[Gambas-user] URGENT request to people of Gambas stable PPA
Hi, First, thank you for all the good and hard work getting Gambas out there. I have an urgent request for the Gambas-team people taking care of Gambas stable PPA. Would it be possible to have a PPA where Gambas 3.6.2 is available (a copy for example of the current). The reason I am asking is as follows. At work, I have been working on a complete rewriting of current VB Client applications under Windows/MSAccess to Gambas 3.6.2 client applications under Linux/MySql. This project started december 2013. The rewrites have finished a few months ago and since I have been testing all. I am about to migrate the Windows environment to Linux. For this I need a working Gambas 3.6.2 PPA. Compiling Gambas 3.6 on the local systems will not work. Simply because the installation of the Gambas 3.6 migrated application .debs will not work because of missing dependencies. Why? Well, the distros package management system is not aware of the locally compiled Gambas 3.6.2. and will try to look for a PPA that holds them. Since all my applications are coded for auto-update-install new application versions, using the newer .debs, my auto-update-install mechanisms will not work either! Access to a Gambas 3.7 PPA is no solution as none of the applications where tested against Gambas 3.7 and I do not have a few months time to retest all. The migration is planned for next week! For this reason I need access to a working Gambas 3.6.2 repository, but with the release of Gambas 3.7, the 3.6.2 will soon be updated and no more 3.6.2 PPA will be available. Is it possible to host the 3.6.2 version at launchpad in a separate PPA, so that it will stay available. And wouldn't it be handy to have such a PPA for each last 3.x version. Especially, for those working in a professional environment, where stability is more important that the latest and greatest version of something. I hope some kind of solution will be possible or else the project will have a setback of a few months and my bosses will NOT be happy. It took me quite some time to convince them to make the move from VB/Windows to Gambas/Linux,so this latest Gambas update is really bad timing for me. -- Kind regards, Willy (aka gbWilly) http://gambasshowcase.org/ http://howtogambas.org http://gambos.org -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.

Maybe (just try it out), but if your clients will also rely on the launchpad stable dist they will fetch 3.7 from there as soon as stable lies there, because there lies the one with higher version number. The clients will have no references in their sources.list to the Gambas 3.7 PPA, so that should be no problem. I am currently trying to set it up. I have got the files in /var/www/apt/gambas3 I'm not sure though on what to publish so it makes sense for apt-get. The above apt/gambas3 folder has an ubuntu folder. In there you have dists and pool. dists contains a develop, lucid, precise, ... and trusty folder All the above mentioned folders (develop, lucid,..) hold a main folder, the release file and release.gpg The pool folder holds a main folder with folder g and l, with more subfolders eventually leading to the .deb packages. What I was wondering is, what level of the folder structure to publish in apache. /var/www/apt/gambas3? or /var/www/apt/gambas3/ubuntu? AFAIK If you're familiar with the use of reprepro you can distribute your own software to your clients via apt also. I do that and it's nice and comfortable.

On the clients edit the sources.list to point to the repo Are these the correct steps and in the right order to take? If I can be of any help let me know! I will probably need your help. I have been looking into reprepo for several times over the past few years, but never actually tried setting up a repo. Most documentation comes with a lot of bash scripts that are very specific for the shown example, or deal with having reprepo make packages from source and so on. None of the docs seems to aim at why I intend to do, set up an Ubuntu repo on a Debian server, with the packages ripped from a PPA. I have the feeling that making the folder structure and packages for the repo is not needed if ripping an existing ppa from its packages and folder structure. That should make the whole setup much eazier, but what to configure and what not in reprepo for this situation is a bit unclear to me. But somehow I have the feeling that even a lot of what needs to be configured is already in place when copying an existing PPA. I find it very hard to find documentation that makes sense to me and this specific situation. I have like a dozen of bookmarks in my browser on reprepro for a few years now (add new ones when I find them), reread them like every half year and still never managed to completely wrap my head around setting up a repo :) So any help is appreciated. -- Kind regards, Willy (aka gbWilly) http://gambasshowcase.org/ http://howtogambas.org http://gambos.org -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.

Hi all, I have a report that exists of 3 'blocks of data' that are fed by 3 different result sets from a MySql database. All works fine as long as all result sets have data. Now, one of the results sets CAN be empty (this is intentional and just means that the block of data for that result set should not be shown on the report). This is where my trouble starts :) The code is in the _new event of the Report. I first do check the result (let's name it rResult) for data, but next have no idea on how to continue If rResult.Count = 0 Then 'here I need to prevent the ReportLabels from having their data event 'triggered as that leads to an error because of no result Else Endif So, how to I get the ReportLabels belonging to the rResult to not run their _Data event? -- Kind regards, Willy (aka gbWilly) http://gambasshowcase.org/ http://howtogambas.org http://gambos.org -- Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.

Since you have 3.5.4 from PPA Gambas Team you can keep it simple. No removal needed, but you might need to do a two step install (in some cases). Do this: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade If before typing Y in last command you see some gambas3 packages are kept back write their names down. In case above is done and some package where kept back do sudo apt-get install name package name package This will install the last missing packages. You should now have a working Gambas 3.6 version.

That's why I ask. Rolf Rolf, the .rpm packages will only install if dependencies are met. This is something the distro's package installers normally check. Dependencies are only met, if a repository is know to you distro that can meet the dependencies by installing the gambas parts the .rpm needs. I don't know what distro you use and thus if a recent Gambas version is available for that distro. I do know that recent versions of Fedora and Mageia have Gambas 3.5.x in their repositories, so there installing the .rmp should work (presuming you did NOT make the .rpm with Gambas 3.5.90). -- Kind regards, Willy (aka gbWilly) http://gambasshowcase.org/ http://howtogambas.org http://gambos.org -- 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?

The ComboBox look and behaviour is entirely managed by the GUI toolkit and theme. Most of GTK+ theme has this weird behaviour with ComboBox. Qt4 don't, unless you use the QGtk widget theme that encapsulates a GTK+ theme inside a QT one. That explains a lot, as I was using gb.qt4, but the widget theme is indeed QGtk. In other words, Gambas cannot do anything against that, unless you rewrite your own ComboBox entirely in Gambas. I will try to do that after the 3.6 release to see if it is possible.

Now I have seen that the Gambas (trunk version) default makes a .gitignore file, witch is a very handy thing when working with git. I was wondering what is the use of ignoring the language .pot files (.lang/*.pot)? I mean if I'm working on a local clone (lets say AClone) of the main git repository on the server and I would add a new form, in a translatable project, a .pot file would be generated. These are to my understanding the .po template files. After an add and commit of working directory into origin (AClone on the local machine) and next pushing it to the server, it would ignore these .pot files. If someone (let say a translator) now clones the server to his local machine (lets say B), there would be no .pot file for the new form, so no template to translate. Could he do translations (in BClone)? Will the IDE generate a new .pot file the moment the translator (in BClone) would open the Translation form? If it does, I have no more questions and all is okay. If not the translator could not do translations for the new form and thus the .pot files should not be ignored in .gitignore Just wondering? By principle, I don't put any file that is generated in subversion, git, or any version control system. Which is the case with *.pot files, that are generated by the compiler (with the bytecode files stored in the '.gambas' directory, that are not put into version control too). Okay, if the .pot files are generated by compiler then they are there when needed and all should be okay.

[Gambas-user] Class info contradicts by Gambas added class info
Hi all, I have this Gambas library. I have made sure classes have their description (using ''' at the beginning) and public functions/methods have their description (using '' just before the function/method) I have this exported class named Update. When typing Update in an application using the library the help shows up with info on the class Update (see Screenshot01.png) I can correctly see my info, being: Update provides methods for handling your application updates, version checking, provide online information from (rich) text files and show changelog. This class is not creatable. But I can also see that Gambas seems to add stuff: This class can be used like an object by creating an hidden instance on demand. This class is creatable. Now these two are a contradictions. My help info says: This class is not creatable. Gambas adds info: This class is creatable. The class Update is an exported class, but all functions and methods are Static. (see Screenshot02.png) No instances can be made of the class nor of it's public functions/methods. I noticed this in Gambas 3.5.4, had a look (in VM) at an installed Gambas 3.5.90 (#rev.6469), but there the info is the same.

I think you can instantiate your class, even if everything is static in there and you have Create Static set -- the instance you get from New would just be rather useless. I guess it could, but as _new() isn't even in the code it would not be very useful. So, from the point of view of a developer using the library the added gambas info is misleading at least and in contradiction. I'm trying to tell them to to instantiate as it is useless. Gambas added info tells the opposite. This is what wiki says on the subject of a static class: 1.1. Classes A static class is a class whose all members are static (see below). In Gambas, a static class is also named a module. A static class cannot be instantiated: it would create an object with no dynamic variable, which is useless. Source: http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/doc/object-model (IIRC I tried that a few days ago: I tried to create an object of a module, and it worked!) The only thing which would forbid instantiation is the Create Private keyword. -- Kind regards, Willy (aka gbWilly) http://gambasshowcase.org/ http://howtogambas.org http://gambos.org -- Slashdot TV.

I removed the constraint where a class without dynamic variable is not instanciable. But I don't know why I suddenly found that useful... I remember it not being there (I mean the added info for a static class) in previous Gambas version before 3.5.x Anyway, the help info and wiki are in contradiction (see my previous answer). Seems either one of them needs to be changed. And since it is of no use to instantiate a static class, I would prefer the added help info to be gone.

I don't think so as the fix should make Gambas confirm the documentation :) Modules normally don't have the _new public method. As a matter of fact modules are static classes. When creating a static class yourself (so not using a module, but a class with create static, as in my case), you normally don't implement a _new public method either. The goal of a static class is to provide properties, functions and methods that can't be instantiated (including the class itself, as that is of very little practical use). If you want a class that can be instantiated you normally use a non-static class. At least to my understanding of the matter. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi, It came to my attention that closing a Main form with a simple Me.Close doesn't close any other forms that still might be open. It didn't used to be that way as far as I can remember, so it must have sneaked in somewhere along the road.

[Gambas-user] CTRL+A (select all) bug
Hi, Select all, using CTRL+A in IDE results in the last line NOT being selected. Selection ends at the beginning of the last line. How to reproduce: Make sure that in the code editor (or on a text file contained in the project data folder) the last line is NOT an empty line.

[Gambas-user] Bug: Mageia packages made by IDE do not install application icon in distro menu
Hi all,
Lee (also on this mailinglist) did some testing of an application of
mine.
He reported that when installing the rpm he had script errors.
The application did install and had a menu entry, but no icon was
present for the entry.
When I run the .deb files on Mint icon are properly made for the distro
menu entry.
So the problem seems to be in the mageia package as made by the IDE.
This is what Lee reported back to me:
-
Running `rpm -Uvh earthshipcalc-1.0.91-1mga.noarch.rpm` as root gave me:
Preparing... #
[100%]
Updating / installing...
1:earthshipcalc-1.0.91-1mga
#
[ 50%]
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.p7FUo4: line 1: fg: no job control

/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.lWAIDV: line 1: fg: no job control
warning: %postun(earthshipcalc-1.0.90-1mga.noarch) scriptlet failed,
exit status 1
Version 1.0.90 was given a menu spot in Development-Tools. Version
1.0.91 occupies a menu entry in Sciences which is appropriate. But, it
still does not display its own custom icon.
I tried to find the icon with `locate Earthship` as root. I got the
following lines at the top of the result:
/%{_iconsdir}/EarthshipCalc.png
/%{_liconsdir}/EarthshipCalc.png
/%{_miconsdir}/EarthshipCalc.png
And indeed, those directories (and the icon) are there in the system
root directory. It seems something in the install script/process is not
replacing those dynamic placeholders with their correct local values.
-
Some info on Lee his system:
- Architecture: i686
- Kernel: Linux
- Kernel release: 3.10.50-desktop-1.mga3
- Distribution: Mageia 3
- Distro Code name: thornicroft
- X Window Manager: KWin
- Desktop: KDE
- Gambas3 version: 3.5.4
Maybe Lee can add more info to this bug report.

Another problem is that the specific build of GAMBAS packaged with many distros is outdated or unstable. I can create a GAMBAS application using the stable PPA, create an installation package, distribute it, and users who install it may not be able to run the program because their distro's GAMBAS build is too old. I run into the same problems, distributing my applications to simple users is a hell, becuase of outdated Gambas packages in the official repositories. I don't know the best solution to these problems, though I can think of some possibilities: Add an option when creating an installation package to prompt the user to install dependencies from the stable PPA or from source. When the user begins to install the package, a script will be run that prompts them if they'd like to install updated runtime dependencies with the default answer being Yes. Whether the PPA or sources are used depends on the option chosen when building the installation package. This is a bit of a chicken/egg situation. Example: You build a package in say 3.5.4 and it then should have some way to latest stable PPA. Say you run it on Ubuntu 12.04 running Gambas 3.1.1. Your 3.5.4 package will be aborted because of 3.5 dependency, so even the adding newer PPA wouldn't run!! What would be needed is a Gambas application written in 3.1.x named GambasUpdater for example that simply adds the stable repo to the sources.list and run an apt-get update. After this you should be able to install 3.5.x packages. But now you only tackled Ubuntu and Ubuntu based distro's For Debian the application would need to add jessie repo to sources.list and a Preferences file to make it work. I have been thinking about writing such an application so at least Ubuntu and Debain Gambas 3.5.x packages can be installed, as long as the user first installs the application GambasUpdate. Time constrains have kept me from doing so For other distro's (rpm based ones) I have no clue. But if I know what repos and how to add a repo on fedora, mageia, opensuse and such, it could all be done in one app. User selects distro he is running and next a recent Gambas repo gets added to their system, that is about all that would be needed. That is an interesting solution, although that assumes GAMBAS is already 1. installed on a user's system. My suggestion was to have the GAMBAS Installation Package (Project, Make, Installation Package) procedure, which will already be targeting a specific distribution, add a script to the .deb files to optionally add the PPA and update the repositories so the updated dependencies will be installed instead of the stock distro packages. I don't know much about the Debian package structure, but surely it supports running pre/post scripts? I wonder if when the package installer detects a dependency on Gambas 3.5, but no repo is available, it will abort the install. So I wonder if pre install scripts would be even run?! The user would open the .deb, click the Install button, a script would be run to add the PPA, update the package list, then the .deb would install normally but with access to the updated PPA dependencies. The only thing the user may be required to do is enter their password and press Enter on the PPA prompt, and we may be able to suppress the latter. Another possibility is to have an option when creating an installation package that includes the runtime dependencies of the dev's build environment. Instead of the package pulling dependencies from the target system's repositories it would simply use the included packages. I know that's not the Linux or GAMBAS way, but it's better than using old GAMBAS packages in the user's repositories that may not work at all. Remember, these solutions are for users that either don't know or don't want to know the right way to do things, they just want to run the program. Yet another possibility is to have an option when creating an installation package that would cause the execution of the installed application itself to check the installed runtime

It could even add the PPA, install the dependencies, then remove the PPA. Solutions requiring the automatic compilation from source would be more difficult, as the target environment would need to be set up with build tools first. Solutions adding a PPA would be easier assuming the target environment's distribution version was supported by the PPA. I don't know how reliable the solution including the developer's runtime dependencies would be. IMHO for GAMBAS to properly dominate the world, installing a GAMBAS program really should be as easy as double-clicking a .deb/.rpm and clicking Next, Next, etc. So, is this a problem worth solving, and if so, what does everything think the best solution would be? I think it is worth solving and the best option would be that we get more recent Gambas versions in the official repositories. The second best option is writing the GambasUpdate application in an older Gambas 3.1, so that this can be installed using the outdated official repositories and next when run update to a non official repo running the latest Gambas. -- Kind regards, Willy (aka gbWilly)

When you run a project from the IDE, the libraries it uses are located by using their absolute path, as specified in the 'Libraries' tab of the project property dialog. But when you run the project executable, the libraries it uses then must be located in the same directory. If a library is not found, then it is searched in /bin and /usr/bin as last resort. So, contrary to a component, a library must be packaged exactly like a normal program, so that it is installed in a place where all project can find it. --- A Gambas library installed using a installation package made from library in Gambas IDE is according to me the official Gambas solution. Why? The installation wizard will skip menu entries and such and will always install the library package with .gambas extension in /usr/bin. So the installed library will always be found.

[Gambas-user] A note for Gambas users on Debian or Raspian wheezy using jessie repository for installation
Hi all, As Gambas 3.5.4 has been made available in jessie repository about a month ago (for both Debian and Raspbian), I have updated the instructions to install it on wheezy using a preferences file. Those who used a preferences file for installing Gambas 3.5.2 from jessie on wheezy will see that upgrading to 3.5.4. will not install the binaries gambas3 and gambas3-gb-pdf (all the rest is updated). To make it work the preferences file needs an update as Gambas 3.5.4 is packaged depending on libpoppler46 instead of libpoppler44. So the entry of libpoppler44 should be changed to: Package: libpoppler46 Pin: release n=jessie Pin-Priority: 1050 Now libpoppler46 needs 2 more depended packages from jessie, so two more entries need to be added to the preferences file. Package: libopenjpeg5 Pin: release n=jessie Pin-Priority: 1050 Package: libtiff5 Pin: release n=jessie Pin-Priority: 1050 Next save the preferences file, do an apt-get update and upgrade and both gambas3 and gambas3-gb-pdf should install. I have updated the instructions in the Gambas wiki accordingly. -- Kind regards, Willy (aka gbWilly) http://gambasshowcase.org/ http://howtogambas.org http://gambos.org -- ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user

Re: [Gambas-user] Gambas 3.5.4 and the Stable PPA
On za, 2014-07-12 at 02:38 -0300, Sebastian Kulesz wrote: Hey! Long time no see. I got word a few hours ago that Kendek won't be maintaining the Stable PPA any more. Instead, he created a new PPA under the gambas-team Launchpad name and uploaded the current stable (3.5.3) packages so they can be updated by us. I've seen his PPA has been archived and mailed him. He told me the same. The thing is, I don't have ubuntu installed in my computer as i don't need it to manage the Daily Builds PPA. The problem arises when trying to push Gambas 3.5.4 to the Stable PPA using the same method i'm using for the Daily Builds. To do this, i have to bisect 3 repositories to find the revision which corresponds to the release of the 5.* branch. Right now, this repositories correspond to the next release of Gambas (3.6). So, even if i were to do the bisection and find the working revision, the builds would still differ from the one Kendek made. Could you not simply take from svn 3.5 branch, instead of picking revisions, or am I understanding this wrong? Because of this, I decided not to package this release in the new PPA for now. Different package methods can introduce bugs that should not exist in a stable distribution. Don't get me wrong, with enough time, i know it can be done. But i'm currently studying for finals and time is really scarce. I'm glad you are willing to take up this job, but your finals go first, so we will be patient.:) If anybody is up for the job, please let me know. If it's not too time consuming i will do my best to help get it done. I wish I knew how to package, have been reading about it and was advised to start with simple packages. Packaging Gambas doesn't seem a good point of start for learning how to package debs in general. Next week, once i'm done, i will fix the repositories to also build the Stable releases, but until the next major release I won't label it as stable. I don't want to put extra work where it is not needed. Bad news aside, this move brings the possibility for automatic Beta builds. This ones will be based off the current stable branch, and be updated every time there is a merge from trunk to backport a bugfix. This shortens the window of getting a fix for a stopping bug from months to 24 hours! :) Sounds promising, looking forward to it and thanks for your efforts to get Gambas latest stable available on Ubuntu and its siblings... -- Kind regards, Willy (aka gbWilly) http://gambasshowcase.org/ http://howtogambas.org http://gambos.org -- ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user

[Gambas-user] gb.report question on setting printer to print to
Hi all, I have this situation where I have multiple printers available. Say they are named HP-LaserJet (default) and HP-Color. I do not want a Report Preview but print directly to either one of both printers available to the system. Now most reports I made need to go to the default printer being HP-LaserJet. In Gambas I have a RprtPrintTo1 and RprtPrintTo2 So next code will work and print the RprtPrintTo1 to printer HP-LaserJet (as it is the default): Dim hReport As New RprtPrintTo1 hReport = New RprtPrintTo1 hReport.Paper = Printer.A4 hReport.Print But some reports (like RprtPrintTo2) are specific for the printer HP-Color (not being the default printer). Code below will send it to HP-LaserJet (default) instead of HP-Color. Dim hReport As New RprtPrintTo2 hReport = New RprtPrintTo2 hReport.Paper = Printer.A4 hReport.Print How can I have the report printed to HP-Color? I can't find any property in Report that I can set the printer to print the report to and I don't want to use hReport.Preview. Documentation wasn't helpful either.

[Gambas-user] How to group on reports using gb.report?
Hi All, I have been working with reports now for a while. The examples and some help from Fabien proved to be very useful. I managed porting the most simple reports made in Ms Access to gb.report. But at the moment I'm stuck with something I can't figure out. Since the project is big and data confidential I'll try and explain using some sample data. Imagine I have following data CodeDescription Amount 103 Table 0 103 Table 20 103 Table 12 105 Chair 46 105 Chair 34 106 Bed 0 106 Bed 0 106 Bed 9 203 Pool table 2 203 Pool table 3 I'm trying to group by code and make a total for each group. In Ms Access I based the report on a query that filters out the Amount fields equal to 0. The grouping on the Code field could be done in the report design. With gb.report I have tried all kinds of different combinations of controls and property settings and never managed to get the desired result. I would like the report to like this: Articles produced -- header of the report (only on page 1) CodeDescription Amount -- 103 Table 20 103 Table 12 Total: 32 CodeDescription Amount -- 105 Chair 46 105 Chair 34 Total: 80 CodeDescription Amount -- 106 Bed 9 Total: 9 CodeDescription Amount -- 203 Pool table 2 203 Pool table 3 Total: 5 The number of groups is no fixed number, meaning there can be more groups than shown above. In the reports I need this grouping we are talking multi paged reports. An example doing this would be very helpful and help me get quite some of the left over Ms Access reports ported to Gambas.

Something like the SmallTalk approach. Making a small footprint VM+Linux+Gambas...they're all opensource, we can get rid of everyhing that Gambas dont need...even more, making a ligth weight Gambas or tagging components as portable and others not Say it's a 500MB installer? C'mon my android phone has Hello world like apps that weight 30MB, half giga is 15m download...even here in the ass of the world (small town Argentina) As for porting Gambas, it will be really good. I have the time (but not the brain) to help anyone that joins the party and has the know-how for a start. Sounds like a good idea to me. I'm planning on creating my own LiveCD to allow users to run my game on Windows and OSX. Not a great solution, but there aren't many options that the average user will stomach. For your idea I think we'd need to set up a script or small executable that would: 1. Install VirtualBox. 2. Extract a premade vdi (Virtual Disk Image) containing only what Gambas needs to run its components (probably a lot). 3. Extract a premade vbox file (VirtualBox Machine Definition) so VirtualBox knows about the VM and all its settings. 4. Create desktop and menu shortcuts to launch the VM. I remember Windows had self-extracting executables, like a zip file with an .exe extension. Perhaps there's an open source program that can create those on Windows and then run a script afterward? If so that would take care of everything except creating the Gambas VM. From my experience with doing the latter, the image always ends up around 7-8 GB. I think getting the file size down to 1-2 GB is going to be tough. Hi, That seems like what we try to do with GambOS. It is primarily meant as a learning environment, a Lubuntu 12.04 dressed down of all the excessive applications and with Gambas pre-installed and some guides to start learning. Exporting it to a pre-made Virtual Disk Image gives a .ova file of about 2.6 GB, but I believe that this can be brought down a bit more. Making an installation .iso of GambOS (for those who want to install it themselves) is about 1.2 GB. I have tested importing the .ova file into a Virtual Box running on Widows XP and that worked just fine. So for those running Widows and with little to no know how on Linux, this is an easy approach for running Gambas. If there would be a decent Gambas repository for Debain, I would love to base GambOS on Debian (instead of Lubuntu), so that a Raspberry Pi version of GambOS could be made. This would be a pre installed Debian/Gambas on a SD card. All the ideas are there, but the lack of some needed experts is missing in the project. I'm still hoping for a Debian packager who can make a recent Gambas repository (the Debain ones suck), as all it would take is a ftp location at gambos.org, to put all the stuff and from there all can be installed and updated. But I'm no Debian packager. I still need to buy a Raspberry Pi, to see what is possible there and figure out how to make the OS on SD card. But again, GambOS needs to have a repository with Gambas for that as compiling Gambas is no option. People need to be able to easily update Gambas, not compile every new version, as that seems to take ages on Raspberry. At the moment I'm about the only one working on the project. The initiator of the project somehow got to busy, and the person making the iso has received the latest GambOS.ova to make the iso over a month ago, but I haven't heard of him yet. So the project is kind of stuck and meanwhile I'm attempting to make the iso myself (first run in making an iso ended in a no longer working GambOS VM). If anyone is willing to work with me, that would be great. -- Kind regards, Willy (aka gbWilly) http://gambasshowcase.org/ http://howtogambas.org http://gambos.org -- CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.

The second screenshot is a print preview and that is the result I would need. As you can see the layout of the Dymo Address Label is portrait, the text is printed vertical on the Address Label. As I am porting this application to Gambas, I need to figure out how this can be done in Gambas, as the Dymo Label Writer doesn't have any other options to print this. gb.report doesn't seem to have this possibility and neither does using the printer object. Or maybe they can but I haven't discovered it yet. myPrinter.Orientation = Printer.Landscape This suggestion sets me to think. The Dymo labels are in portrait in the Dymo label printer. So making a landscape label on a pdf surface and next print this in landscape (so actually giving the landscape design a twist to being printed in portrait) could do the job. I'am going to give this a try as soon as I am at work. Yes, sometimes things can be tricky :-) I do think I will try with gb.cairo to see what I can come up with, just curious if that would work.

But I can't remember how it was done. Could you post a simple example? Do you mean a MS Access example of a query based on a query and some tables? 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. I am using Connection.Exec(query) often in the application as there are so many specific things that need to be done (a lot of INNER, LEFT and RIGHT JOINS) that the normal db stuff can't handle (I think). That means a lot of SQL calls in Gambas code, so a bit harder to maintain. But that is okay, as I made a separate file in the Gambas project documenting where in the code I use what SQL calls, so I have some overview of what is going on for maintenance purposed later on. 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'll have a look at how to make these views in MySql (so back to research) and see what I can get working. The queries in question are again quite extensive and with all kinds of JOINS. Thanks for sharing your suggestions and insight. 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. Suggestions are appreciated. hth Bruce -- Kind regards, Willy (aka gbWilly) http://gambasshowcase.org/ http://howtogambas.org http://gambos.org -- CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.

Re: [Gambas-user] Printing text vertically (using printing or gb.report)

It should be possible to make the page (pdf painting surface) landscape: Are you talking gb.cairo component here as you mention a pdf painting surface as I haven't had a go at that. I was playing with the printer object and had a go with gb.reports. myPrinter.Orientation = Printer.Landscape This suggestion sets me to think. The Dymo labels are in portrait in the Dymo label printer. So making a landscape label on a pdf surface and next print this in landscape (so actually giving the landscape design a twist to being printed in portrait) could do the job. I'am going to give this a try as soon as I am at work. Does this help? It runs flawlessly here on my system... If it doesn't react, try setting gb.qt4 instead of gb.gui for the components to load. I had a problem here with it the other day, and I don't know if Benoit has already fixed it. I'm using gb.qt4 in the project so that should be okay. I'll let you know if I managed to get it done. Thanks for the suggestion. Rolf -- Kind regards, Willy (aka gbWilly) http://gambasshowcase.org/ http://howtogambas.org http://gambos.org -- CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.

[Gambas-user] multi document interface
Hi all, Does anyone have a small example of working with a multi document interface. I need one toolbar that works with all opened documents? For example a toolbar with a copy and paste button that can copy a text from one of the opened documents and paste it into an other opened document in the multi document interface. What is the best approach of achieving this? Any suggestions or a small example would be appreciated. -- Kind regards, Willy (aka gbWilly) http://gambasshowcase.org/ http://howtogambas.org http://gambos.org -- CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
