Re: Load available printers to a combobox

If you are planning on using gb.form.print you can maybe use the Printer.List property?

ComboBox1.List = Printer.List

Re: Differentiate left and right control keys

Seems you can't do it because it's not a qt key code either the Qt Key class only uses a Key_Control https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qt.html#Key-enum there are ways to do it with the QT api but gambas Key.class does not do anything unusual, it only supports what the toolkit Key class supports in respect to C...

Re: Differentiate left and right control keys

I'm pretty sure they don't m8. (not sure what language that is but i don't think it's gambas)

I only see Key.ControlKey constant

I know you can send with x11 Desktop.SendKey("Control_L")

but there's no way to receive

Key.Code for both control keys are the same and its Key.ControlKey

Re: Differentiate left and right control keys

I don't think it's possible.

The gambas Key.class gives same code for both control keys.

same for Shift

Only Alt keys differentiate as one if Key.AltKey and other is Key.AltGrKey

Re: Creating and reading from arrays

It'll take a little while to adjust from vb to gambas, they are syntactically similar and different in various ways but you'll soon get the hang of it. Maybe something like this is what you need Any local variables declared with Dim are only visible to the local method. global variables are declared...
