Gambas ONE

@brucesteers If I wanted to clear the DrawingArea, what's the process? Some reading [1] led me to believe that the .Clear method would be the answer but it doesn't do what I expected: Public Sub btnClear_Click() clearform = True DrawingArea1.Clear DrawingArea1.Refresh End I even tried setting the .C...

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. Exactly! I initially only had the redraw in the inner loop but thought maybe I needed more - ;). Thanks for your help. Really appreciated. Chee...

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 - !

Hey Bruce, I've modified my code as you had it above and noticed that the DrawingArea refresh several times when loses or gains focus and on form resize. Is this something that can be overcome? As it currently stands, it's not ideal for what I'm planning to do with it. The PictureBox is already gain...

Depending on the application it can be better to use a simple PictureBox and use paint functions to paint the picture. Like I say it depends on the application, sometimes a DrawingArea is prefered , sometimes a Picture A PictureBox can be easily manipulated and things added to it, PictureBox1.Pictu...

I've got this simple program that I'm trying to create randomly colored dots in the drawing area but all I get is the first dot (when program loads) and the last dot (after clicking the button). How do I make is to that I get to see randomly colored dots across the entire DrawingArea? To make the do...

I bet we are all wondering what the question was...

I taught myself GAMBAS over a weekend (previous VB 6 fan here and most likely showing my age - :oops: ). Having never heard of the eight-queen puzzle, I was intrigued by the recursive method I spotted in the book Programming in Lua which is replicated on StackOverflow - https://stackoverflow.com/que...

Re: bed warping; if the bed is not substantially flat, the only option is to 'map' the surface and to correct the g-code Z values to compensate. I guess this could be done manually, but the best approach is with something like a BLTouch sensor mounted on the extruder. (I've got one, still in its bo...
