[Sloved] Migrating from 3.15 to 3.18 Problems

[AndyGable]

Hi Everyone

Not sure if I am doingh something wrong but I am having a problem I am trying to update from 3.15 to 3.18 on Debian (from the back port)

but when I do i get a issue where NON of my key input works

in 3.15 I can set focus to the form with in a workspace and it works fine but in 3.18 the form is not getting any input.

I have uninstalled 3.15 and installed a clean 3.18 but that has not sorted the problem

Any advise would be most welcomed (as I have a few applications that uses keyboard input)

Kind regards

Andrew

Have you tried recompiling your program(s)? Project>Compile All

[AndyGable]

Hi Cogier,

Sorry for the delay i was trying what you (Had to wait to get into the office to try this) said and this is what I found

If I have a textbox on the screen then the Program will respond to keyboard input but if it is via the form Keypress it does not respond

I have even tried to capture the key.code to see what it is sending but this is not even working (and yes I have done a compile all)

I had to change the GTK as it was saying the one I was using was not available (so I selected gb.gkt3) recompiled it and ran the program and still nothing

Any ideas what this could be as I can not really upgrade to Debian 12 if None of my Keyboard based applications do not work

I have done some testing and all seems to work as I would expect. Can you post some example code, so I/we can see what you are trying to do?

[AndyGable]

Public Sub Form_KeyPress()

    Select Case Key.Code
        Case Global.Key_SignOn ' lower case A
            frmbackground.Workspace1.CloseAll
            frmbackground.Workspace1.Add(FrmSignOn, 0)

        Case Global.Key_PriceCheck
            frmPriceCheck_1.labCallingForm.Text = "frmSignedOff"
            frmbackground.Workspace1.CloseAll
            frmbackground.Workspace1.Add(frmPriceCheck_1, 0)

        Case Global.Key_UserMenu
            frmbackground.Workspace1.CloseAll
            frmbackground.Workspace1.Add(frmSignedOffMenu, 0)
        
    End Select

End

The keys are defined as below

Public Key_SignOn As Integer = 65                'A
Public Key_PriceCheck As Integer = 67                'C
Public Key_UserMenu As Integer = 69                'E

This is the code I am using on my signed off screen

This works fine in 3.15 but when I move it to 3.18 it does not work at all

            frmbackground.Workspace1.CloseAll
            frmbackground.Workspace1.Add(frmPriceCheck_1, 0)

        Case Global.Key_UserMenu
            frmbackground.Workspace1.CloseAll

This works fine in 3.15 but when I move it to 3.18 it does not work at all

have you tried using Key[] for the integers, you should not rely on code values

Public Key_SignOn As Integer
Public Key_PriceCheck As Integer
Public Key_UserMenu As Integer

Public Sub _new()
  Key_SignOn = Key["A"]
  Key_PriceCheck = Key["C"]
  Key_UserMenu= Key["E"]
End

[BruceSteers]

something will be getting the keypress

maybe the active control needs to relay it to Form_KeyPress()

I assume the different gambas versions are on different machines.

If so post the gambas system information from both machines so we might get a hint as to what the problem may be.

[AndyGable]

System informtion Request

the only differance between the machines is one is a 32 bit install the other is a 64bit install BUT this is the same when I installed 3.18.0 on my 32 bit machine (I have gone back to the 3.15.2 that is in the normal apt install at the moment)

I just noticed I do not have qt5 installed on the 64bit machine and I can not find a way to install it

does anyone know how I can install qt5?

it should be in the same repository

actually is "should" be installed.

maybe

sudo apt install libqt5core5a

or load synaptic package manager and search for qt5 stuff
