Gambas ONE

I did not mention any ScreenShot methods as they are X11 methods only and will not work on wayland. So just a note: If you use a wayland system you will find you cannot Screenshot areas of the screen like we can in x11. wayland will only ever pop open the desktops screenshot dialog (like pressing Pr...

Thanks, but is also not working, i can't see any editorbox or textbox. Make a sample project showing the problem Andreas and post it here. 1 of 2 things happen when you do that.... Either you find you cannot reproduce the problem in your example program and it helps you find where your main program...

Have a look here, it has already been fixed. https://lists.gambas-basic.org/archive/bugtracker/2025-03/0000064.html That was quick. I am impressed. :D Welcome to the cutting edge of gambas where any problems you find get fixed quickly :) Thanks to Benoit for fixing and thanks to you for reporting, ...

I think we will need an example project.

seems to work as expected here so we need to figure out why it's not for you.

Does the Textbox to edit the fields actually appear?
I suspect editing is somehow broken as you say "nothing happens"

Try this to test it's actually using a textbox...

    TableView1.Edit

  Debug TableView1.Editor

it should print something like..
Form1.TableView1_Click.47: (TextBox 0x565b829f8028)

Maybe its not using a textbox as it also can use combobox?

i just updated to latest gambas and tried this code...

Public Sub TableView1_Click()

 Dim tb As TextBox

  If TableView1.Column = 0 Then 
    TableView1.Edit
    tb = TableView1.Editor
    tb.SelectAll
  Endif

End

Works as expected, text is selected.
I'm not sure why it is not working for you.

I get Tableview.editor is read only. Aah yes sorry i confused it with EditWith method. TableView.Editor is for getting the control used with TableView.EditWith() TableView.Edit Maybe whoever wrote that example can explain what it's doing. I'm guessing it's using TableView default editor that is pro...

But TextBox1 is not created

You must create it.

   Dim TextBox1 As Textbox
  TextBox1 = New TextBox(Me)
  TextBox1.Visible = False

And TextBox1 = TableView1.Editor seems backwards

it should be

TableView1.Editor = TextBox1

You could just make a picture of the text. '' Convert label into a picture, '' use TextSize boolean to make the picture be the size of the text or the picture is a copy of the label as seen Public Sub Label2Picture(hLabel As Label, Optional TextSize As Boolean) As Picture Dim hPic As Picture ' size ...

if you set a gridview columns width to -1 it will auto expand/shrink to fully show the text.

GridView1.Columns[2].Width = -1
