Thanks for all replies! I just wanted to get the timezone offset so that I could adjust the hour parameter in the Date-function to reflect my local timezone. Here is the code snippet that I finally ended up with: Dim tDate As String = Format$(Now, "yyyy-mm-ddThh:nn:sstt") Dim sDate As Str...

Maybe this will help get you started.... It has a DrawingArea It selects a random desktop background image to use as the background then it loads the gambas bug pic as the sprite.

You know we are not the gambas development team right?
We don't make gambas and can't do anything about what you are asking.

If you want gambas to do something different like show Network folders you should ask the main developer.

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.
