Gambas ONE

Hi, I run into this same problem a while ago. First of all, forget SerialPort, it is way more simple (as Cogier already stated). The USB barcode scanner acts as keyboard input. Make a form with a TextBox (let's call it tbxBarCode) and a Label (let's call it lblScannedBarCode) Next apply following co...

I used to just monitor a TextBox for keyboard entry, something like this: Private Sub txbBarCodeInput_KeyPress() If Chr(13) Then ' This is the last non-text character from BCreader ' Put Code here EndIf End Sub This is just from memory but hopefully will give you an idea to work from. Make sure the...

Hi gbWilly, long time no hear! I have written barcode reading programs, but I have always used a USB reader, which is seen by the computer as a keyboard. Once the gun has read the code, it sends the text to the keyboard with a newline on the end. Hi Cogier, I am using a USB reader and reading your ...

Hi you all, I'm currently trying to figure out how to make an application to scan barcodes. I have a USB barcode scanner to scan the barcodes. I have been searching this forum and other places (like wiki) to figure out how to get this done but nothing was really helpful. I presume I need to use Seri...

I had a look at this and discovered (thanks to gbWilly) that you need to load the PDF file, and then it works as expected. Try the following:-

That's a very old post of mine

Hi AndieGamble Also I have a custom wrote DLL that handles the tills promotions (written in VB.net) I did not write this I paid someone to do that for me can I still use it with Gambas? DLL or Dynamic Link Libraries are a Windows thing and will not run on linux. Also, all the code would probably be ...

Hi sadams54,

Apparently the package util-linux-2.35.1-1.fc32.x86_64 already contains a file/binary named 'rename'.
That's what causes your conflict as your package is also named 'rename'

I suggest you name your package differently and try again.

Hi, Gambas has Private and Public variables. - Private can be used within the Class - Public can be used in and outside a Class Global variables is a term that comes from Visual Basic. And seeing many of us used to program in Visual Basic it is still often used by former Visual Basic developers when...

Hi, 1. You mention Global variables!!! Gambas doesn't have Global variables, so what exactly do you mean? 2. Did your default font type for your OS maybe change? As far as I am aware gb.Report2 has a certain order of checking what font type to use. An other font type might make fonts bigger or small...

Hi sholzy, When you manage to package Gambas you might wanna setup your own repo to install from there. Have a look at https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/SetupWithReprepro As a said before, I did this whole process once for Gambas 3.6.2 and setup a repo in an intranet at work to install all th...
