Re: Global Variables
There is one exception. If you assign a local variable to a global variable in a form or a class then the auto-complete does not work. ' Gambas class file Private MyLocalVariable as string = MyGlobalModule.SomeVariable ' Auto-complete does not work Public Sub Form_Open() Dim MyLocalVariable as strin...

Re: Global Variables
Do yourself a favour and don't name your modules too long - it gets very stale, very quickly, having to type MyFunkySpecialModule.{my variable} I went full 1980's and named my two main modules: AV { application variables } - just global variables AG { application global } - Global functions and rout...

Re: reseting the text in a textbox
This is a routine that I use to prepare the controls on a form for validation. The passed container is normally a panel or frame which contains all the 'maintenance' controls. {text boxes, text areas, combo boxes, checkboxes etc...} It will then recursivity search for controls and then set their cho...

Re: Did you know? - For Writers
If you wish to clean up the text imported from a document created in open office format (the only ones I've tried) then this will remove all of the punctuation, dialogues tags and other formatting codes so that you can write analysis functions on the remaining text. I'm 'trying' to create a Gambas a...

Document View - How do you add documents?
It will be simple and obvious but for the moment it's eluding me !
How do you add a document to the view?
I can set 'blank' documents or placeholders for them by setting the count parameter,
but can't find a process to load or add a document.

Re: Toolbar problem
Additionally: Found something interesting. I had an existing 'tool bar' and added a spring and it did not work in the way I expected. When I checked the hierarchy tab in the GUI, I found that the spring was last on the list for the container. ( a panel in this case) I moved the spring up to where it...

Re: Toolbar problem
Hi Cogier,
Unless I have misunderstood the problem, this worked for me on Mint 20.
Added a toolbar to a form.
Added several toolbuttons and a single checkbox, seperated by a spring.
Ran the test and they were spaced as required.
Have I missed something ?

Re: Calling Subs/Funct in other Modules
Two lessons I leant about modules. 1. Modules load alphabetically so be careful of dependencies if you are cross referencing variables or routines between them. 2. Keep Module names as short as practicable. My projects tend to have three modules. AE, AG and AV AE = Application Error Management - whi...

Re: Colour button not displaying colour
Thanks PJ,
I was using the QT4/5 component - then changed over to the qt5 and still not working.
given that it's working for you then I'd say it's a "me and my machine problem"
Thanks again for helping out.
