Re: Convert VB.net to Gambas

where to start? first of all gambas is not a loose as VB. So the first thing is you CAN NOT dim anything in the middle of code or conditionally. ALL dim must be done in the beginning of a function or sub. Sorry fella that's just not true. You can Dim anywhere you want inside a function. You can eve...

Re: SQL Advice

Re: message window on wrong monitor

I ended up making my own inputbox and message so I can control where they go on a monitor or which monitor. The built in input and message do not have that ability and show up in unpredictable places. I modeled mine after the built in using same parameters so all I had to do was search and replace t...

Re: message window on wrong monitor

in this case workspaces and monitors are very different. so that would not work. I have attempted to use extensions that will move things to the right place but they do not affect dialogs which is what this is. when using multiple monitors the x and or y attributes are essentially doubled making the...

Re: message window on wrong monitor

message window on wrong monitor

I have programs written to take advantage of multiple monitors on a system. The problem I have is that I do not seem to be able to control where a standard message window appears. It seems to always appear on the wrong monitor leaving people looking for where the message is at so they can hit ok or ...

Re: Email with smtp a pdf

application/pdf is what I already set the mime type to. Which is what your link suggests although not specifically for gambas. But I already have it as I thought it should be. I should have made it more clear. Below is the line doing the attachment. e.Add(User.Home & "/" & StoreNam...

Email with smtp a pdf

I have a working smtp setup for my program. What does not work is when I attach a pdf file it sends but it is unreadable as it is sent as plain text. I can't find a list of mime types and most notably the mime type to set in the smtp client for sending a pdf file. Any help?
