Re: Dynamic hierarchy

To re-order the controls you will need to have them in a container - A Panel is well suited to this. I use something similar to set tool buttons in a horizontal panel - This example is set for a vertical sequence. {As per your example} If you want to centre them in the panel, you can use Ctrl.X = (I...

Very Basic Spell Checker

I've been trying to create a basic spell check for a larger gambas project I'm working on, and this is what I have so far. It's clunky but workable (for a given value of workable :roll: ) It uses the command line tool 'spell', which is part of ispell application from what I understand. The attached ...

Re: Exec & Shell

Thanks guys. @ Bruce - The Gambas Quote function has failed on every SQL statement I've used it on so far, so my confidence is somewhat lacking. I'll have another look to cover all bases, but I'm not confident. @Cogier. I'm using LibreOffice but have always used the soffice application for command l...

Exec & Shell

Greetings all. I'm trying to run an Open office command line instruction using Exec or Shell. It's not working, but if I run exactly the same command from the terminal, it works as required. The process uses 'soffice' to convert a writer document (.odt) file to a txt file. Terminal command: soffice ...

Re: SQL Advice

Hi Andy, Is there any reason why this needs to be a TinyInt? From what I can understand on the SqLite web site, an Integer and a TinyInt storage space on disk is a byte more. Unless you are transacting M's of records, then it should not make that much of a difference. If transaction time is critical...

TextEditor Selected text font.

Is there a way to set the selected text to bold or italic ? As far as I can see, you can only set the font to the whole document. What I would like to do is select a single phrase in a sentence and set it to italic only. From what I understand, the Gambas code editor is made from this component but ...

Re: Gambas Project Folders & Files

Yeah, it does make a difference.
I've spent some time looking for a error only to find out I'd capitalised something in a file/folder name.
That's one of the main reason I prefer setting up dotted references. - Do it once, do it right.

Re: Gambas Project Folders & Files

Thanks Bruce. .Public sounds like the place to be root for all the folders I want to create. That makes it easier for my folder creation routine as well. I have a class that I instigate as 'Folder' from the main module. I assign various paths based on need so I can get dotted reference to the folder...

Gambas Project Folders & Files

I want to create a set of folders to store various types of data in my Gambas project area. Is there a 'best practice' location to create these folders or is it just the project root? This question is more around creating installation packages and where application data should go. Anybody able to fi...
