Anyway, to create variables in yet another module, so ones have three files to do a single thing, is just the best way to mess up everything. First up, one generally does not write a GUI application to do one single thing so creating a public variable in some module should not be a major issue. Second, someone else will have to tell you if there is a method other than what I describe; I looked for days and found nothing. I tried for many hours and failed to get it to work. When the Close() method is called by the modal window, the window instantly commits Harakiri and invalidates itself, so even if you instantiate a form inside a form variable, the window is instantly dereferenced the moment Close() executes. Gambas should not do that, IMO. The form should stay accessible to programmer via the variable until the programmer destroys it, or until the method that created the form variable terminates. I know it isn't kosher OO behavior, but what do you want from Gambas? Is having kosher OO more important than being able to choose not to have to learn C++, Pascal, or Java? -- Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
Re: [Gambas-user] Really dumb question about dialog forms
if you do not calm kadaitcha man you gonna get fired from this mailing list. I have not used it but you are insulting and it is not necessary. I would simply point out to you that all your intervention are not necessarily very bright Also if this is not to answer the question ... It is wiser to shut up! To Richard: Static Public sValue as string Public Sub Run () As Boolean Return Not Me.ShowModal () End Public Sub btnOK_Click () sValue = TextBox1.Text Me.Close (True) End Public Sub btnCancel_Click () Me.Close End MyForm.Run if () then Print MyForm.sValue endif In this case sValue is static and can be called as if the class was a module. This is useful in this case among others. But for example if you were more instances of the same class (not in modal mode), and that each instance fesait Appeal sValue ... then you might not know the result ... sValue is common to all instances. As if MyClass was a separate module. That's all and not really a stupid question.

2009/12/12 Kadaitcha Man nospam.nospam.nos...@gmail.com: 2009/12/11 Fabien Bodard gambas...@gmail.com: Static Public sValue as string Public Sub Run () As Boolean I knew there was a reason not to use your method and to make the recommendation I did. If you tested that code then I presume you did it in gb3 and not gb2. Gambas 2 either crashes out with a SIG 11, or in some unfathomable instances, when the form is closed, it drops into debug and complains about the pending destruction of a public static variable. Furthermore if the form is instantiated in a variable of type Form then you cannot access the public static by referencing the variable as a property in the instanced form type variable; the only way to get to the value of the public static is directly from the class itself, like this: DIM ff AS NEW Form1 IF NOT ff.Run() THEN PRINT Form1.sValue ENDIF In short, Fabien, as far as I can tell, the only way to make it work correctly in gb2 is to do it the way I originally said to do it. Of course I'm open to being shown to be wrong. in fact you are right in the vb way ... but not it OO way... And gambas is more in the OO one and since the begining. For the return problem ... there is not problem as the run procedure can return the value. You can use a public variable in a module too Private sValue as string STATIC Publc Run() as string if not me.showmodal then return return sValue END dim s as string s = fForm.Run if s then print s -- Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user -- Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user

Hi List, My really stupid question for the week.
