Re: Mounted Drives

The code as is wasn't able to find my Raid partitions. Raid partitions show up as /dev/md[x]. One small change to line 79 allowed your code to find all my partitions, including the Raid partitions. If sDrives[siLoop] Begins "/dev/s" Then changed to: If sDrives[siLoop] Begins "/dev/&qu...

Re: NASA APOD

I had no issues when clicking the "get your key" button. One issue I did run into though is the cache. Because I run a small /Home partition, most everything goes to a large "storage" partition and I then create links in /Home to those. When I seen where the cache was building up...

Packaging Gambas for Debian

The one thing I miss about using OpenSuse was having new Gambas releases within a day or two available for updating through the package manager. Now, being on Debian, I have to wait for many weeks or even months before I see Gambas appear in the package manager. Back when I was on RPM based flavors ...

Re: Gambas sqlite

I haven't created a mySQL db in about 10 years since SQLite is all I've needed for my apps. If you think of ".Host" as a " location " and not just as a path, machine name, or IP address, and use a variable to hold that " location ", you should be able to craft your db a...

Re: How to display a round object?

Interesting. I like playing with old equipment, even if it's just a simulation. 2 issues... Screenshot_20191211_221655.png 1. Good thing I use dual monitors! ;) When FMain's Form Resizable property is set to "False", as you can see I need 2 monitors to hold the app's window. When the prope...

Re: How to display a round object?

Bill, if you send me your image file I can create a new png image for you.

The example image I created using your rotary example is a png with transparent corners.

Re: All my arrays are read-only

Another option is to use a module. I name mine Global so I know that I am using a global variable. You can pass variables to any form with this method without having to declare public variables. Just enter some text in the first textbox then click the button to open Form2. The text you entered in t...

Re: Gridview column header alignment
