When loading the view and I encounter an item with the same filename but a

Short of processing the key of every node in the view I can't see a way to

What I am looking for is a partial key recognition of the following ilk:

Hmmm, bugger!
I know it is in the form configuration file, but that's of little use to me in
this instance.
I was trying to implement a "Style" property for toolbars, i.e. {Default},
IconOnly, Icon+Text, TextOnly. I can handle the first three OK, but TextOnly
means I need to know that path so I can reload the picture if the user selects
one of the others after selecting TextOnly. The way I look at it now, if a
toolbutton has both the Picture and Text properties set in the IDE then there
is no way for "experienced" users to select a shorter rendition for their use,
the picture and text are always displayed.
Ce'st la vie! I guess I'll just go for the first three.

Yes, that is the current problem. I was working around it by modifying the
toolbutton .Tag property to save the developer set text so it could be
restored within the session. But then ran up against the problem of saving the
picture.
> Usually, the hide/show text/icon is global to the toolbar, but I find

Interesting. We have discussed this with our users and they preferred that the
option to show/hide the text be at the toolbar level. Why do you think it's
"useless"?
The conversation we have had went sort of like this:
[THEY] "We generally want pictures and text on every toolbar, but would like to
be able to turn off the text when we are familiar with using that toolbar."
[ME] (Thinks) OK, we can customise the gb.form.mdi component to implement a
Toolbar.Style property that can be changed "on demand" using the FToolbarConfig
form ... and also maybe make it a Settings option.
"Do you want to be able to select the style at the toolbar level or for each
button on the toolbar?"
[THEY] No, as long as there are tooltips for each button then it would be
preferrable to set it at the toolbar level.
The issue we have is that there is a fairly high turnover for our client's
staff. To be more correct, they have a floating population of staff that they
wish to have access to the system. Sometimes a particular trainer has a high
demand for staff, sometimes lower, depending on how many horses they are
managing at the time. So people who have to use our training system come and
go and come back again and go away again... (and while they are away we may
have changes to the system ... ) So those users oscillate between "newbies" and
"experts" all the time. Hence the need for a user configurable toolbar style
(amongst a million other things :-) as usual!)
But, given what you said, I think there is a case for implementing both a
toolbutton level style and also an overriding toolbar level style. However, I
can't imagine at the moment the user interface required for managing individual
toolbuttons. Perhaps you have an idea?
So far we have managed to do this in (our version of)) gb.form.mdi:
1) implement the Style property for the Toolbar class (it has the previously
mentioned 4 values "{Default}", "IconOnly", "Icon+Text", and "TextOnly". Of
these "{Default}" means that if the button has text it will be displayed,
otherwise only the icon is shown. (I've also managed to get around a problem of
allowing Icon size changes to work properly when the ToolButton.Expand property
is nt set to true.); "IconOnly" works fine, the original text is saved in the
button .Tag property and can be restored when necessary e.g. by the user
selecting "Icon+Text"; the "TextOnly" option is a failure for the original
reason.
2) modify the FToolbar Config form to allow the style to be set on the fly (see
Pic1 attached)
I haven't got to changing the local Settings "save" yet - I think I need to be
looking at the FToolbar.SaveConfig and FToolbar.LoadConfig methods but just
haven't got to

[Gambas-user] Explictly sized array parameters in method signatures?
Hmm, I've never tried this before. Suppose a function GetCurrent(DateRange as Date[]), now intuitively DateRange is an array of 2 dates. No-one would be silly enough to pass an array with more than two elements would they? My cynical nature says yes they could/would. I could ignore the array length and just use DateRange[0] and DateRange[1] as the limits but that may produce confusing outcomes, or an error if DateRange contains only one element. I would like to define the function as GetCurrent(DateRange as Date[2]) but this is apparently a syntax error. Obviously, in this trivialised example, I could check the bounds of the passed array in the function body, I just expected that the runtime would check an explicitly sized array parameter. The real function is (of course) much more complex. The function requires an array of Dates[3][2] and another 5 parameters, some of which are optional. Any thoughts?

[Gambas-user] Another IDE feature request
Benoit, Thanks again for that popup menu for the debugger to add watch items, it really is a great help. But here's another request: Could you add an item to that menu to print the value of an object property to the console please. When looking at a long or complex string it would be nice to be able to scroll across it easily. I know it is possible using the "edit" mode, but that is a bit clunky. As an extension to this, I think there is a TODO item about printing (all) an object's property values, or perhaps it was the interpreter item "Make objects printable, with a "_print" hidden method or something else." However, I believe that being able to print them all from the debugger to the console would be a great step forward. 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.

[Gambas-user] Connections.Count ??? :-!
I have a component that provides generic database -> object translations. I have used (and enhaced) it for some years. At one point in its' initialisation routine the code refers to Connections.Count which property does not exist. IIRC some months ago I started a thread requesting that the Connections class have a Count property to return the number of defined connections defined in the project. This is where this gets weird. Today I started a new project using that component. It fails with the "Unknown symbol ..." error. But other projects using the same component run fine. To be more specific, other executables (from source compiled a few months ago) run fine ... against the same component. This has got me beat. I am not sure whether that Count property was ever implemented or whether I implemented it locally or whether I had some local Components override class? I cant find a) the original post I mentioned above, b) anything here in our code base that has an override Components class, nor c) anything in our local gambas3 source code that would be an attempt to provide that property. Does anyone recall anything about this? tia 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.

[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.

[Gambas-user] Proposal: IDE / custom control components
@Benoît & Fabien I have been hacking around in our local IDE code over the last month attempting to create a way to make a popup control property editor (like say, the list editor for a combobox, but please bear with me) entirely contained within the custom control component itself. A more illustrative example would be Fabien's Angle property for a Report.?? control. My theory is this: It would be (generally) better to be able to define the property editor within the actual component itself, rather than having to change the IDE code each time a new popup property editor is needed. The IDE would then have to invoke the required editor from within that component. My actual situation is this: I have a (yes, the dreaded) virtual menu control component "vappoptions" that reduces the management of the user's application configuration down to a reasonably simple IDE virtual control. That is, we drag a "vappoptions" control from the toolbox onto a form and it provides the entire "Tools|Options" popup with no further coding needed. However, it has an IDE exposed property "Options" that needs a specialised property value editor (which exists inside the custom control component itself). That popup editor (to cut a long story short) edits via a nice gui a ".options" file in the project. So I need, for our purposes a way to invoke that popup editor from within the IDE form designer. Gawd. I hope that was understandable? Anyway, our local version of the IDE has a modified FProperty.class (and some other things) that makes this all possible... sort of but it works! It's essentially a "hack" at the moment. So here's the guts of this: 1) It is possible to have a custom property editor, encased entirely within a custom component. 2) The hack is v e r y undeveloped. 3) I think this has great possibilities for "lightening the load" on the IDE for custom controls. 4) I need some help !!! So if any of the above is sensical and/or of interest, let me know. best regards bruce -- B Bruen -- One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user

And another few anomalies 1) When wrapped mode is active and the cursor is on the last visible line in the editor panel, switching to unwrapped mode results in the active line being covered by the horizontal scroll bar.

[Gambas-user] "Frozen" collections - quick answers only needed
Hi all, I have a class that exposes a collection of child objects as a property. How can I make it that the only object that can add or delete child items to/from the collection is that class?

Re: [Gambas-user] These new color constants ...
Hi Adrien, Thanks for lookin\g at this. Your response solves problem #2 in that I now know what causes it and it is a local issue - I am using a modified version of gbx3 and that is definitely why the Read/Write property change fouls up. Sorry for the noise. On the other hand - re problem 1 (no Color class override) : could you clarify that you dont get that black fill rendering when using a Color constant in the IDE. I don't believe that is related to the above but feel it may be local due to QT4 installed here, or themes, or something... tia bruce On Fri, 14 Aug 2015 10:58:17 +0200 "Adrien Prokopowicz" wrote: > Le Fri, 14 Aug 2015 03:58:32 +0200, adamn...@gmail.com > a écrit: > > > With these new color constant changes (rev 7189) in the IDE (pursuant to > > Marco Ancillotti's "Adding custom colors" thread) I'm getting some > > anomalous outcomes. > > > > 1) In a project without any override for the Color class the following > > occurs: > > If any of the old or new constants are selected (say as a background > > color) from the dialog [selcol_dlg.png] the background is rendered in > > the IDE with a black background [blackbg.png].

More changes to how packaging needs project names in a specific format, can't use hyphens in our vendor name, everything gets prefixed with "gambas" anyway. WHY?

The package naming we can cope with. (Our installer now reverses the underscores to hyphens). The only concern I have is the component naming scheme. I understand the rationale - so our "newgrid2" doesn't collide with say Tobi's "newgrid2". However, I have some fear that due to the internal naming of the component (within the installed library) that we will be up for some serious effort supporting existing clients. This is because, as I understand it at present, if we make a change to "newgrid2" and release it, then all the application level projects at all client sites will need to be changed to use the "paddys-hill.newgrid2" component. Such is life. I can see how this will be beneficial should such naming collisions occur. I will adjust our thinking to comply. best regards bruce p.s. BUT! Be aware that I have now filed a patent application to the MegaDodo Publications Bureau Corporation claiming all rights to the "ph." prefix (apparently there is prior art on the "gb." prefix.)

There is a problem with the Packager for autotools. I am still trying to
figure out whether it is something in the Package.module:MakeAutotoolsPackage
method or in one of the data/install/ template files. Essentially even though
the "COMPONENT_build" AC_SUBST seems to be set correctly (to '1') the
"COMPONENT_name" AC_SUBST is not being set.
This happens as far back as the ./configure stage as per config.log excerpt
below:
## - ##
## Output variables. ##
## - ##
ACLOCAL='${SHELL} /home/bb/paddys-hill-workarea/horseUtil-0.0.16/missing
aclocal-1.14'
AMTAR='$${TAR-tar}'
AM_BACKSLASH='\'
AM_DEFAULT_V='$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)'
AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY='1'
AM_V='$(V)'
AUTOCONF='${SHELL} /home/bb/paddys-hill-workarea/horseUtil-0.0.16/missing
autoconf'
AUTOHEADER='${SHELL} /home/bb/paddys-hill-workarea/horseUtil-0.0.16/missing
autoheader'
AUTOMAKE='${SHELL} /home/bb/paddys-hill-workarea/horseUtil-0.0.16/missing
automake-1.14'
AWK='gawk'
COMPONENT_build='1'
COMPONENT_name=''
CYGPATH_W='echo'
as a result the autotools package will not "make install" properly - it creates
a /usr/lib/gambas/.gambas file etc.
I suspect (but am not sure) the bit of code that creates the configure.ac file
at ~line 1967 of the Package.module - I beleive GB_INIT_PROJECT needs two
arguments, the second being the component name.
Have to go out today so I won't have a chance to add any further info till
later.
regards
bruce

The first part of the solution is that the GB_INIT_PROJECT in acinclude.m4 needs to be changed. The bit where it is checking for a component build should be: ## Check if the project is a component COMPONENT_build=`cat $1/.project | grep "^Type=Component" | sed s/"Type=Component"/1/g` AC_SUBST(COMPONENT_build) if test "$COMPONENT_build" = "1"; then COMPONENT_name=$2 AC_SUBST(COMPONENT_name) fi Note the change is removal of the brackets on the "if test" line.

I am with others commenting in this thread - we must have a QT4 template as that is what we expect our clients to be using.

[Gambas-user] Connections[] no longer application wide?
Previously a component or a library could access a connection defined at the
application level at run time. This seems to fail now for some reason that I
cannot fathom. For example, we have a database abstraction component ("phdb11")
that is used by a data object layer library ("horseBO", and other data object
layer) that is used by many different applications. The live db is defined as a
Connection in these applications.
The "phdb11" component looks for a Connection named "Main", connects to it and
handles all the low level access to that database, "horseBO" defines a set of
("business") objects that are available to the application and provides an
interface between the application and the phdb11 component, so all the
application need see is a bunch of objects that can be "Load"ed, "Add"ed,
"Save"d etc to the database connection it defines.
In one of the recent revisions, somewhere around when project templates were
introduced something changed and now (rev 7345) as soon as the whole structure
tries to connect I get a "Cannot locate Main connection" error.
I am trying to find where and at which revision the something changed and
aren't having too much luck.
This could be a major setback for us, so if anyone can shed a bit of light,
please help.

A couple of questions though. 1) Is there an example using the GoogleMaps provider? 2) If the provided lat/long numbers are invalid, a "Mathematical Error" occurs, but I cant seem to trap this in the client program. Both Try and Catch methods don't work. I get a stack backtrace of: Geo.MapPointToTile.19 _MapTile.Load.166 Map.tmrLoad_Timer.172 in the IDE which then stops. 3) Have you considered an interface to the Nokia "Here" map provider? It seems faster than the GoogleMaps web and has a couple of nice features. e.g. https://www.here.com/?map=52.79089,11.7536,15,satellite regards bruce -- B Bruen -- ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
[Gambas-user] IDE code questions - property editors
I think this is way out there in the cosmos somewhere, but I'll ask anyway. I am wading through the FProperty code of the IDE trying to understand how the values for properties are set (bad term) in the grid. When I get down to CControl.GetProperty(sProp As String) I see the following (with annotations): Try hProp = Project.Documentation.Classes[Kind].Properties[sProp] If hProp Then If hProp.AlwaysRead Then <--- Question1 vVal = Object.GetProperty(Control, sProp) < Question 2 ... Endif Endif Return $cValue[sProp] < Question 3 1) I see that these are set in the CPropertyInfo class but why are some properties AlwaysRead? 2) This is messy. If a control is a custom control then it appears that this line tries to get the property value from the object whose class name is the _DrawWith constant defined in the custom control not the actual control class? 3) I dont understand how the $cValue array is initialised nor indeed what its' intent is. Could you enlighten me? Why all this? I am trying to modify the IDE so that the property editor can use special popup editor forms for some extra-special property types for custom controls. In short, the goal is to have the property editor form inside the custom control component rather than in the IDE. A "visible" example is the AngleBox class control "txtAngle" in the current IDE. I believe this is only used(?) for the report controls. Because we have a bunch of custom controls that have some extra-special properties, I have to continually maintain the IDE code updates because of svn differences and conflicts. So, I have so far managed to make a minimal set of mods that allows the (local) IDE to recognize custom properties (i.e. the extra-special ones) and use a pop-up editor that is contained within the custom control component. The pic attached is an example to explain it better .. (1) is a custom control, in that control I have a property (2) "Options" that has a custom editor. When I click on the "..." button the popup editor shown appears. and when the Save button is clicked the property "value" is saved where I want it. All well and groovy. In summary, I think this would be a good IDE enhancement. i.e. moving the editor for custom control extra-special properties from inside the IDE to within the custom control component itself.

[Gambas-user] Super quickie - array equality
If anyone is awake. Can I test that an integer array of the form (x,y) is equal to [0,0] simply?

Re: [Gambas-user] Super quickie - array equality
The value, I need to know if the user has changed the default value from [0,0] to something else. [0,0] is a special case and I just thought that maybe there was a quick way to check it that I didn't know of. cheers bruce On Wed, 21 Oct 2015 15:30:28 +0300 Jussi Lahtinen wrote: > I don't get what you mean... do you want to test array bounds, or value, > or..? > > > Jussi > > On Wed, Oct 21, 2015 at 4:12 AM, adamn...@gmail.com > wrote: > > > If anyone is awake. > > > > Can I test that an integer array of the form (x,y) is equal to [0,0] > > simply?

It's just for simplicity of passing the two numbers around as parameters... The actual use is a layout for tiling, i.e. x tiles wide by y tiles tall. I could have of course used LayoutX and LayoutY but as the pair is used in may parts of this app and passed as a parameter to many functions it is easier to use an array. (The app is a design tool for a "client" (my sister) who is a mosaic artist and the layout is for the repeating tiles of a design pattern. It was supposed to be a quicky to solve a "simple" problem she had.

[Gambas-user] Dialog and relative paths
I have an executable archive that contains several text files with some metadata in them pertinent to that executable. Suffice to say they are text files with a ".def" extension. At run time the user needs to select one of these files to be loaded. Is there some way I can use the standard Dialog.OpenFile to achieve this? i.e. is there some way to make the Dialog.Path a relative path so it will show the files contained in the executable? tia bruce -- B Bruen -- ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
