Re: My Little Gambas Helper

Good job Charlie! I like the Progress bar, as using Mouse.Wait didn't seem to work as well as I expected. Not so keen on 'tell the world' (its already on the Help About dialog). I hope anyone using this program will customise to suit their needs. WebView is an interesting component and I'm sure ther...

Re: The new Gambas AppImage - can it run on Android?

I found myself thinking about the wider implications of this question at 3am last night, when I couldn't sleep. (the wider implications being: developing or running Gambas programs on Android ). My initial reaction was "why would anyone want to lug Gambas all the way over to Android?" Ther...

Re: Listbox advice

...I have had good feed back from customers who say the Listbox is the best for them when they are using the software... I'm sorry, I really don't understand what you are saying. The end user will be unaware of the type of control you are using; they are only interested in its appearance and usabil...

Maybe i misunderstood?...
