Re: Offline documentation

Just discovered my offline documentation is out of date. Hit the button to install the updated version and it promptly throws up a message bot saying "Unable to uncompress documentation". Where is it trying to download and uncompress to and I'll look to see if it's a permission problem. $...

Re: Am I missing something?

Thanks, for your reply, Bruce. Bare with me... my 62 year old brain works a little slower these days... So, I'm not missing a MediaPlayer form in the toolbox and MediaPlayer is only created by code? I haven't done much digging yet into the audio part of my project. Some of my security cameras have ...

Re: Debian and Gambas (long read)

I replied on the M/L Willy the free option of packagecloud could be worth looking into. https://packagecloud.io/pricing/ that could be your own storage and anyone else could access it too :) I'm working on a tarball with the repo and some instruction on how to set it up. I will provide some download...

Re: How do I write multiple statements on a single line?

Re: Manic Minutes

Cool :)

How long does it take to create something like that?

I remember back in the day I made an animation using a cine camera and plasticine.

Re: Get X,Y coordinates from inside the DrawingArea

Ps.
I know you didn't need it but in that first example it would be easier to do this...

Public Sub DrawingArea1_MouseDown()

  Dim da As DrawingArea = Last

End


In any Event the Last keyword points to the calling object.
so in a drawingarea mousedown event Last is the drawingarea
