Programming Gambas from Zip - Wikibooks, open books for an open world

My first, and probably only, wikibook.

If anyone can suggest where I might upload the programming examples (about 30 of them, but they fit into a 2MB zip file) I would be grateful. The code can always be copied from the wiki pages. I see an Attachments button below but I'm not sure if this is the place. Thanks.

This will help me big time, I need this. Maybe admins could make a spot for tutorials and examples on the forum for content like that.

 Cudos for all that hard work.
Really liked the Function Reference. (and lots of other stuff)
I 'sometimes' do things the hard way, forgetting that there is a small in-built function to do what I need.

 I haven't had a chance to look at the book yet since I haven't had much Gambas time in the past 3 months. I'm sure I'll be able to learn a lot from it. This is something that has been lacking for Gambas for a very long time. Thanks!

Gambas From Zip Notebook Program

With the latest Gambas, the Tray Icon Notebook (last of the sample programs) is giving an error.
When the form becomes visible with two middle-clicks on the tray icon there is a message saying "Connection already open".
It can be fixed with the addition of one word, TRY, in the sub called ConnectDatabase.

Code (gambas)

  1. Public Sub ConnectDatabase()
  2.  
  3.   db1.Type = "sqlite"
  4.   db1.host = User.home
  5.   db1.name = "Notebook.sqlite"
  6.   Try db1.Open 'Form seems to process the Open event when it becomes visible now with latest Gambas. Database may be already connected.
  7.   SelectAllNotes

Hi, Gerry!
I downloaded your book and please, belive me, It's my "<COLOR color="#0000BF">Best Choice</COLOR>"!
The style is wonderful and given the fact that there are 30 Projects commented almost line-by-line, I guess it's<COLOR color="#0000FF"> a work of art!</COLOR>
Thanks and my gratitude for all that work!
And belive me, I know what writing a book is! I already wrote and published over 30 books so far. Maybe more, I just forgot to count them… :)
There is only one thing that matches your book: this forum. :)
