I've got 8Gig to test. I'll take the advice, just to make sure but the problem has happened on two machines with the very same symptoms. Thanks. Just thinking out loud maybe it helps. You talked about a Windows machine at one end, maybe also check its firewall and antivirus settings, if any. I know for example Kaspersky 2010 sits between all the network connections you have, maybe some strange pattern is seen as evil, and the connection gets cut off in the middle. Check logs. I have the problem on linux and linux alone. Windows has nothing to do with it. If you transfer lots of (other) network data, make sure your switches/pcs/routers's network interfaces etc. are in the correct mode, full duplex/duplex, Well, that'll be a great help if I have only wireless. Nevertheless my network is wired but the network is not the culprit either. lots of equipment doesn't negotiate mode correctly, resulting in one device in half- and the switch in full duplex for example, it seems to work, but not 100%... you get network errors, and strange behavior. Also nothing to do with it. The problem occurred first when a Windows server was involved, however it has also happened since on a standalone linux talking to itself on localhost. The second time I posted about the problem I didn't mention Windows because Windows has been completely eliminated from the equation. I couldn't see if you are running on 64 Bits Linux, I have had many occasions of problems at the startup of my project, some times my project started 30 times in a row without any problem and the 31th time bingo! It made me nuts back then... It had to do with memory space Gambas was loaded in, if it was in 64Bit memory space, it was unstable. (those bugs are fixed by Benoit so don't worry) It has happened on both x86 and x64, and I am using x64 right now.

And tell me all the messages reported by valgrind during the life of the application. The broken pipe error is irrelevant because I am using a different machine and still have the same issue.

I'll keep my eye on the problem. I want to be able to say, I TOLD YOU SO!!! Mind you, it doesn't exactly instil confidence in me to bother getting the application finished. If the information you gave are all exact (rebooting changed nothing, suddenly everything works again), the problem should come from something outside of the operating system. It wasn't working until I the instant I swapped those two lines then, VOILA! It suddenly worked and refused to let me repeat the problem.

Is there a workaround to allow the alignment of a DataControl, apart from hiding the DataControls and mirroring the data in a TextBox? Not really, not really. But it should be not really difficult to add it. The idea behind DataControl is changing the actual control used according to the datatype of the field. So it just a matter of being careful that not all true controls used by DataControl support an Alignment property. If I remember, at the moment, Number are right aligned, and other data left aligned by default. Ok, thanks. I'll put it down as a limitation :) Is there any way to set the foreground and background colours of a disabled TextBox to something other than the almost unreadable colours used in the default linux colour schemes? All suggestions, other than rude suggestions, are welcome. Alas the behaviour of disabled controls mostly depends on the toolkit, the theme used, and the colours used in the control center for KDE. And if setting the background (or foreground) color of a control sets its colour both for normal and disabled mode, there will be no way for the user to see the difference between a normal and a disabled control, which is not a good thing. I found a perfect workaround while I was working around the limitation mentioned above. The TextArea control doesn't change the colour of text when it is disabled. Instead of using the TextBox control to replace the DataControls, which I need to align, I now use TextArea. It looks good, like it should.

[Gambas-user] Code Editor Problem
This looks like a bug to me. If I create a module name modConstants and add these two lines: PUBLIC CONST BTN_CANCEL AS Integer = 0 PUBLIC CONST BTN_OK AS Integer = 1 If I then edit, say, FMain, I can then refer to those constants by typing the module name and a period. Gambas will then show me BTN_CANCEL and BTN_OK in a popup window. No such thing happens if the module name is from 1 to 3 characters in length. The problem is, I need a module to be called k, nothing else, and I need the constants to be displayed when I type k and a period. I am working on a huge translation project that has 800+ constants and I want to save both thousands of needless key strokes and needless hours copying and pasting a longer module name. I could find no documentation regarding limitations on the name of modules. Comments anyone? -- Come build with us!

If I create a module name modConstants and add these two lines: PUBLIC CONST BTN_CANCEL AS Integer = 0 PUBLIC CONST BTN_OK AS Integer = 1 If I then edit, say, FMain, I can then refer to those constants by typing the module name and a period. Gambas will then show me BTN_CANCEL and BTN_OK in a popup window. No such thing happens if the module name is from 1 to 3 characters in length.

I could find no documentation regarding limitations on the name of modules. I think it is not a limitation on the module's name, but a limitation on the auto-completion routine of the IDE. It seems that auto-completion waits for three characters before starting to clobber your editor with popups windows; but it would make sense to enable anyway the autocompletion if you type in a dot. Yes, that's what I was thinking. This is not an answer to your question, but may help anyway. No problem. Thanks for replying. -- Come build with us!

Do you mean that if you type k then a period, you won't see the completion popup of the module k ? Yes, that's correct. Typing k. does not show the completion popup. -- Come build with us!

Re: [Gambas-user] make Label background from Database field

After creating the test table, if you type in an SQL command and click the run button, you will see a gridview with a myriad colours that can be changed based on the data. Surely something like that has to be easier than trying to work out how to manage a hundred labels on a screen, and surely it will offer you much better and easier control of future UI changes, and surely it will offer a more pleasing and intuitive presentation to your user. -- Come build with us!

Re: [Gambas-user] Normal behaviour for GTK+?

I think I have narrowed the problem down to the GTK+ toolkit for Gambas. If I create a GTK+ project and put a TextBox and a ValueBox on a form and set their default values, when I tab to the TextBox I can over-type the text, but when I tab to the ValueBox, the number I type is appended: For example, if the ValueBox contains 5000 and I type 7, the value becomes 50007. However if I change the project to use a Qt GUI, it works as I expect, i.e. if the ValueBox contains 5000 and I type 7, the value becomes 7. I have been able to reproduce this behaviour. Is that normal for GTK+? Is there anything I can do short of using Qt? Am I doing something wrong? Also, I can't find any documentation why I might use Qt in Gambas as opposed to GTK+ in Gambas. Opinions on what is best and why will be appreciated. Which version of Gambas do you use? V2.16. I had to make an hack in gb.gtk recently to make all basic events (Mouse, Keyboard, Enter and Leave) behave the same way as in gb.qt. But the 2.17 is not released yet (I'm currently busy with a theatre play), but you can try /branches/2.0 in the svn repository. Can you make a little project for me that has the bug you describe? I will test it with the future 2.17, and I will see if the bug has gone. I can make one a lot smaller than little: PUBLIC SUB Form_Open() ValueBox1.Value = 999 END :) Create a new GTK+ project with no options, drag a ValueBox to the default form. When you run the app, tab into the ValueBox so that 999 is selected then type another number. OK. There was a bug in the gb.gtk TextBox.Insert() method. The selected text was not deleted by the insertion, as usually expected. I fixed it in revision #2394. lol - I found my first bug! I'll buy some Aussie beer tonight and will celebrate. Glad I could help. Look, I've got a lot of documentation experience so I've sent an email to 'gambas' to sign up for access so I can help out. If the requests go to you, the one arriving about now is from me. Regards, -- Come build with us!
