Gambas ONE

Charlie, Well you are correct and I am not sure what is causing this but I tried out a few ideas and came up with the attached. Note that the MouseUp has been changed to MouseDown and I have created a new 'MessageBox'. I hope it works for you as it took ages to get it to work. I think the problem is...

Charlie, If you run my app, you will see that after the Message Box is clicked the Mouse_Up event is entered again: this is shown by the console output (i.e. it comes up with the Message Box when I click in a point not in a Desktop Window, excluding all of Desktop) when I comment out the Lock & ...

Hi Charlie, I hope that you enjoyed your forklift training. The only time that I drove a forklift (without training but on order of foreman in a vacation job when I was a student and I hadn't even taken any car driving lessons let alone passed a driving test!) I drove it into a masonry column. Lucki...

My question: Obviously I've miscommunicated what I want. I want, when the user selects an overlapping area, the app to select the window which is 'on top'. Your reply: I find this a strange 'want'. I 'want' the window I clicked on and NOT the one that's on top of it. Have a look here. Check out a p...

Charlie, Thanks for the info about the Gambas Farm. Do you find the same problem with Gambas Farm as I do: namely the slow response when scrolling down the app details after a search with no parameters set? There's still a problem on 'overlapping' windows when trying to select a window. Below is sho...

Charlie, Thanks for your hard work correcting my errors etc. You mentioned a farm somewhere. I found it but the response from it is extremely slow when I search it with no parameters: though could be due to my 5+ year old 8GB Barebones Celeron based PC or even my OpenReach's current slow internet co...

Charlie, I haven't yet had time to take a look at those books. In the SelectArea app, I noticed that your version had a Horizontal Panel (in the FMain form) with the Select & Hint buttons. There was a Spring control placed between (connecting?) the 2 buttons. What does it do? I'm now trying to g...

Charlie, Thanks for your invaluable help. I'm not a professional developer: I left programming behind (except for Oracle database coding, and dabbling in Visual Basic when I was a Uni Lecturer, when I became a Business/Systems Analyst decades ago). SelectArea app now works fine. Now moving onto Sele...

Charlie, Thanks for your useful MousePosition app. I still think that the help within Gambas3 when coding a class could be explained better. For example: 1. Screen object: Property X - it uses the term 'Virtual Desktop' without explanation of what means. 2. Drawing Area object: Property Left & X...

Thanks for informative replies. I didn't notice that the Mode command (first line of Capture Sub) was actually a Public Sub written by you! I understood its use after I looked at the Mode Public Sub. I often don't realise that a command calls a Public Sub when the name of it superficially appears to...
