[Gambas-user] (Main) Form won't close - how to tell the user why

[adamn...@gmail.com]

I have a main form that has a lot of ways that the user can start other 
processes from, some with wait and some without.
When they attempt to close the main form, the event loop won't terminate. Which 
is proper. However, I need to be able to tell the user to close the "such and 
such window". How can I find out which process is blocking the end of the event 
loop?

regards

Re: [Gambas-user] missing wiki gridview.rows.selection

[adamn...@gmail.com]

Piccoro, 
The documentation is there, it took me 4 clicks to get to it from the gb.qt4 
page.  I'll change my previous comment to "Read AND LOOK AT EVERY word on the 
Gambas help page.
gridview.Rows is a property that returns an object of the **virtual class** 
_GridView_Rows type.  So  you have to go there to see the description of that 
class. IOW in the syntax box notice that the _GridView_Rows word is a hyperlink 
to the page describing that class.

[Gambas-user] missing wiki gridview.rows.selection

[PICCORO McKAY Lenz]

the documentation for Rows.Selection i cannot found in wiki.. ide does not
show any documentation..

i found that piede of code in the recet upload of the wGridfilter and no
doc its raised in ide:

For n = 0 To $Grid.columns.Count - 1
valor = IIf($Grid[$Grid.Rows.Selection[c], n].text = "",
$Grid[$Grid.Rows.Selection[c], n].richText, $Grid[$Grid.Rows.Selection[c],
n].text)
clave = $Grid.rslt.Fields[n].Name
actual.Add(valor, clave)
Next

any information about that symbol please!

[Gambas-user] wiki pages related to row count partially incorrect

[PICCORO McKAY Lenz]

the gambas wiki about rows count are partially incorrect..

http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb.db/result/count?l=en

the problem its that the cursor in most drivers return a Forwad Only and
due tat the count implementation couln not be...

the specification are better describe in the odbc related bugs in
gambaswiki please read it

and yeah, i'm too concentrate in wiki documentation, due causes too many
headaches to non-english speaker users.. due translations problems

Re: [Gambas-user] Help needed from regexp gurus

[Fernando Cabral]

This is mostly to thank Tobi and Jussi for their help in solving some
issues that were making me unhappy.

With three lines of code I have solved what used to take me twenty or so.
What is better yet: execution time
fell down from 2min 30 sec to 1,5 seconds. And the code is much more
transparent, The three lines bellow are the heart and brain of the program:

MatchedWords = Split(RawText, " \"'`[]{}+-_:#$%&.!?:(),;-\n", "", True)
MatchedSentences = Split(RegExp.Replace(RawText,
"([.])|([!])|([?])|(;\n)|([:]\n)", "&1&2&3&4&5\x00", RegExp.UTF8), "\x00",
"", True)
MatchedParagraphs = Split(RawText, "\n", "", True)

These three lines will take an entire text file (read into the variable
RawText) and split it into words, sentences and paragraphs. They ONE SECOND
to process a 150-page long text file with  414,961 bytes, tallying 69,196
words, 4,626 sentences and 2,409 paragraphs.

I am impressed!

In this last (and fast) version I have depended very little on RegExp. But
I still have used it to do some massaging on the original text. The line
"MatchedSentences = " above shows an example. The characters ".?!",
and the strings ";\n" and ":\n" signal the end of a sentence. Nevertheless,
I can not use them as separators for Split(). I can' t because Split ()
would drop them as it does with separators. Nevertheless, I need them
later. So I used RegExpl.Replace () to insert a \x00 after each of them and
then I used \x00 as the only sentence separator. This preserved the
punctuation marks I needed at the end of each sentence.

After running those three lines I still need to do some additional
processing with the resulting arrays, but that only consumes another half a
second for the same 150-page long document.

Now I am happy and I feel stimulated to complete the code and do some
polishing.

Thank you, Tobi and Jussi. You have helped a lot.

[Gambas-user] ODBC standar not tested property and many wiki/docs need corrections

[PICCORO McKAY Lenz]

Hi gambas devels and users, in some mail conversation with Jorje Carrion (
shordi) i noted that most gambas developers think that odbc supports same
features like normal native connections, many wiki pages assumed all the
gb.db connection types works equal, and it not as said!


.. and seems nobody except by me test or use really the ODBC behaviour in
gambas..


I mean: combinatios of ODBC+MSSQL or ODBC+ORACLE or ODBC+DB2 or
ODBC+SYBASE/FREETDS are not tested never in gambas i noted.. the opened
bugs confirmed that


http://gambaswiki.org/bugtracker/edit?object=BUG.1113 sql does not exec
after connect ODBC+FREETDS

http://gambaswiki.org/bugtracker/edit?object=BUG.1102 in some cases
subquerys does not return nothing

http://gambaswiki.org/bugtracker/edit?object=BUG.1100 due ODBC specs,
cursor are FOWARD ONLY


fill the gridview using DATA event need that Result object have a cursor,
using MoveTO, but due the Result are Foward only usage of the "MoveTo" are
not working in all ODBC combinations cases...

by example wiki page said: "You can fill the grid explicitly, or implement
the Data  event to
display the grid contents on demand."
http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb.qt4/gridview/.data


of course we can use other methos, but with thousand of rows are very
inefective...


All of these "limitations" around ODBC combinations must be in all the
realted wikis, due as like me, spend many hours thinking that "moveto" can
be done in odbc connections like sqlite or mysql connections..

Re: [Gambas-user] Building binaries with gba3 sometimes fails

Okay, 

so if i run gbc3 on the project before gba3, it should compile it and then
archive it, right?

peace!

Yes, I understood you meant gba3. And gba3 is not a compiler, it's an 
archiver. It does not take your changes into account.
