Gambas ONE

Where I said ‘shielded’ : I do mean that if data are stored within the programme file itself – or application, app, executable or whatever it’s called – tampering with them becomes a lot more unlikely. When they are kept in an external file, that file can intententionally or not be edited, overwritt...

Hi Cougier That’s perfect for a small number of data, but I would need to store between 100 and 200 data. Wouldn’t be very practical, would it? As I gather, a DATA statement is not possible in Gambas. Other BASIC develloppers have dropped this as well or haven’t been including it considering it old ...

Good morning / evening (whatever) Getting underway with CSV files made me think of DATA statements. In my project, I will be using some specific data that stay always the same. In some BASIC languages you can store those in the executable itself, as you probably know. If not, here’s an example in GW...

Hi guys, 01McAc : That ‘freeze’ code works perfectly. As for the sorting routine, I had just found the code in the GridView documentation, and where it says that it can be applied to TableView as well. However, it’s well above my programming knowledge. So I’m very pleased with Cogier’s sollution. Th...

In my project I need to enter data using a ‘simple’ spreadsheet. TableView could be just perfect for that if it’s possible to : 1) set one or two columns to ‘Read Only’ , so that it’s impossible to change the contents within. 2) sort the data, because I read in the help files : Control.:sort (gb.qt5...

No, it doesn’t seem to be something straightforward, if even experienced gurus are left struggling with it . Anyway, this goes way beyond my current programming capabilities. I’m going to try to get my project running first, the embellishments can wait for the time being. Bruce & Steve, many tha...

Hi Bruce,
I added System.Shell = System,.Find("bash")
and got an error Unexpected ‘,’
Removed the offending naughty ‘,’ and it runs fine.
BUT … result is still an empty string.

I see that that there’s a lot of activity regarding my question. Thanks for that, but this surpasses my humble Gambas programming knowledge. Steve, I tried the gsettings and they work fine but then, what can I do with it? Bruce, I tried your Public Sub, but it didn’t give a result. To make sure, I p...

Question : Is there a way for a program to figure out which Theme the ‘operating system’ – if I my call it so – is using? The origin of this post is my earlier post ‘Border problems’. So Steve and Bruce will already know what this is about. In brief : I am desperately trying to build a programme in ...

I just have installed Gnome Tweaks and it offers Appearance/Themes/Applications to choose any installed Theme. I'm going to play around with the default themes, search for some new appropriate ones and see what their effect is with Borders. There are already two that could qualify : HighContrast and...
