The project I'm working on has a client module and server module, with shared
modules/procedures/variables between the two. The user chooses the mode from
a GUI upon running it. Consequently I have it running in client mode on bare
metal and server mode in a virtual machine with a separate IP addr

I can say, somebyte=ASC("x"), but is it possible to quickly assign a two-byte
string to a typical two-byte short?
I'm sure this can be done with some lengthy function but (as most
programmers should) I have a need for efficiency. I'm not concerned with
character set mishaps for people with differ

I couldn't find it in GAMBAS 2 so I built GAMBAS 3. It had the new method,
however I was unable to test it because Image.Draw() seemed not to work.

I tried it with both GTK and QT and the problem only occurs in GTK. For the
time
I have a checkbox control. I'd like it to call a subroutine whenever it's
checked or unchecked. The code looks like this:
PUBLIC SUB CheckBox_Preview_Water_Click()
Preview.Refresh
END
The control and event are on the main form. "Preview" is a module and
"Refresh" is the procedure name in it.
I'm working on a GAMBAS program and want to allow it to be distributed freely
but not used for commercial purposes without paying a licensing fee. The
program uses GTK, not Qt, so the usual Qt licensing issues shouldn't apply
here. Is this possible, or do all GAMBAS programs (source or compiled) n

I'm developing a game which requires static polygonal model rendering with 2D
"bit blitting"-style overlays. These are my eventual requirements:
1) Render a 3D heightmap with arbitrarily-specified tileable texture maps.
2) Render static 3D models on top of the heightmap.
3) Render 2D images on to

I need to create an 8 gigabyte binary file with zero values throughout it. Is
there a faster way to do this than to create a big string of zeros and write
it to the file multiple times? What I'm doing right now works but seems like
a really ugly method:
' Zero-out the file.
Zero = Chr$(0) & Chr$(

Using GAMBAS 2.19 I tried creating an array:
PUBLIC Elevation AS Short[65536, 65536]
With no data assigned to any of the array's elements, reading Elevation[0,0]
shows a value of 24. I'm thinking it should be zero. Reading
Elevation[4095,0] crashes the program. I tried reading Elevation[100,100]
When retrieving the value of a pixel at x,y from the picture in a picturebox

value, and can it be easily converted to an RGB value?

I've noticed that the documentation for the SDL component is incomplete.
There are some basic examples in the BeastScroll example application
packaged with GAMBAS, but is there a more extensive list of procedures
implemented in GAMBAS for SDL?

I just upgraded GAMBAS to 2.15.2 borrowing from Debian's current unstable
repository and the problem persists.
I've tried this on the 64-bit versions of GAMBAS 2.13.1 and 2.8.2 included
with Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 and the same thing happens. It may also happen
with the listbox, listview or similar controls if they use the same code.
