Gambas ONE

Tiberius, welcome to Gambas. I also came from enjoying VB6 for years, and missing it terribly. Gambas is a godsend. I played around with your functions and i got them to work. I had to take some liberties to change things around a bit. For example, "Temp" is already a built-in function in ...

I tried you program and the spinner did keep spinning while it was running, but it stopped after I got about 100 errors in the console and the text area. testSpinner:26163): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 14:33:22.484: gtk_text_buffer_emit_insert: assertion 'g_utf8_validate (text, len, NULL)' failed then it stop...

I don't use the spinner control in my applications. But this thread caught my attention due to the suggestion of using "Task" to remedy the OP's problem. I use "Task" extensively. For living room super-computing, its a godsend. Out of curiosity, I threw this code together to see ...

Ok, I'm using Linux Mint 18.3. The first line of the program entered is "Static Function TextHeight(Text as string) as Integer" which gives error "Unexpected Static in FMain.Class:4." I also got an error on a line "Draw.ForeColor = Color.Black" I changed this one to re...

This Youtube user has about 20 or 30 Gambas tutorial videos (scroll down a bit to find them). The videos cover all the basic functionality and controls, so they're probably exactly what you're looking for. They're fairly old, using Gambas 2. But the basic functionality should be the same. https://ww...

@Godzilla, This is another area that I'm glad someone is tackling. I used to do this in C# but am still too new in Gambas and am still catching up yet. This is huge (as in 'important'); Keep up the good work! 8-) Steve Hey Steve, thank you for your reply and interest. Yes, S/D is really nothing new...

Hi Godzilla, I must say I find this a quite interesting concept you've been working on. Could you post the application with all added corrections so I can have a closer look at it all. I might have some good use for it in one of my projects. And thanks for figuring it all out ;) Hey gbWilly, thank ...

Hey all, I wanted to pass along some important info regarding object serialization/deserialization (S/D), for anyone who may be using it. I don't know if its a bug, per se, but its something that resulted in seemingly random corruption of the binary files, in which serialized objects were being writ...

Thank You, Godzilla, for continuing to shine a light on this area. 8-) As Gambas users figure out ' when ' to use multi-processing, hopefully much of the ' how ' will be demonstrated by folks like you. Hey sjsepan, thanks for your reply and for your interest in this. I had a lot of fun working on t...

For anyone interested, I've been continuing my research into using multi-processing using all available cores, Previously, I came up with a way of communicating post-processed data from detached Task processes back to the parent Gambas program, making multi-processing into something usable. But I wa...
