My first, and probably only, wikibook.

If anyone can suggest where I might upload the programming examples (about 30 of them, but they fit into a 2MB zip file) I would be grateful. The code can always be copied from the wiki pages. I see an Attachments button below but I'm not sure if this is the place. Thanks.

This will help me big time, I need this. Maybe admins could make a spot for tutorials and examples on the forum for content like that.

Wow! Thanks, Lavos. I hope you can make sense of it. G

Cudos for all that hard work.
Really liked the Function Reference. (and lots of other stuff)
I 'sometimes' do things the hard way, forgetting that there is a small in-built function to do what I need.

Thanks Quin. Appreciate your having looked through it. G

OK the book is now available from Gambas.One and all the example programs are there as well. The book is on the menu bar or click here.

Well done to Gerry!

I haven't had a chance to look at the book yet since I haven't had much Gambas time in the past 3 months. I'm sure I'll be able to learn a lot from it. This is something that has been lacking for Gambas for a very long time. Thanks!

Thanks sholzy/Got2BeFree. We muddle along.

With the latest Gambas, the Tray Icon Notebook (last of the sample programs) is giving an error.
When the form becomes visible with two middle-clicks on the tray icon there is a message saying "Connection already open".
It can be fixed with the addition of one word, TRY, in the sub called ConnectDatabase.

Public Sub ConnectDatabase()

  db1.Type = "sqlite"
  db1.host = User.home
  db1.name = "Notebook.sqlite"
  Try db1.Open 'Form seems to process the Open event when it becomes visible now with latest Gambas. Database may be already connected.

Hi Gerry,
