I have discovered that if I run the Gambas IDE with QT5 it solves the problem of not being able to enter text into the Group 'Drop Down List'. I have tried to sort this problem by changing themes and font sizes, with no joy. My question is what is the terminal command that will do this?
I am running Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon desktop. The main menu offers this option, which works, but I can't find out how it does it.

Re: How to run the IDE with QT
change the launcher icon properties command to this...
Code: Select all
GB_GUI=gb.qt5 gambas3
If at first you don't succeed , try doing something differently.

Re: How to run the IDE with QT
By the way you can see how an icon works with those alternative commands if you open it with a text editor like kate, gedit, pluma, etc
(drag-n-drop the gambas3 IDE icon to an open editor window or an editor launcher icon)
The alternative commands are in the [Desktop Action <name>] items.
This is the gambas3 icon ...

Re: How to run the IDE with QT
Also if you still use my GLaunch program you can right click the tray icon and set "gambas GUI mode" to qt5 then it runs the IDE with qt5.
It also remembers the setting.

Re: How to run the IDE with QT
gbWilly's command works when used as a Keyboard Shortcut.
Bruce's command works from the Terminal.
I also discovered that if you look at 'Debug' menu, you can see which component is used.
Thanks again.

Re: How to run the IDE with QT
Well no.
If you go to the "About gambas" window you can see what component is used for the ide.
The debug menu sets what toolkit to use when testing your project with the ide debugger.

Re: How to run the IDE with QT
But doesn't it default to the IDE component in use?
Damn, you got me thinking now.
b
p.s. Been using qt5 in the IDE for so long I dont recall if I've ever seen otherwise. ?

Have you ever noticed that software is never advertised using the adjective "spreadable".

Re: How to run the IDE with QT
no it defaults to "Current Desktop"
and the setting is saved and restored with the .project, nothing to do with the IDE
isn't your system one that does not have gtk installed? if so then i guess you'll default to qt
