Gambas ONE

Seems as if I've solved the problem from way outside the box (no pun intended). I just made the buttons for the register letters larger than they would have been to include the short marker line and overlay a picture onto the button that covers the four "skirts" of gray nicely. Are any of ...

I'm using QT5 and QT5 Extension. I don't see anything about transparent for a picturebox, though. I've been trying all morning to make the four corners (the areas in Gray) transparent, but haven't had any luck. I'm not proficient in Gimp enough to extract the circular switch and leave the rest trans...

I'm creating a control panel and can't seem to find any way to display a round image. The image is one of a rotary switch (with a white dot as an indicator) with small hash marks at the stopping points around the periphery (outside the image). I am using a PictureBox and setting "Picture" ...

I agree completely about Global. Every one of my VB programs had a Global.bas module in it. I also put my Utilities in another and the Communications (if any) in another. It was during the initial translation process I got tangled up in the intricacies of different methods for different languages. I...

. . . . The great thing about programming for personal use is that you can please yourself. How right you are, Stevedee. I went over all the switches in the project properties and never once tumbled to the "make controls public". I bet I read it 10 times. What I'm doing is converting a ra...

Ok. I've moved everything into a single Main module. The arrays are STILL read only at runtime. EDIT: (two hours later). I seem to have found the answer. I added a "new" following the "As" and now I can refer to them as both read and write. Now, if I can just figure out how to re...

I've been working on a database project and have come across something I can't solve. I have declared (in a separate module) the following: Public arrName[4000] As String In my Main form coding, I can reference this array just fine. The program compiles and runs with no error except when I try to pu...

My motto: If it works, don't <mess> with it.
