It's either you or Gambas that's at fault :0 It's you. You need a different mindset. I believe I addressed your issue directly in an earlier reply. In VB, Global is synonymous with Public, but Global really means "drop your knickers and spread your legs for everyone in Paris. Hell, go the whole hog! The WORLD!!!!" in VB. In Gambas, Public means "drop your knickers and spread your legs only to those who ask nicely." Crude, hey. But that's me. Perhaps you started with Gambas as I did, having a vital VB app that had to be moved to Linux asap, and jumped in head first without checking the depth of the water. Look, I agonised over this stuff. I went so far as to consider a Qt GUI with a fortran or Pascal back-end, but I persisted with Gambas and it paid off. If I were to offer you some genuinely good advice, it would be not be to try and port the application on the first ball. You need to experiment, an awful lot, to come to terms with the differences between Gambas and VB. You need to first see if the GUI is even remotely reproducible. Then you need to know the difference between /r/n and crlf and standard line breaks in Linux, and escape characters. The list never ends. Then, when you think you've got it all tied down you'll need to convert your local time now into Timbuktu time now. Even stuff as simple as Drag/Drop is different. Heck, even Clipboard is different. However, once the GUI is reproducible, the difference between /r/n and crlf and a line break in Linux is known, and it's second nature to convert your local time now into Timbuktu time now, and both Drag/Drop and Clipboard have been mastered, the rest really is BASIC. I don't know if the mailing list can cope with a VB to Gambas conversion thread, but being mindful of the fact that the mailing list exists so others may learn, you are welcome to email me privately under the proviso that your conversion experience and mine form part of a freely available work that benefits other Gambas users. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
