Re: [Gambas-user] Bizarre results when entering a £ symbol into a TextArea or TextBox
Jussi, Since you are top posting, I shall also top post: hopefully, it won't start another long discussion. Thanks for the suggestion about using String methods. The Test app now works properly using the String methods. Also, the = and &= operators work OK for strings containing non-ASCII characters such as $.

[Gambas-user] Issue 610 in gambas: Debian packaging of control: Depends only gambas3-runtime
Status: New Owner: Labels: Version-TRUNK Type-Bug Priority-Medium OpSys-Any Dist-Any Arch-Any Desktop-Any GUI-Any New issue 610 by chr4...@googlemail.com: Debian packaging of control: Depends only gambas3-runtime https://code.google.com/p/gambas/issues/detail?id=610 1) Describe the problem. When packaging a component for Debian, inside the resulting .deb the file DEBIAN/control defines dependancies in the tag Depends. When packaging a Gambas control which depends on several other Gambas components, it should list these components here to ensure, that they are installed via apt. Instead there are only these dependancies listed: Depends: gambas3-runtime (>= 3.7), gambas3-runtime (<< 3.99.0) 2) Reproduce Attached is a project, which depends on Component=gb.db Component=gb.image Component=gb.qt4 Component=gb.form Create a Debian Package from it. Look inside the created .deb file in DEBIAN/control and see, it only depends gambas3-runtime. -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.

[Gambas-user] Maskbox mask & text entry
I have a Maskbox with mask [A-Za-z][A-Za-z]. I noticed that the IDE does not show the MaxLength property. I want the user to be able to enter lower case & have the entry displayed as upper case for either of the 2 characters. When I run the attached Test app, it only seems to allow the entry of 1 characted. When 'a' followed by 'd' is entered, the Maskbox displays D and the Console shows from the Print statements carried out by code conversion of lower case to uppercase: SteckerMaskBox.MaxLength=0 SteckerMaskBox.Length=1 SteckerMaskBox.Text=a SteckerMaskBox.Mask=[A-Za-z][A-Za-z] Length=1 SteckerMaskBox.MaxLength=0 SteckerMaskBox.Length=1 SteckerMaskBox.Text=d SteckerMaskBox.Mask=[A-Za-z][A-Za-z] Length=1 What is the solution to allow a 2 character entry? PS I'm using Gambas Stable Builds ppa with gambas version showing as 3.7.90 though Gambas IDE Title bar shows DEVELOPMENT VERSION - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Could this 'Stable' ppa contain a jinxed Gambas version? -- John Test.tar.gz Description: application/gzip -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.

Re: [Gambas-user] Possible error PPA 3.7 Stable
Thats because the version in the 3.7 branch was updated to 3.7.90 when it should have stayed in 3.7.0. I have included a patch to the build system to revert the commit. I will publish an update shortly. Thanks for pointing it out!

In 'update manager' is listed as: gambas3 Gambas compression component 3.7.0-24.30~ubuntu14.01 (I assume this is related to the same issue , but I could be wrong).

[Gambas-user] Autotools packaging ???
Something has happened that I don't quite understand. For several years we have used autotools packaging to distribute our stuff to clients. The IDE options for packaging have always been: Vendor Name="Paddys-Hill" Prefix package name with the vendor name=Yes This has always worked up till the last time we sent some stuff out via autotools (around Oct last year?), we would have a package called (say) "paddys-hill-parseform-0.1.2.tar.gz". Now, when I first package up a project, the wizard "Prefix package with the vendor name" checkbox is writeable but we have had our name prefix changed to "paddys_hill" instead of "paddys-hill"??? And subsequent packaging doesn't let me alter the checkbox and adds "gambas3-" to the front of the package name. So I end up with "gambas3-paddys_hill-parseform-0.1.2.tar.gz". This is really playing havoc with the downloader/installer we have provided our customers with and is causing me no end of headache. What is going on? regards bruce -- B Bruen -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.

I have over 90 packages to test and distribute to our customers this month, a huge upgrade. I will carve this change out of our local IDE version "with extreme prejudice"! If I can't use the existing downloader/installer I will have to visit each of the 36 customers to "fix" it. Please, if this is something to do with that *&^*(&^ U-voodoo distro, don't tell me so. I have had a gut-full of it and its' refusal to follow convention!!! Not happy, in fact panicking. regards bruce -- B Bruen -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
