link adornment in the project browser panel has disappeared. (and, what is weird is, it appears to be gone forever! Closing the IDE and starting a new instance doesn't even bring it back.) Oh. I just had a look at the .src directory. The link to the .form file has been snapped! This is probably a very bad thing. There are a few more but I am really tired tonight. I probably should raise a bug report on that last one - maybe tomorrow. regards Bruce -- CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.

(back to more serious stuff) Some preferences get saved to the .project file, but when does this occur? An example being the URL string on the Packaging tab.

[Gambas-user] include/exclude lists for executables, source archives and (autotools) packages
Some comments and questions and requests. 1) the gambasdoc Project Directory Structure page ( http://gambasdoc.org/help/doc/project_structure?v3 ) says that a) Other files and directories i.e. the Data folder are not included in the executable. Surely this cannot be right? b) [.hidden] stuff are not included in the executables. Inadvertently, a few weeks ago I created a symbolic link in the Data folder of a utility project to a file in the hidden folder. This project is (so far) only on my PC. What I am wondering is did the archiver include the symbolic link or did it snap it? 2) On the packaging tab of the Preferences popup, there is that list of files that are ignored when creating source archives. I have never really paid too much attention to it but now I am wondering what the entries in this list mean. We have a long list of documentation and modelling files in .hidden that are very often temporary in nature and can be very large. Is there a way to exclude entire directories from the archives? For example, we have a Modellio workspace in .hidden/Design/ that could and usually does contain a bunch of subdirs of metadata built by the Modellio tool with stuff in them that does not need to be archived as it is rebuilt everytime the Modellio tool is loaded. I would like to exclude these specific paths from archives (they are dozens of Mbytes) Another example is our code generators leave a lot of temporary metadata files and sqlite files here and there in .hidden. These are useful to keep in the live copy as we frequently dive in and out of the tools. But when the project is archived these files are all generally rendered useless. Again I'd just like to exclude these files from the archives. Why do I want to keep all this stuff inside the project? Even with a team of three and two major products to support, we created a documentation nightmare. The projects are on a shared network drive, the documentation and models were wherever and there were multiple copies and variants of everything. It has taken us almost two months to clean up the horse auctions docos and move it all into the gambas project directories. This is a good thing. But at the moment we are creating source archives that are approaching the limits of a DVD and need to slim them down. We are docing this manually at the moment and that is NOT a good thing. If there is not a way to exclude specific paths then fine, we will have to come up with an answer here. 3) Packages and I am only talking about autotool packing here again. I thought somewhere there was a way to exclude and include specific directories in the package archives. By somewhere I mean that I am not sure whether it was in Gambas or in something I wrote myself back in the Gambas2 days or even somewhere else, so this is really a please help if you can request. Given the above, there is a lot of stuff we are now keeping in the .hidden directory that should or should not go in the package. Can you think of a way I could achieve this? Paddys-Hill is (hopefully) going to expand shortly with, for us, a very large project. It is a bespoke development but the customer seems quite happy to have it released under GPL (as long as they get what they want). I am currently in a bit of a panic as I haven't had to cope with a team of 15'ish for some years, hence these and no doubt other weird questions that will arise shortly.

Re: [Gambas-user] A Gambas-MySql question - Query the result of a query and a table
Hi Willy, I have been thinking about this for the last day (amongst 20,000 other things) and I really don't have an easy answer. On Tue, 2014-01-14 at 10:20 +0100, Willy Raets wrote: Hi all, In MS Access it was possible to make a query based on a query. I am in the middle of porting all MS Access clients to Gambas 3 and all tables have been migrated to MySql. I do sort of remember this. We used to make a lot of use of it. But I can't remember how it was done. Could you post a simple example? Is it possible in Gambas to do a query and next do another query on the result of the previous query combined with some extra tables? (Without the example, the answer is) Well not really, but there are a lot of options. Or, do I need to do the query, store the result in a table and next query this table combined with the extra tables. No, you need not go this far! A Gambas result is not a cursor in the true sense of the word. The best way I can explain it is that it is sort of a live collection of rows. You can iterate through it using the short form of the For Each method, but you cant refer to it in another query as the dbms has no idea what you could be talking about. There are a few options that leap to mind without remembering how this stuff was done, but they all involve using direct SQL calls rather than the clever stuff Benout has provided. Also be very aware that you will be writing dbms specific code and so lose the database agnosticity that normal use of gb.db provides. (And as you seem intent on using that dog of a dbms, MySQL, I can't really be entirely specific as to how to go about it.) Generally, it works like this. The SQL standard requires a SELECT statement to refer in the FROM clause to either: - real tables - views - embedded queries. So we can SELECT (blah..) FROM aTable as A, aView as B, (SELECT Martians FROM somewhere WHERE etc) AS C WHERE A.Joe= b.Mary AND B.Sausages = C.Martians; (Note, I am cleverly avoiding JOINS here :-) ) This is standard (and I mean Standard!) SQL. But you can't do that using the normal Gambas db stuff, you have to do a Connection.Exec(query) call and that is a) dbms specific and b) not updatable. So to cut a long story short, consider this approach: 1) Convert your Access queries to views and store them in your MySQL (Ack, spit) database, but only store the Keying information 2) Use those views, which are visible in gambas as Tables 3) Use the view result as a list of keys in your gambas app to do real table updates. We do this every day, let me check todays stats... pic attached hmm a pretty slow day really. I know this last option would work, but I am just wondering if there are any better ways of doing this, without having to create a table with the query result.

Well, that makes sense. But I tried it and it still didn't show the

I tried a work-around as follows:
If gvwToolbars.Column = 1 Then
iLine = edtFormDef.FindNextWord(skey, 0)
edtFormDef.Goto(iline, 0, True)
Desktop.SendKeys([Begin]{[Shift_L][End]}) == this works
TabStrip1.Index = IDX_DEFFILE

Then suddenly, while I was writing this, I had a brainwave!
This works:
If gvwToolbars.Column = 1 Then
iLine = edtFormDef.FindNextWord(skey, 0)
TabStrip1.Index = IDX_DEFFILE == This is the trick
edtFormDef.Goto(iline, 0, True)
Endif
by making the editor control active (its the only control on the
TabStrip1[IDX_DEFFILE] tab) BEFORE doing the Goto all of a sudden it all
becomes magic again.
Phew! I was getting (more) worry lines reading the IDE code and seeing

Besides the syntax, there is another thing to be aware of: If there is a pipe from child - parent (write - read) and after the parent dies, the child writes to the pipe, it will receive a SIGPIPE and die, too, if it doesnt't catch this signal. It means if whatever flag to enable setsid() is set, the user must carefully think about adding For Read/Write/Input/Output. Regards, Tobi Good morning, Did this ever get taken further? (Another long post sorry!) I now find myself in a similar situation to Tobi, a little simpler but with an added twist. Basically, we have about 8 projects that can shell each other in a certain heirarchy. Each of these provides functionality based on a log-in role matching the role that the user wants to assume for that session. So a simple example of a hierarchy would be manager--analyst--tester--testdeveloper. That is the manager role can shell the analyst role project which can shell the tester role etc. There are other more complex heirarchies. What I need to provide is two exit strategies, Quit and Quit All that would nicely close down either the current project leaving any child processes running or close the current project and all child processes respectively. The twist is that they want the Quit All to also close any parent processes, in other words to work both up and down the chain at every level. I think these are two different things from the Gambas point of view (and on further consideration, lets leave that out of this.) I thought that the 1) hProc.Ignore=True could provide the Quit All for the first matter, and I think hProc.Ignore=False might provide the Quit but it would leave the parent process running which in turn wont exit until the remaining child processes exit. Here's the issue: Re 1) Since the user could start multiple child processes I use a global array $processes of type Process[] and add the hProc every time they start a new child. The two handlers for the Quit menu items are: Public Sub mnuExit_Click() Me.Close End Public Sub ExitAll_Click() Dim hProc As Process For Each hProc In $Processes $hProc.Ignore = True Next Me.Close End When I run this inside the IDE it all works, no matter how many child processes they kick off. ps f -U bb -o pid,ppid,args shows (abridged output): PID PPID COMMAND 17447 1 gbr3 /usr/bin/gambas3 18411 17447 \_ /usr/bin/gbx3 -g -f 17447 /.../atestmgr/tmmanager 18439 18411 \_ gbr3 /.../atestmgr/tmttester/tmttester.gambas 18449 18411 \_ gbr3 /.../atestmgr/tmdeveloper/tmdeveloper.gambas 18468 18411 \_ gbr3 /.../atestmgr/tmanalyst/tmanalyst.gambas and when I Quit All from proc 18411 they all close down. Now if I run the compiled tmmanager from a vterminal I get: PID PPID COMMAND 17187 1 lxterminal 17872 17187 \_ /bin/bash 18722 17872 \_ gbr3 ./tmmanager.gambas 18739 18722 \_gbr3 /.../atestmgr/tmdeveloper/tmdeveloper.gambas 18744 18722 \_ gbr3 /.../atestmgr/tmttester/tmttester.gambas 18751 18722 \_ gbr3 /../atestmgr/tmanalyst/tmanalyst.gambas as expected, BUT when I Quit All (from 18772) the children stay alive: PID PPID COMMAND 18751 1 gbr3 /.../atestmgr/tmanalyst/tmanalyst.gambas 18744 1 gbr3 /.../atestmgr/tmttester/tmttester.gambas 18739 1 gbr3 /.../atestmgr/tmdeveloper/tmdeveloper.gambas 17187 1 lxterminal 17872 17187 \_ /bin/bash and magically they have moved to the init proc. Finally, If I just Quit from either the IDE debug mode or from the vterminal the expected occurs - the original process stays alive until the last child process exits.

Re: [Gambas-user] Report component - variable height items
Works like an old rag! Is it good or bad ? Sorry! A bit of Australian crept in there. It means good. Now, here is a couple of new problems (and hopefully an answer). We have an audit requirement to create a hard copy of a thing when its' data is first entered into the system. Since there will be hundreds, if not thousands, of these things I have convinced the auditors to let us create a read-only pdf file rather than chewing up so much paper. Fine, so the requirement now becomes a technical requirement: When a thing is first inserted into the database, automatically print-to-file a gb.report of the data and set its' attribs to -r--r--r-- The first and last bits are not a problem, it's that middle bit automatically print-to-file a gb.report of the data. Why it is a problem is a bit hard to explain, but here goes. We want no user interaction. So instead of showing the preview form, it has just got to print. In fact we don't even want to see the printer selection form (but I'll get to that later). Tracing through the call stack, I get to CPrint.PrintReport: 7 Public Sub PrintReport(hReport As Report) 8 9Dim hSizeParse As TSizeParse 10 11$hPrint = hReport.Clone() 12hPrinter.Paper = $hPrint.Paper 13hPrinter.Orientation = $hPrint.Orientation 14If $hPrint.Paper = Printer.Custom Then 15 hSizeParse = New TSizeParse($hPrint.Width) 16 hPrinter.PaperWidth = hSizeParse.ToCm() / 10 17 hSizeParse = New TSizeParse($hPrint.Height) 18 hPrinter.PaperHeight = hSizeParse.ToCm() / 10 19Endif 20If Not hPrinter.Configure() Then 21 hPrinter.Print 22Endif 23 24 End The first issue is at line 11, I can't understand why you create a clone of the report object and it creates a problem as follows: Report.Clone invokes the _new() method in the actual report class. However, our _new method requires a parameter, the database record id for the thing we want to print. So we get a not enough parameters error. (I tried getting around this by using a Run(id) method, but of course this never gets invoked in the cloned object and thus we get a blank report.) I have changed line 11 to 11$hPrint = hReport '.Clone() locally and everything still works. But I am a bit scared that there is something I don't know about that requires that cloning to occur. Is there? Now we get to line 20. This is a bit unconditional! We need a way to skip running the preview. Anyway, after a bit of mucking about I decided that Report needed two new properties (DefaultPrinter and ShowPreview) and CPrint needed some changes. I have attached a gzip of these classes. See what you think about adding these changes to the base. (Note: it does have that line 11 change.) Basically, ShowPreview defaults to True and since DefaultPrinter will be null, there should be no side effects on existing reports. ShowPreview is set to appear in the IDE Report designer, so it is a simple matter to turn it off or on. DefaultPrinter doesn't appear in the IDE, it is a code-only property. What turned out to be cool is that just by creating a DefaultPrinter, it automatically selects the users actual default printer (or the system default if the user hasn't got one). So that makes it possible to bypass the Printer.Configure() call and the report will go to the default printer automagically. What I found to be even cooler is how to set it to print-to-file. Me.DefaultPrinter = New Printer With Me.DefaultPrinter .Name = .OutputFile = ~/print1.pdf End With in the myreport.class and bingo! i.e. just set the printer name to null and the OutputFile property to wherever you want the report to go. Setting the filename extension magically produces a pdf file, setting it to anything else magically produces a postscript file. regards Bruce changes.tar.gz Description: application/compressed-tar -- CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.

Re: [Gambas-user] A statusbar control
I have had some joy over the last few days doing this from scratch using the gb.form.mdi ToolBar as the base control. It's still a long way from the answer and also a long way from being a fully developed IDE useable control. but I thought you may like to see the progress so far. I mocked up a prototype in the test form using just native controls to act as a guide for what I wanted. Then started creating the actual Real custom control. There are still a lot of things that need attention, the least of which is using the ToolBar as a base. Unfortunately, I do not have time at the moment to start converting it to use a drawing whatsit and thus eliminate the reliance on gb.form.mdi, but I have got the number of sub-panels thing worked out to the extent that adding new panels can be done on the fly, removing them is a bit of a different fish though. So I've limited the removals to only those that are added at runtime. The design ones must stay there. The automatic layout is sort- of OK. I am still fighting with the padding necessary to make the variable length text work properly. User interaction is still far in the future, but the biggie went away by itself as the sub-panel controls are addressable (although not as simply as I'd like) from the main form. Things that arose in the development were: I want to have non-text items in the bar. This turned out to be easy, so now we have Text sub-panels (a Label), Icon sub-panels (a pictureBox) and Progress sub-panels (a progressBar). Anyway, have a look.

Or probably a bit better, because if I recall correctly, I could not ever really work out what I was trying to achieve. Since I never got far, I sort of forgot it and got on with life. I remember thinking at the time that it was such a basic idea how come there wasn't a native one. Since then I have discovered that life on the planet has actually continued without it. But, in fact Some people seem to like this sort of thing. is exactly what happened this week. They want a status bar. It's no big deal really. I was just hoping that someone had one that might get them off my back. So, whenever. I had another go yesterday at creating a custom status bar control, but yet again, came up against the same problem of deciding what it is I actually want. I know some of the things I want: - an IDE configurable number of sub-panels, - automatic layout, including springiness for at least one of the subpanels, - user interaction with the statusbar to stretch a sub-panel relative to the others, - (biggy) event response, so when something happens in the application the app can raise an event handled by the statusbar to do/show something. Every time I get to that last one, is where I start trying to work out what that really means. ( I am going to get a bit historical now. ) Some time in the last century I did write a (cough) VB (cough) component (cough, lets call it an addin at best) that did do whatever it is I am talking about.

Hi all
How to use Type in gambas.my VB Code is given below
Private Type coordinates
XVal As Double
YVal As Double
laseron As String
mode As String

With best regards to Caveat, who knows what he is talking about.
Sudeep,
There is a struct concept in Gambas, but it is not really a good idea
to use it unless you know what you are doing.
But for the sake of sanity:
1) structs must be public, which essentially means you have absolutely
no protection, so
Public Struct {Type}
XVal As Float ' no not a Double, we have never heard of it
YVal As Float ' ditto but perhaps you might like to read the
help on datatypes
laseron as String ' Boolean, what is happening here, maybe
perhaps is a valid value
mode As String ' great, so mode Elephant works here too
End Struct
2) Good luck.
3) Either read the help or get out of my mailbox.

[Gambas-user] Overriding native classess
I've got myself in a real mess with this one. :-( I have a class in a local (third-party) component that inherits the native Application class. It provides some generic setup stuff, database connectivity across networks and some basic security. It works fine and has done so for a few years. Now I have a need to override the Application class itself in a project that uses this component (to provide an additional property which is a collection of gb.logging Logger objects.) The new Application class uses an _init() method to set up these logs. When I run the project through the IDE, it starts and the stack backtrace panel shows (native code) and execution just stops. It doesn't hang or anything, it just stops as if it hit a debugging breakpoint. There is no further information. If I then continue execution (via F5 ) the program just ends. No errors, nothing. I realise that the problem is caused by this mixing of overriding and inheriting the native Application class. My problem is that I can't see where to start looking for a solution. So, Is this mixing of inheritance and overrides on native classes illegal? (If not) Does anyone know what is going on inside this native code at the point of program startup? tia Bruce -- Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.

Usually the depicted behaviour is an error returned by the debugger not displayed by the IDE, because it is raised too early (when initializing classes). What was interesting was that the error still occurs when there is no code that references the component, it's only reference was in the project properties (i.e. it is still in the .project and .startup files).

[Gambas-user] gb.db Connections questions
Fiddling around under the hood Is there any hidden reason why Connections is readonly? Is there any reason for it not having a Count property? The reason being, I am trying to get rid of my Application override/inheritance problem from this morning. I have run into an issue where a) we configure the connection host at runtime (the age-old dev/test/prod server configuration) and b) one library creates a hardcoded connection (it's actually a softcoded connection) to an SQLite file in the tmp/gambas.999/proc directory. I need to share both of these connections up and down our component/library tree. I have changed our local copy of gb.db but am wondering if there is any hidden issues that could arise that mean that Connections must be readonly. tia Bruce -- Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.

The log is automatically opened for writing when creating the logger. A recent change, too, is the ability to use the component without creating a Logger instance. If you call Logger.Log(...) a new, hidden instance will be created for you. This is useful if you only need one Logger and use it in multiple Modules/Classes of you application. It will save you a public variable and a few LOC. Grraagh! I just spent several hours working up a solution for logging to a single log across multiple components/libraries. One question, is there any change to the parameters? AKA where does the log info get sent to when using the hidden instance? Also, it is now possible to redirect the Logger output to stderr ;) Hope you like it! Please let me know any thoughts! I have been thinking (hard to believe!) about some kind of scheme for logging to multiple files. Some ideas were to a) use the cron approach i.e. 3 logs error, info and warning but probably error, info and debug would be better suited to a development system like Gambas. b) similar to a) but allow configuration as to what level message goes to which log. Here on our production stuff we really need to keep errors warnings very separate from the info log(s) as they need high visibility (i.e. if error.log is not empty then everyone panic!), the info logs are of two types, general this got done and that got done and this is what came out data and audit data (bluh!) and we really need the debug.log on the dev/fix side of things. The other thing I would like to see is a way to increase the number of levels of detail once we get down to the debug level. This would be on an application basis. cheers Bruce -- Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.

Then by examination of each dWindow property (i.e. X, Y, Width, Height), one can determine which window has been clicked. Is that the best way? But how can one allow for the situation where the user has clicked a point which is within 2 windows i.e. is there a property of dWindow which shows if that window is the 'top' one (i.e. covering the other one at that point)?

Hi,
In revision #5924, the IDE generates meta-packages for QT4 and GTK+
support when a project uses the gb.gui component. There is no dependency
on the non-existing gb.gui package anymore. Same thing for gb.gui.opengl.
So, if the 'foo' project uses gb.gui, the packager will generate the
three following packages:
- 'foo', the full project will all its dependencies.
- 'foo-qt4', a void package that depends on 'foo' and 'gb.qt4'.
- 'foo-gtk', a void package that depends on 'foo' and 'gb.gtk'.
If 'foo' uses gb.gui.opengl, the corresponding opengl dependencies will
be added to the 'foo-qt4' and 'foo-gtk' packages.
At the moment, only Debian/Ubuntu has been implemented.
Can you test it and tell me if it works for you?
I will add the conditional dependency foo-gtk | foo-qt4, but I want to
check if it possible with RPM, Arch, and Slackware packages first.
Regards,
P.S. I admire you and others making binary packages. Playing with debian
packaging is like programming the Win32 API with the brainfuck language
for me. It took me more than four hours to make these two metapackages
without getting a cryptic error.
(Purely theoretical given this is all a bit too hard for me)
a) where is gb.image going to live?
b) if 'foo' uses one of the UI's directly then I presume you would only
get (say) foo-gtk. Does that render the entire package unusable on a KDE
environment?
c) BTW I'll check again, but I seem to recall that the keyring is still
there in gtk 3
Another thing just popped into my head.
If 'foo' uses gb.qt4.webkit then even if it is explicitly using gb.gui
then the gb.gtk component is redundant as the app will always start with
gb.qt4 active.
I attached a pic to show what I mean.
So how far does/will the packager go to resolve that only gb.qt4 is
required?
If 'foo' uses gb.qt4.webkit, it cannot use gb.gui.
No, you missed the point. (I think)... :-) 'foo' is only designed to use
gb.gui but it depends on 'ph.auction', which because it relies on
gb.webkit must mean that:
1) the package must contain the gb.qt4 component so that the third party
component will run
2) but on the other hand, if there is something provided by gb.gui that
is internally dependant on the switcher gb.gui say some theoretical
thing called gb.gui.beaujolais then both gb.qt4 and gb.gui (and the
dreaded beaujolais components must be included.
At the moment this all works because the decision as to which gui is
used is made by the runtime. So even though 'foo' is using gb.gui
something else (ph.auction) it uses depends on and, as you implied,
restricting the application to switch to gb.qt4 with no effort on behalf
of the programmer or the user. To get a bit clearer, or perhaps even
less clear, suppose programmer Adelie has no idea what gui will need
to be used for 'foo2' and say for the sake of the argument that they
want to use another 3rd party component that we distribute (ph.sales)
which in turn is dependant on ph.auction. From the point of view of the
IDE, all she needs to do is use gb.gui (and ph.sales) and bingo
everything works. Mainly because the runtime resolves all this and
decides that the whole project needs to be run using the gb.qt4
component.
This is the crux. If you are talking about a packaging system that is
only going to base its' decision on what UI component to include on the
application level ('foo2'), then how do we resolve a dependency that is
(now) two levels away?
'foo2'-- 'gb.gui'
-- 'ph.sales' -- ph.auction -- gb.webkit -- gb.qt4
Adelie can't see, and indeed should not need to see, that dependency
down the chain. So, how far does the packager need to go to decide
whether or not to include/exclude a particular desktop (btw: I hate
that word too, it's not a desktop it's a UI at best or a window
widget provider.)
As I said, purely theoretical because we distribute everything as
autotools installers not binaries. It just concerns me that somewhere
down the track an assumption could be made that would render even the
autotools packaging not-working.
(btw: I wish there was a gb.gtk.webkit!)
Something to be done, but a big job, because the GTK+ webkit relies on
other libraries to handle the network, whereas everything is under the
hand with Qt4.
Yep, understood. But ... I can still wish can't I? :-)

If 'foo' uses gb.qt4.webkit then even if it is explicitly using gb.gui then the gb.gtk component is redundant as the app will always start with gb.qt4 active. I attached a pic to show what I mean. So how far does/will the packager go to resolve that only gb.qt4 is required?

Re: [Gambas-user] gb.settings: Detect if a slot exists

Similarly If Settings[Filter] then always seems to be false. So is there a way to find out if a Slot does exist? more info - The problem is that the value lines depend on about 8 text boxes set or cleared by the user. If one or more of the text boxes are empty then that value line will not appear under the [Filter] slot. So I can't detect the existence of the slot by detecting a particular value line. In fact if they clear all the filter strings then that whole slot will disappear. Thus I need to check if the slot exists, so then I could If Settings.Exist[Filter] then GetFilterSettings Else SetDefaultFilter Endif Hmm. Settings[Filter] will return Null if the slot does not exist. Note that the slot is also non-existent if you do assign Null like Settings[Filter] = Null which means Settings[sKey] returning Null is a necessary and sufficient indicator that sKey is not a slot in the Settings. So, use If IsNull(Settings[Filter]) Then ' Settings[Filter] does not exist... Endif That is what I thought too but it doesn't work. If the .config is [Filter] filteractive=-1 then isNull(Settings[Filter]) will always be true as Settings will always return a null if the key is a slot not a value. My problem is that if no Filter/things are set, when the settings are saved then the entire slot disappears from the .config file. in case you want to do something when the Filter key does not exist. Regards, Tobi I have figured out a workaround, but its messy and fragile. I create a dummy boolean valueitem called filtered. I set it true if any filters are set and false if none are set. It is fragile because I do not know at the time I close down the app how many filter things there are. So each bit of code that creates or sets a filter item must manage a global boolean value (and thus it is fragile because it involves each bit checking on all other filter items). But at least that way I always will have a [Filter] slot with at least one valueitem in it. -- Bruce bbr...@paddys-hill.net Paddys-Hill dot net -- Android is increasing in popularity, but the open development platform that developers love is also attractive to malware creators.

You second idea works, but I was trying to avoid that as I will be calling it multiple times, at least once for each filter item that gets defined.

Re: [Gambas-user] Conflicting and bewildering help for pipes

Anyway, if I Print #hGPpipe, plot x^2 only garbage (not non-sense but the string is always scrambled) seems to arrive at gnuplot. Also, I seem to get output from gnuplot irregularly. So I'm out of options for now. I remember that raising Read events for streams has been subject to issues from time to time... Regards, Tobi Please give details. I tried what you said (but plot x*x because plot x^2 seems to not be the good syntax), and I always got the plot as expected. OK. The attached project gives the following output after I pressed Button1 four or five times: --- Read line 0: non-integer passed to boolean operator Read gnuplot lot x^1 ^ line 0: invalid command Read gnuplot pot x^1 ^ line 0: Readinvalid command Read gnuplot lotx^1 ^ line 0: invalid command Read gnuplot plp plot x^1 ^ Readline 0: invalid command --- You can see that in each message, one character is missing so that plot is lot or pot or lot again. The missing characters plp appear in the last message, totally mis-placed. Am I maybe reading incorrectly from the pipe? Regards, Tobi Spoke too fast. Now I have the same output as you (more or less)... OK, I have made a few changes to plotdoc (attached). This version makes a plot and lets us interact with it. Notes: 1) sending the show all command gets us lots of text back from gnuplot and it all appears to be contained within my Read [ and ] ..done tags. So it looks as though we are getting (stdout) text back properly. 2) one thing I have found with gnuplot is that you must tell it to quit or you end up with zombie tasks. (In fact this was the main reason I started using pipes.) 3) when you run this plotdoc put the mouse over the plot window and try [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[mouse wheel] - Now we see the junk appearing. But it is all inside Read [, ] ..done pairs, so it looks as though gnuplot either sends the errors back through stdout or that we are already getting stderr inside the pipe. 4) if you just run gnuplot within a terminal, plot sin(x) and use the mousewheel there is no junk output. Maybe its gnuplot that has got a problem when it is run from some other task??? -- Bruce bbr...@paddys-hill.net Paddys-Hill dot net gnuplotter-0.0.1.tar.gz Description: application/compressed-tar -- Android is increasing in popularity, but the open development platform that developers love is also attractive to malware creators.
