Re: Can GAMBAS be an alternative to Visual Basic (or maybe Visual Foxpro)?

VisualFBEditor can be used on Windows and Linux as it uses the same component system as Lazarus. https://github.com/XusinboyBekchanov/VisualFBEditor https://pigalore.miraheze.org/wiki/Running_Gambas_Programs_in_Windows That must be a lot of research behind this two line post... Thank you very much ...

Re: Can GAMBAS be an alternative to Visual Basic (or maybe Visual Foxpro)?

I'd say your best chance is to find an OBCD driver for dbase and use that. (Actually, I'd really say dbase? Is that still around? and if so why?) Having said that let me now say "ODBC" is the worst possible way to access a database." You could learn how to write Gambas code to access...

Re: New to Gambas.. seek some help

that's just a trick. It's about numeric input not formatted text. No... I didn't understand. Sorry, let me explain... Suppose, I want to use Value Box to get user input for: 1. Rate of unit, there user should only enter value with 2 decimal places, not 3 or 4. like.. 2.25, not 2.258 2. Quantity (De...

Re: Can GAMBAS be an alternative to Visual Basic (or maybe Visual Foxpro)?

Good to have your input Bruce. Thanks for the detailed response and time. I (as said already) appreciate your dedication and efforts to support GAMBAS. I installed it just a few days back and had a quick look.. If I can say I loved (not liked) it.. I appreciate everything about it. The post is not a...

Re: New to Gambas.. seek some help

Q. How to configure valuebox to accept / not-accept decimal places? 3. With valuebox set it's Type property to the format you want then setting the Value property should be automatic displayed.

Re: Can GAMBAS be an alternative to Visual Basic (or maybe Visual Foxpro)?

In reference to my post above, I would like to add that: The only Con I find in GAMBAS is that I can't compile my applications for Windows (if it's considered a drawback). Everything else is too good, I mean it's too good overall. I can't make a compiler, but write code in GAMBAS, make controls work...
