Can't Configue Executable

Questions and info about the Gambas IDE itself and not what you are making with it.

Can't Configue Executable

Post by bill-lancaster »

I've done something to my IDE and can't see the menu bar that had 'configure execxutable' and several more functions.
Please see attached.
Any help appreciated.

Try pressing Ctrl+Alt+M to toggle MenuBar being visible


Plus you can right click toolbar area and there is a "Configure" option that lets you customise/add buttons to the gui.
Newer gambas versions had the "Make executable" button split into 2 buttons, one for making exe and the other for configuring making exe.
If at first you don't succeed , try doing something differently.

That proved interesting. Apparently the shortcut keys to show the Menu bar are [Ctrl]+[Alt]+M, but this did not work for me. I closed Gambas, then managed to get the bar to show by going to ~/.config/gambas3 and editing the gambas3.conf file. Look for the ShowMenus=False and change it to ShowMenus=True, save the file and then restart Gambas.

Thanks Bruce, couldn't find that short cut anywhere.
The "Configure" option brings up the facility you mentioned but it seems to read-only.
My version is 3.18.4

Sorry i didn't specify the difference between Alt and Alt-Gr matters..
I found right Ctrl and right Alt (aka Alt-Gr) did not work and just added a µ char to my doc text.
So I used Left Ctrl + Left Alt + m

Try Left-Ctrl+Left-Alt+m

hmm, toolbar config should be drag-n-drop

Once you open the config window the toolbar items can then be dragged around to re-arrange and you can drag items to and from the opened config window to the toolbar to remove/add them.

Drag'n'Drop! I didn't realise that!
Thanks again
