I need to know how to either create an object to where I can attach a list of
variables or how to give myself the ability to do the following:

lets say I want to name my special object: ball.

I want to be able to create special properties for that ball I can access
with .property (or variable)

for example:

ball.speed
ball.solid
ball.item
ball.gravity
ball.life
etc...


I don't mean Gambas, I mean just being able to attach variables to an object
like I mentioned.

I write a lot of games and this is something I need to know how to do or at
least get close to it.  I have read all the docs I can find and I am
probably overlooking it.

Re: [Gambas-user] Programming beginner: first program won't run?


Okay two other things then:

make sure your control names match the names in your code (ie label1 is
actually named label1 on the form etc)
two make sure you dont have the controls set to visible.false on the form.

try this code:

public sub form_open()
label1.visible=true
button1.visible=true
textbox1.visible=true
textbox1.readonly=false
textbox1.text=Hello World!
end

public sub button1_click()
label1.text = Textbox1.text
end


The first section makes sure your controls are visible and that textbox is
not set to readonly (although you shouldn't have to do this as by default
controls are visible and readonly = false), and sets the text of textbox1 to
hello world. You can type whatever you want in the textbox.

The second section assigns any text in the textbox1 to the label1.

Tell me if this runs for you?

 No luck. I even matched the cases (lower case) for the code and
 properties. You can see my code and form in the files I uploaded:

 I figured a program so simple should run... hmmm...

Try just unclicking the gb gui and gb gtk and click QT you shouldnt have to

 It simply says compiling project... as seen 
 http://www.nabble.com/file/p23119198/compiling.png here .
 
 I'm not sure what you mean by project preferences.
 There is a project properties and it says I have these components
 running:  http://www.nabble.com/file/p23119198/properties.png
 properties.png ,
 
 I tried to select the qt and gtk components but it said this: 
 http://www.nabble.com/file/p23119198/properties1.png properties1.png .
 
 I wonder if I need to start a whole new project and enable the qt
 component before doing anything?

[Gambas-user] order of children in container

2009-04-17 Thread jbskaggs


I have a behavior I do not understand-

I have several panels with controls in them.

The controls are numbered sequentially and created in sequential order in
the containers.  My problem is that sometimes the containers count the
controls backwards!

for example:
i = 0
FOR i = 0 TO Fsetupgame.Panel1.Children.Count - 1  ' eleven children
hValueBox1 = Fsetupgame.Panel1.Children[i]' gets the
address of the already existing object
 hd = Fsetupgame.panel14.Children[i]
a = hd.Text
'pfire.Children[i].name = hd.Text
PRINT a, hValueBox1.value
fc = (, fc  i)
IF hValueBox1.Value  0
FOR c = 0 TO hValueBox1.Value - 1 
   fire = (, fc  i  ^  a)
   INC Fsetupgame.firecount
 NEXT 
ENDIF
NEXT

the ouput goes:

textbox11
textbox10
textbox9
textbox8
textbox7
textbox6
textbox5
textbox4
textbox3
textbox2
textbox1

rather than 

textbox1
textbox2
textbox3
and so . . .

Why does this happen?

Re: [Gambas-user] Writing a Choose Your Own Adventure prototype

2009-04-15 Thread jbskaggs


I am not saying goto isnt needed at all-  just that to do what he is doing it
isn't.  Furthermore too many goto's create spaghetti code which becomes
really hard to follow. :)


But I do get what your saying and I have used goto's the same way- though
not in a while.  For me it was when I began to think less sequentially and
more interconnectedly that my code became clearer and my need for goto's
became less.  And it was hard for me to overcome my habit of:

10 input x
20 if x = 0 then goto 40
30 goto 10
40 print yeah
and so on...

I seriously had a hard time grasping that OO was pseudo nonsequential!

 The following is not a true statement:
'Becuase Gambas is object oriented  goto's aren't needed.'
 
 I use Gambas in an OO way and sometimes GOTO is very clear and I use it.
 I also use GOTO when I control to go exactly someplace and (possibly) not
 test or run unnecessary code in-between. 
 I also use GOTO in a soft-real-time (as real as can be).
 
 A whole bunch of GOTO's can be very confusing.
 OO does require planning though.

 Subject: Re: [Gambas-user] Writing a Choose Your Own Adventure prototype
 
 That would be really easy in Gambas!
 

 
 Let me give you a step by step how to do one screen and you can then
 change
 it or redo it how you like.
 
 step 1:
 
 create a form with a textbox, a picture box, and three buttons.
 
 Put your reading selection in the textbox, the image in the picture box
 and
 the three options on the buttons
 
 so button1.text=Open door.
 button2.text=Scream for help
 etc..
 
 Now in your form editor double click one of the buttons and it will take
 you
 to the code page and automatically create an event code:
 
 public sub button1_click()
 
 End
 
 Now between those two lines you would put your code to display a new
 page. 
 You have two options really:
 
 1.  Goto a new form with new controls or
 2. Change the data for the controls (ie the text, the picture, and the
 button labels)
 
 I have done something like this in the past and I stored my texts in
 small
 files.  so my button code looked like this:
 
 public sub button1_click()
 textarea1.text=file.load(user.home / scene1.txt)
 picturebox1.picture = picture.load(user.home / thispic.png)
 button1.text=You have been killed!
 button2.text=Go back?
 Button3.text=Quit.
 End
 
 I will be glad to help you if you want more help.

Re: [Gambas-user] In Plain English- A definition of the Datatypes please?

2009-04-14 Thread jbskaggs

You are correct:)

Thanks for your kind words.

Doriano Blengino wrote:

jbskaggs ha scritto:
Thank you,

I shall search more. One of the problems I find is that many of the
terms
have multiple meanings for example their meaning in mathmetics does not
always equal the definition in gambas or basic and basic terms do not
always
match
terms in other langauges so that finding meanings in wiki or google makes
it
hard- especially when I dont know which one applies.

A good example:

I was trying to find a command that changed the position in the order
that
components were drawn-I found that the command .raise did that- but I had
previously thought the command raise meant to raise the event flag.

English is not the best language to program in- or speak for that matter
because the words have so many different meanings in different contexts.
It
wasn't until I learned a little Greek in bible college how imprecise
English is unfortunately it is the only language I speak with any
understanding.

Uhm... I don't like English, just like you, but perhaps you are too much
critic. There are very precise words in English too, and Raise is one
of them. If you put a control on the top of another, then you are
effectively raising it; the fact in gambas RAISE has also another
meaning is not an English fault (and nor a gambas one: think at raising
an event like to throw it in the air, waiting for someone else to catch
it. This figurates what the things actually are).

Don't be in a hurry - take your time and you will discover, day after
day, that for programming english is as good as many other languages,
and in this very moment English is the mean by which you and me
communicate.

If you have questions about gambas, try to post: someone will reply and
clarify things.

Regards and cheers,
Doriano

 Hi Doriano,
 
   I agree to everything you wrote.
 
 I thought the same about what you wrote! :)
 
  ... Then, recalling to my mind
  the way a person shuffles cards by hand, I tried to 
 express another
  algorithm, which in a certain way lets you to adjust the 
 randomness: a
  person can shuffle very well, or not. But, thinking over, 
 my algorithm
  does not fully respect this situation, because a true 
 player shuffles
  cards in chunks, by taking the last part of a deck and 
 scattering it in
  the middle of the remaining part... If someone wants to 
 write a
  realistic card games, perhaps could consider this.
 
 It could be interesting to define a sort of randomness 
 evaluation, so we could compare several methods or evaluate 
 the efficient limit to use.
 For exemple, you take 1000 in your method but may be 500 
 will be enough?
 I will take a 10 cards' deck as illustration
 I could think about 2 criters:
 1) absolute difference between the initial and the final 
 positions
 2) absolute difference between 2 adjacent items
 
 The first criter is not fair because all the places are not 
 equivalent! the 5th position could not exceed a 5 difference 
 but the 0th position could be 9! So we have to consider the 
 serie 0-9 as a ring were 0 is next to 9, so the maximum 
 difference is 5.
 The same could be said about the second criter!
 
 Now, I will stop to talk about that because it's no more 
 Gambas related :(
 
 cheers

Re: [Gambas-user] A random sort of listview


Hi yourself!  Here is the problem in the code:

FOR i = 0 TO ListView1.Count - 1 ' write items in listview2
TRY PRINT myArray[i]
listview1.MoveTo(myArray[i])
TRY c = listview1.Item.Key
TRY PRINT myArray[i], listview1.item.key , c,  counter i: , i,  total
count: , listview1.Count
TRY listview2.add(c, listview1.item.text) 
NEXT 

When the counter i reaches Listview1.Count -1  it gives an error and does
not write the last record!   I have compensated by writing an extra  dummy
record to the data file- but how do I code this properly to write the whole
list?  I have tried several things and they just give different errors.

Thanks

 I run your code and it works quite fine!
 I think your missing items come from the duplicated keys

Re: [Gambas-user] A random sort of listview


This works much better at getting a more shuffled list!

Thanks

 Apart from the problem of missing records, there could be also a 
 randomness problem in the algorithm... I am really not sure, but it 
 seems that certain slots have more chances to be swapped than other - 
 myarray[0] can be swapped COUNT times, while myarray[count-1] gets only 
 a chance.  I am not sure of what this signifies: it is true that the 
 swap affects the values contained in slots, and not the slots 
 themselves, but anyway there could be another method. One could also do 
 this:
 
 for i = 0 to 1000   ' arbitrary value, large enough (100?)
   c1 = int(rnd(listview1.count))
   c2 = int(rnd(listview1.count))
   swap myarray[c1], myarray[c2]
 next
 
 This way, every slot gets the same chances to be swapped; for sufficient 
 loops, it should make a good job... perhaps more random than before.
 And perhaps, as the algorthm is different, it could solve the problem of 
 missing records (which I didn't understand...).
 
 Cheers,

Re: [Gambas-user] A random sort of listview


You were correct! There was a extra comma in the data file that was breaking
the loop!

BTW to you an everyone else if you celebrate it, Happy Easter! If not ignore
me. ;)

 Hi again :)
 
 May be you did not see the last sentence of my answer wich 
 is written in 3 places? Your code is just fine and I don't 
 have any problem with the ListViews. Of course, I had to 
 initialize the ListView1 with my own data like this:
 
 FOR i = 0 to 21
 ListView1.Add(Str(i), number   Str(i))
 NEXT
 After that, I run your code and all is fine!
 If you have problem, this is therefore with the content of 
 your Listview1. I think it is not correct to have identical 
 keys in a ListView because if I attempt to do it the program 
 stop immediatly. I even don't understand how you could get 
 this situation! Here is what I tried:
 
 FOR i = 0 to 21
 SELECT CASE i
 CASE 0
ListView1.Add(5, number   Str(i))
 CASE 1
ListView1.Add(13, number   Str(i))
 CASE ELSE
ListView1.Add(Str(i), number   Str(i))
 END SELECT
 NEXT
 this code stop with i=5 and say that the key is already used!
 
 Could you make a try with unique keys only?
 Plus, could you run it without TRY?
 
 Hope we could identify the error

 Hi yourself!  Here is the problem in the code:

 When the counter i reaches Listview1.Count -1  it gives an error and does
 not write the last record!   I have compensated by writing an extra

 record to the data file- but how do I code this properly to write the
 whole

 First, is it correct that you have twice the keys 13 and 5

When I ran the code it ran fine- why is it important to have it  count
backwards in the random swap?

ie for i =199 to 0 step -1 instead of for i=0 to 199 step 1?

[Gambas-user] A random sort of listview

2009-04-06 Thread jbskaggs


I came up with a way to random sort listview.  (Iuse this for random
shuffling card slots on games) But it isnt efficient some pointers if you
dont mind?

I use two listviews one to sort from and one to sort to:

I first copy all the listitems from list 1 to list 2 EXCEPT the key for
listview2 items = the integer from my for next loop

eg 
for i = 0 to listview1.count -1 step 1
listview2.add(i, listview1.item.text)
next

then with a for next loop based on the length of list1 I copy the
listview.item key to a string A and listview.item.text to second string B

Then I  calculate a random number the count of listview2 and add that to a
integer C
 thenadd it to listview2
listview2.add(nA, B,,C)   nA creates a key of n1, n2, etc ...


AFter the loop ends

I run a second loop 

and run 
for i = 0 to listview1.count -1 step 1
listview.moveto(i)
listview2.item.delete
next

This gives me a random sorted list in viewlist2 of viewlist1 with no
duplicates etc- 

But is there a more efficient way of doing this?

here is total code:

PUBLIC SUB button3_click()
DIM a AS String
DIM d AS Integer
DIM e AS Integer
DIM i AS Integer
DIM c AS Integer
listview1.Clear 'clears the list
FOR i = 0 TO 199 STEP 1 'number of items to add
  listview2.Add(i, Slot  i) 'adds items to sort to list
NEXT 'next item
i = 0

FOR i = 0 TO 199 STEP 1 'number of items
 e = 0
listview1.MoveTo(i) 'goto item
a = listview1.Item.Text 'get text
PRINT a
d = listview1.Key 'get key
PRINT old key, d
listview1.Item.Delete 'delete item (the cut part of cut and paste)
   e = Round(Rnd(200)) ' make sure old key doesNOT equal NEW Key
   PRINT e,  the randomimzed number

IF e = 200 THEN e = 199
listview2.Add(n  d, n  a,, e) 'adds cut items after randomly
chosen item
listview3.Add(n  d, n  a)
PRINT new key, e
NEXT   'next item down

FOR i = 0 TO 199 STEP 1 'number of items
listview2.MoveTo(i)
listview2.Item.Delete
NEXT 

ValueBox1.value = listview1.Count
END

 Hi,
 
 Let say you want to populate an array with 0-199 randomly
 (please note that I write this directly, so check carefully 
 the syntax)
 
 dim myArray as integer[200]
 dim A as integer
 dim i as integer
 
 FOR i=0 to 199
 A=int(Rnd(200-i))
 ' I think we could use a Swap instruction
 ' instead of the 2 instructions below
 myArray[i]=A
 myArray[A]=i
 NEXT
 
 That's all
 If these numbers was the keys of the initial Listview you 
 just have to populate the second Listview in the new order
 
 Hope this help
 Dominique Simonart
 
 
 Well, never write directly like that!!
 I make some mistake in my sample, here is a new one:
 
 DIM myArray AS Integer[200]
 DIM A AS Integer
 DIM i AS Integer
 
 'initialize the array
 FOR i=0 TO 199
 myArray[i]=i
 NEXT
 
 'Randomize the order of the array
 FOR i = 199 TO 0 STEP -1
 A = Int(Rnd(i + 1))
 SWAP myArray[i], myArray[A]
 NEXT

Re: [Gambas-user] On ver 2.12 Form tool box properties why doesn't valubox have a value property?

Cool- I just learned something.

 I know valuebox has a value property that can be set in code- but why

 there one on the Form designer toolbox? For forms with default values it
 should be there when you are making the controls on the form like textbox

 Was this intentional or just overlooked?

 JB SKaggs
 
 Value is a Variant property, so I didn't put it in the property list used
 by 
 the IDE, as the IDE does not know how to handle Variant properties. 
 
 But ValueBox.Value can take a string instead, so maybe I will find a hack.
 But 
 you will get it only in Gambas 3!

 What is happening with these two different statements?
 
 The first one creates a new textbox object called hTextbox1.  The second 
 creates a new textbox object called myTextbox1.  
 
 The use of h in object variable names is just a convention (h usually

 Some of it can be done pretty easily through shell commands.  You generate 
 your Gambas project (I think it needs to be a whole project, including 
 a .project file, not just a class file), then change to that directory and 
 run these commands:
 
 gbc2
 gba2
 
 gbc2 compiles the project, gba2 makes the executable.  
 
 However, building packages is another story.  You may want to try to copy 
 the package building code out of the Gambas IDE and integrate it into 
 yours... or maybe work on making it into a component to be used by all 
 Gambas programs.

[Gambas-user] Maybe off topic: but have anyone dealt with domain transfer issues?

2009-04-02 Thread jbskaggs


One of my main sites the one I had put the Gambas school on had a domain
registered with siteground. Last month I transferred the domain on 3/19 to
rubyringtech.  The domain was not expired was paid and would not expire
until  the April 1st.

Today siteground somehow refused to transfer my account and so my gambas
school site and some others went down.

Siteground said that I cannot transfer a site with fifteen days of
expiration- that I had to pay for another year just to finish the transfer!

Is this legal or even normal?  I have used webhosting for almost ten years
now and never had anything like this.

SO I paid the registration fee for a domain I paid to have transferred away
from on the 19th- and its not a huge amount of money but it seems well
crooked.

Re: [Gambas-user] We should offer online Gambas courses!

2009-03-31 Thread jbskaggs


I am not saying people should charge for tutorials, I am saying that it would
not be unreasonable if they did. Benoit has done a momentous amount of work
in creating Gambas.  ANd Richard's idea about annodated code is a great one-
except for one flaw.

That flaw is for the beginner without a systematic method of learning the
language the odds are stacked against him /her.

But like I said earlier why not have both?  

SOme people can see an example and go OH that's how it works- and others
need more help.  Good example: Algebra why can't kids just look at the
example and understand it?   Even when the example has comments the children
have a hard time following- but with guided instruction and guided questions
and answers then child is more likely to understand the math.

Same works for adults not everyone does well solo with a textbook.

Plus another problem is when people just cut and paste code without knowing
what all the code is for becuase they are told it does x but in reality it
does xyz.

As far as more work for Benoit I am trying to come up with a way to lighten
the load. :)

I rreally do understand what you are saying, but I think people are thinking
I a looking to replace a current method.  I am not I want to another
resource to the same methods. For the dummies like my self.

 Hi all,
 
 As one of the great unwashed (i.e. less proficient) Gambas users, I must
 say that I prefer Richards approach using annotated code examples at a
 simple level. I don't really feel comfortable with the idea of a paid-for
 tutorial system and feel that 'we' as a user base should freely contribute
 to the project. There is no chance of us ever equaling the stupendous
 contribution of Benoit and to consider charging for any contribution that
 we make is, I feel, not in the spirit of Gambas.
 
 I wrote a small intro tutorial to Gambas which features quite well on a
 Google search. I put it on a Wordpress blog so that I could get some
 stats. It is currently viewed about 300 times a month.
 
 Benoit has also kindly used a program of mine as a Gambas example. The
 examples in Gambas could be extended with a beginners section although I
 could see this ending up as being yet more work for Benoit.

But in Gambas I only have the qt.component selected

This occurs on both gambas 2.11 and 2.12.

Now qtconfig  can change my colors (somewhat) but otherwise I get no change.

Do you mean to change the qt styles?  I will investigate that thanks.

 BUT   ProgressBar1.BackColor = Color.DarkGreen does work.

 Although on TextLabel I can change forecolor but not backcolor.

 Why would that happen?  And how do I fix it?

 Do you use gb.qt or gb.gtk? Some bugs in the Foreground and Background 
 properties were fixed for gb.gtk in the 2.12 version.
 
 Moreover, some Qt/Kde styles do not allow some changes in the color
 properties 
 of some controls. Try to change the style and see if the control behave
 the 
 same, and tell me the result.

[Gambas-user] We should offer online Gambas courses!


I would like to set up a online gambas school where the more experienced
users and coders here could offer an online workshop on Gambas for users.

Make it an affordable cost (Like a $0 to $25 a course, depending on
complexity, length, and time required. A course on making Forms should be
free, but a all inclusive course on writing a mmorpg in gambas should have a
fee attached)  and offer a workshop for different fundamentals:

I know for me a lot of Gambas is intuitive but much of it isn't.

Im thinking it could be setup on a moodle or someother workshop / class
software.  With online lessons and quizzes for free but to get the actual
coding graded it would require a live teacher to grade and comment thereby
why a nominal fee would be justified.  I could even host the moodle site and
help admin it but my programming knowledge is so low I wouldn't make a good
teacher.  But I could help someone setup a course and host it and that
person could charge a reasonable fee to teach the course. (Though in the
spirit of linux the less money the better.)

For example I would be willing to pay right now to be tutored in how to
reference, manipulate, and check objects and controls via code (dynamically
via nested loops and such).  I read the documents- I look at the examples
and still I get the wrong impressions and waste hours and hours on many
different controls or functions.

I helped setup an online bible college and the way it ran was every course
had a different instructor (or most did) and those instructors set their own
prerequisites and graded assignments on their own schedule (within reason).

But the very basic courses were almost entirely automated - no need to have
heavy instructor interaction.  But as the courses became more in depth then
instructors became paramount.  Because students needed to ask questions and
yes other students could answer and even grade (though their gradings were
subject to instructor override.)

I look at the number of basic questions on Nabbles and just think that a
systematic instruction courses would make gambas bloom even more.   

Maybe something like:

1- Setting up your Gambas
 a. download and installation
 b. Defining preferences and intro to Gambas

2- Mastering the IDE interface:
 a. creating projects, forms, simple control, saving, compiling, and
packaging
 
3- Gambas Programming fundamentals: A big unit broken into smaller courses
 a. Forms
 b. Controls
 c. Assignments, Operators, Strings, Numbers, and Booleans
 d. Comparisons, Loops, and nestings
 e. Good programming, coding practices, and the Gambas Programming
language

4. Components: Another big unit
 a. gb
 b. gb.compress
 c. gb.chart etc...

5. FX
a. BMP, JPG, PNG, GIF, etc what they are.  Editing and making them.
b. Animations and movies
c. creating, editing, and sounds and music

6. Application specific courses:
   a. How to write a text editor
   b. How to write a scrolling shooter game etc and so on

and so forth.

And of course offer a Certificates for completing the courses.

I know moodle and setting up the site would be easy- and if someone wanted
to teach a course I could setup the course, forums, and quizzes etc.  I
could make some beginner courses on my own- but I would need help with more
advanced subjects.  

Any thoughts? Objections? Volunteers?

[Gambas-user] Re ferencing existing multiple controls in loops


Okay I have a form with say 50 picturebox controls:

How does one check each controls in a loop?

So if I wanted to have a big picture box reference each of the previous
pictureboxes


In GML I could use this:

a=PictureBox
for i = 0 to 50 step 1
b=ai
BigPicturebox.Picture=b.picture
wait 2
next i

But In gambas I cannot reference a control with a string.  I have tried
dozens of ways and spent eleven hours reading the docs, looking at examples,
and so on.  But the solution eludes me.

It seems really inefficient to type out

Bigpicturebox.picture=picturebox1.picture
wait 2.0
Bigpicturebox.picture=picturebox2.picture
wait 2.0
Bigpicturebox.picture=picturebox3.picture
wait 2.0
Bigpicturebox.picture=picturebox4.picture
wait 2.0

etc... fifty times

I am using pictureboxes but it could be any existing control I would want to
control from another event.

Re: [Gambas-user] We should offer online Gambas courses!


Well the thing about moodle sites is you dont have to be there all the time
you'd only be notified if a student registers and or submits something.  

Setting up the courses would be tougher as the most time intensive part is
creating the quizzes and writing the course text- the Gambas docs can be
used but would need more intense commentary, example and explanation.

 I tried something similar @ our vectorlinux forums where I offered to help
 anyone as much as I could get on the road with gambas.
 
 Did not pick up a whole lot of interested people, as I remember, only 2
 people really got into it. One of them was able to write an application.
 The other one was getting really deep into the documentation before he got
 to the IDE, and something happened in his family, so he dropped it.
 
 I like the idea, I really think there is definitely a market for gambas in
 linux development, but dont expect to get a whole lot of interest. And i'm
 not being pesimistic, but rather realistic.

 Personally I think the samples should be part of a gambas program - an 
 overview of gambas like I said wxPython demo does - and not part of a web 
 site.  I think there needs to be two parts of this
 
 1) More detailed examples in the documentation wiki even for really simple 
 things
 
 2) Complete code examples as part of a larger demo included with the 
 distribution of Gambas, and maintained as part of the source code in svn
 
 That way, if you or I get run over by a truck it is still there.
 
 Ive never experienced much joy looking for code on websites - it tends to
 be 
 fragmented, difficult to maintain and I don't really want to contribute to
 it 
 if that is the format.
 
 I enclose a screen dump of a very simple one for beginners (my code may be 
 bad - so if so you can fix it), which shows the concept I think would
 work, 
 and could be included as part of a whole demo. I've others I've done.

Here is the website I set up: http://gambas.wwmkr.com/

I have the front page setup and one course setup an intro to Gambas using

This is to get an idea of could be done.

[Gambas-user] Please help with color problem!

2009-03-29 Thread jbskaggs


I have asked this before, but I cannot change colors on may controls like
Textlabel, or Progressbar

for example:

ProgressBar1.ForeColor = Color.DarkGreen

This does nothing the bar remains black this happens with many of my
controls in Slackware 12.2 but not Ubuntu 8.1.

BUT   ProgressBar1.BackColor = Color.DarkGreen does work.

Although on TextLabel I can change forecolor but not backcolor.

Why would that happen?  And how do I fix it?

[Gambas-user] SPawing pictureboxs

2009-03-28 Thread jbskaggs


I want to be able to spawn a series of indentical pictureboxes then if I
click on an individual pixturebox get it to run code for that picturebox.

I can genrate the pictureboxes just fine with the =new picturebox but then I
cant use the picturebox with Public sub picturebox_mousedown() command as I
would a picturebox I drew.  How would I go about doing that and giving the
pictureboxes unique names that I can use with the mouse.

So could somebody give a little example that generates  three or four
identical pictureboxes and how I can use the _mousedown or _click events?

Pretty please:jumping:

Re: [Gambas-user] Missing Component Directory in Ubuntu and Debian packages


gb-sdl and gb-sdl-sound are two seperate components and should have their own
directories.  I discovered this by accident when I ran Gambas on slackware
and noticed it installed sdl-sound seperate form sdl.

And sdl.sound component did not work on my Gambas package or the debian
package and Benoit said they should have seperate directories and to ask the
package makers.

So I have. :)

[Gambas-user] Gambas and Aspell

2009-03-12 Thread jbskaggs


Could someone post me an example of using apsell with an textedit box?

I asume I would save a tmp file run aspell and then reload the changed file.

but when I try and call aspell from shell I get weird errors.  

Does anyone have experience running aspell from a shell?  If so how do I
pass on quotes properly? I assume that's the problem.

[Gambas-user] Strange error in Embedder

2008-10-16 Thread jbskaggs


Okay I have an embedder working to embed Open Office- But a couple of users
of the program get this error:

Wanted Pointer [] got integer

I cannot duplicate this on my system and my other users don't get this
error.  

Here is the code:

PUBLIC SUB Presence_Embed(windowTitle AS String)
  DIM key AS Pointer[]
  DIM i AS Integer
  WAIT 3.5 'time to allow OpenOffice to load
  key = Desktop.Find(windowTitle)
  i = key[0]
  Embedder1.Embed(i)
  Embedder1.SetFocus
  Embedder1.Visible = TRUE
END

What could be causing this?

[Gambas-user] Html versus RTF format in TextEdit

2008-10-13 Thread jbskaggs


In Gambas 2.5 I could not get .rtf files from Abi or Openoffice to load into
Textedit properly.  But TextEdit loads HTML very nicely.

Am I to assume that for rich text editing we are to use to HTML/XML format
and not the *.rtf format generated by word processors?

If Textedit can properly read and parse *.rtf how do I set textedit to do
this?

Because for now it displays all the style settings etc as text.

For th time being I am using the html/xml format, but RTF would seem a
better option.

Thoughts anyone?

Re: [Gambas-user] embed OpenOffice

2008-10-13 Thread jbskaggs


Okay I have both Abiword and Openoffice embedding properly. The issue was a
missing space at the end of the window name.

Anyway now both of the applications while running as embedded features do
not respond to the mouse properly.  You have multi click or rick click and
cancel to get the curser on either program to move to the new location and
the scrollbars do not respond to the mouse.

Is that normal for embedded objects?

JB

 I can get Abiword to embed.  Openoffice is still giving me a fit.  I got

 OpenOffice specifically did their window names like this to keep people

 I have tried searching by both window classes
 by the strings open, office, text, etc
 by the window id
 All I ever get is a out of bounds error
 
 here is my code: (which works great with Abiword)
 
 PUBLIC SUB Presence_Embed(windowTitle AS String)
   DIM key AS Pointer[]
   DIM i AS Integer
   WAIT 3.0
   key = Desktop.Find(windowTitle)

   DIM iWindowInfoArray AS Integer
  SHELL ooffice -writer   Quote.Shell(FChandScn.htmlpath)
Presence_Embed(text)  this is where I tried
 the various strings to search by

 You can use xwininfo to look at window information. xlsclients -al
 shows many informations about windows.

 On my PC I did this test after launching openoffice:

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root$ xlsclients -la
 Window 0x1c5:
   Machine:  doripc
   Name:  mrxvt
   Icon Name:  mrxvt
   Command:  mrxvt -xft -xftfm FreeMono -xftsz 11 -vb -geometry 90x30
   Instance/Class:  mrxvt/XTerm
 Window 0x12a:
   Machine:  doripc
   Name:  kicker
   Command:  kicker
   Instance/Class:  kicker/Kicker
 Window 0x41:
   Machine:  doripc
   Name:  Mozilla-Thunderbird
   Icon Name:  icedove-bin
   Command:  icedove-bin
   Instance/Class:  icedove-bin/Icedove-bin
 Window 0x1a1:
 ''  Command:  /bin/sh /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice


 Now I see that the window 0x1a1 is the window I am interested in, so
 I issue:

 doripc:~# xprop -id  0x1a1
 WM_COMMAND(STRING) = { /bin/sh, /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice
 }
 WM_CLIENT_LEADER(WINDOW): window id # 0x1a1
 _KDE_NET_WM_USER_CREATION_TIME(CARDINAL) = 3979416247

 ...just to discover that that window seems not to have a name...

 So, while a common method to find a window was Desktop.find() (look at
 previous messages in this list), this time may be that doesn't work.
 Perhaps you can 'SHELL xlsclients -la TO sXls', and then parse sXls to
 find out the window ID. Desktop.Find() can be used to get all the
 windows,
 but then don't know how to get more information. One way could be to
 execute a find, then launch openoffice, then do a find again to see what
 window has been added...

 Hope this could help.

 Doriano.


 
 You have to look at the window class:
 
 $ xprop
 click on the OpenOffice window
 ...
 WM_CLASS(STRING) = VCLSalFrame.DocumentWindow, OpenOffice.org 2.4
 ...
 
 Desktop.Find can look for a specific window class with its second
 argument. I 
 don't know if it works in that case, because apparently the OpenOffice
 window 
 has two classes!

[Gambas-user] Semi noob question for Best way to do something.

2008-10-08 Thread jbskaggs


I have written an app in gambas that is generating a little bit of interest
in the linux world.  But I have two features I wish to add, that I am not
sure how to implement in Gambas.

My app is a writer's app.  As such I would like to have a way to have my app
be able to upload and download posts to and from a secure forum.  Ie the
prog would upload a text, then download comments on the text, and upload
replies etc.

the second feature  I would  like to add is a mapmaker. And then be able to
export the graphical maps to a pdf file.

I have written the mapmaker before in windows under gml  but I am not sure
how to do so using gambas.  Basically just having a background layer that
the user can then choose and add small graphics or text on top then export
the total.

Maybe if someone could point me in the right direction?

Re: [Gambas-user] Feature request

2008-09-10 Thread jbskaggs


Sure-

When I make a package release for say ubuntu, mandrake, debian, fedora, etc
and have gambas IDE make all the packages. It places all the make packages
in one single directory.

When I try and make the packages at seperate times it changes the release
number which really complicates tracking the software.  And its a pain to
manually go back and either change the release number or to try and copy out
which files go with which packages and cut and move them.  (I almost always
end up losing or missing files)

If there was a way to have the IDE request a directory for each different
package:

Right now the IDE asks for one destination directory, but if I could have it
ask for a destination dirctory for each type of linux chosen that would help
alot.

Example:

so for ubuntu I could choose: /home/distro/ubuntu

for fedora I could choose: /home/distro/fedora

etc

does that make sense?

Could somebody write how to create a distribution package of my application

I dont have Gentoo but I have requests on how to install my program on

I'd assume the easiest way would be for them to install Gambas 2.5 and
compile my Source code.

But is there a more professional way?  Mind you I am a newbie.

Re: [Gambas-user] [29]invalid object. ValueBox.Warning.Timer.410


I think I understand what I did. When I switched from gtk to qt I did not
recreate all the controls.  I mistakenly thought I could just switch
compnent library and the IDE would know the difference.

So now I am back to using GTK and having to restart on my printing problems
or recreate all my controls in qt.

I feel like an idiot.

Re: [Gambas-user] [29]invalid object. ValueBox.Warning.Timer.410

So the error was not caused because I just switched my component library
without changing the actual controls on the form?

For example I drew a text area in gb.gtk then switched to gb.qt but did not
recreate this textarea control I just left the textarea I created in GTK.
Is that what caused the crash? Becuase I don't get it in GTK.

Where can I find more about this bug?

This is a bug I just have fixed. You will get the fix in the 2.8 version.

Re: [Gambas-user] [29]invalid object. ValueBox.Warning.Timer.410

Okay so in my case the bug is called by the gb.qt.ext printer component?
That is the only .ext component I have.

How long before 2.8 comes out?

I am wondering if I should find a work around for the printer until the 2.8
comes out.

Unfortunately I released this program for beta.

You can switch between gb.qt and gb.gtk without having to change anything
in
your project, provided that you don't use the gb.xxx.ext components.

Otherwise, if you find a different behaviour between gb.qt and gb.gtk,
then
this is most of the time a bug.

You didn't get a crash with gb.gtk because I think that the LostFocus
event is
not raised the same way in gb.qt and gb.gtk. This can be called a bug.

Where can I find more about this bug?

What do you want to know? The bug is fixed in revision #1473.

  I am wondering if I should find a work around for the printer until the
  2.8 comes out.
 
  Unfortunately I released this program for beta.

 A workaround is to be sure that the focus is not on a ValueBox when its
 window is closed.

 Regards,
 
 More precisely, you must do something like that in the Form_Close event 
 handler:
 
 AControlThatIsNotAValueBox.SetFocus
 WAIT ' Mandatory, to be sure that The ValueBox receives its GotFocus event 
 before the form is closed.
 
 Tell me if it works.
 
 Regards,

[Gambas-user] I finished my basic module.


Well I finished my basic module of my first serious Gambas Project and posted
it to qtapps and freshmeat for usage and beta testing.  I am hoping people
like it.

It is a program for writing novels.

Even though there are a lot of features I need to add I have finished my
first major release.

if anyone is interested they can see the program and source code at
http://www.wwmkr.com. 

Would love anybodies comments.

JB

[Gambas-user] [29]invalid object. ValueBox.Warning.Timer.410


Help! My program was running fine then suddenly and unexpectedly it started
this:  It does it at seemingly random times.  The only difference I have
done was to switch from GTK to QT for printing purposes.

http://www.nabble.com/file/p18551527/bugScreenshot.png 

What does this mean?

Re: [Gambas-user] [29]invalid object. ValueBox.Warning.Timer.410


Okay it has caused my computer to reboot.

I ran the program in terminal and here is what it showed:

ValueBox.WarningTimer.410: #29: Invalid object
0: ValueBox.WarningTimer.410
1: ValueBox.TextBox_LostFocus.375
Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 

Any idea what this means?
