Gambas ONE

So something like this... to convert your "YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH:MM:SS"Z format.. gambas expects utc dates to be american format and time separated by a space. so to make it gambas compliant Date object we need to remove the T and Z and jumble the date values around to be like "mm...

and Format?
Format will convert local time from UTC

And if you need to show the timezone there is t or tt

See Format() command
https://gambaswiki.org/wiki/lang/format

Also see Date() command as you don't really want to be running shell timedatectl when gambas has built in date functions.

There is lots of info in the gambas help system. https://gambaswiki.org/wiki

I guess it comes down to Len() being a built in function and String.Len() being in the "handler of utf-8 strings" String.class from gb.util With your logic then theoretically also Mid() and InStr(), etc would be expected to work UTF-8 strings too? But no I think it makes sense. As it stand...

I am using the Bicycle icon from stock but can not find the path to it. It says" icon:/32/bicycle" on PictureBox Picture column. Confused@Cliofuse :geek: It's Stock. Stock class uses a mix of the system icons and some built in gambas ones. the icon:/ path links internally to gb.form.stock...

Ok Thank you @BruceSteers So don't I need a Drawing Area over PictureBox then. Hope im not vague again .me a beginner :D No a PictureBox shows a picture that you create using paint methods. (you can also use Paint.Begin(PictureBox1.Picture to edit the picturebox's picture directly) Or you could use...

'This is the code but not working :shock: ----------------------------------------------- ' Gambas class file ' This code assumes you have a form named "Form" with a PictureBox named "PictureBox1" representing the game board. ' Inside the PictureBox, you have a Label named "...

Hmm you need to read the wiki on how to use Paint.class. that code is pretty far out. Ironically I wrote a snake game that uses a picture box last year. So you've come to the right place for help :D https://forum.gambas.one/viewtopic.php?t=1671 I'll have a look at you code later when I finish work 😎

Embed it in another picture object

Or
Change the PictureBox.Picture.X and Y

Or If you want more detailed less vague answers ask more detailed less vague questions.

Or post the code/project with details of what you need.

... or make your dots an array that the Draw event paints the same array each time. Ouch! That was like a wake up slap - duh - :mrgreen: ! Haha. I think your main problem was thinking the Draw() event and refresh do little bits. But no , the refresh triggers the Draw event for a complete draw. know...
