Gambas ONE

I think the "Collection" could do with a ".Keys" as well as ".Key" function.... ?

Agree

If you tick "Do not automatically parse URLs" below the posting form, the URL's will display properly inside the code highlighter. (I will sooner or later need to make the plugin skip parsing automatically)

Your code works but the 'TypeOf (v)' is never 'True' so is not called.

I suppose that's because your JSON file does not produce collections inside a collection, as with stevedee?!

I can't get much from the Jornmo example. I tried the following

Try replacing:

If v Is Collection Then

With:

If TypeOf(v) = gb.Object Then

In order to be able to have plain text URLs inside code, and not have them parsed by the forum and turned into HTML, remember to tick off "Do not automatically parse URLs", below the editor, before posting.

As an additional exercise, I spent an hour or two this morning trying to do the same thing with: "https://www.cryptocompare.com/api/data/coinlist/" This collection includes a mixture of strings and collections, and I can't think how to deal with this. I think that should be pretty easy actually. A ...

No, in this example it will not, and that is how it is supposed to be. But, the drawing of you puzzle game form is a bit different from this, and should to my understanding not need a timer, as I have shown with my own code.

Still, this hack was not necessary in the example I made for you, so either there's a bug somewhere, or there's something funny in the way you construct your form (that I cannot see).

For example:

Public Sub Form_Open()
  
  Dim siCount As Short
  
  FMain.Show
  
  For sicount = 1 To 6
    Button1.text = Str(siCount)
    Wait 0.1
  Next
  
  Button1.text = Rand(1, 6)
  
    
End

But, why?

But, its still more of a hack than a proper understanding of the real problem. I think it has to do with in what order Gambas arranges the controls on the form. It might be that for some reason that is not clear, your subs are called in a different order than expected. You can try using breakpoints ...
