Re: is there a tuturial for dynamic control creation

I managed to get that far but the entire scope of what I am thinking may be beyond gambas ability. I am going to explore control arrays to do this. I have a tab panel that I was going to dynamically create additional tabs as needed each one needs about 2 dozen controls in it. labels, textboxes, but...

Re: is there a tuturial for dynamic control creation

I'm not exactly sure what you need exactly when you say "dynamic control creation" but maybe this helps. If you mean adding controls to your form with code then that's not too hard. consider this code... Private $hButton As Button Public Sub Form_Open() $hButton = New Button(MyButtonPanel)...

Re: InFile

I have just been having a look at D-Bus. I just need to go into a darkened room for an hour! Am I any wiser - Er.. NO! There is a program called D-feet (available from the Ubuntu Repos) that shows all the available connections on the D-Bus. Have you created an example program in Gambas that will de...

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: Package as Appimage

the installer does not install any particular version, the version it installs depends on how you have apt set up. if you need the ppa stable version you have to add the ppa to your apt and run apt-get update not just use the default version your distro has on it's repo. That's down to you not my in...
