Dear Mark,

I don't know whether other users can replicate this "feature", but I get "11" entered into the demo calc program each time I press, ofr example, a single "1". Upon a mouse click, a single number appears in the input field. When I move the mouse away, and the number is still highlighted, a repeat of the original input takes place. I don't know whether that is a bug in the calc program itself (calc.pb), which i've not examined yet, or a general problem with mouse button handling in gtkbasic002.

Has anybody else experienced that same problem?

With kind regards,
Vovchik

PS. I just downloaded and tested the new version and the bug still seems to be there, if, indeed, it is in gtkbasic002 and not in calc.pb.

This is a bug in JWM I think.
Look at calc.pb

You see:

Dear Mark,

Thanks for the code snippet. Everything now works as it should in calc.pb under IceWM, which is my standard WM. JWM must have a bug related to mouse signal handling.

MfG,

Hey Mark; I installed GTKbasic-002 in Puppy216 & I get this error with the filechooser demo:
Argument count mismatch!

It installed with no errors... was there something I missed? (probably)
I haven't followed this thread closely... Terry

The error is intended, it is an error-dialog I added.
After this message, you should see several fileselectiondialogs.
The error-message is just a custom dialog to show, that the fileselector checks, if it is called correctly.

Maybe a bit confusing, I should add a message that explains that Wink

Dear Mark,

I took the liberty of restructuring the calc program so that I could myself get a better handle on gtkbasic. I am attaching it here as it might be useful for others on the forum. I also added a "divison by zero" check without which the program would bomb if "0" were the divisor. To run it, just click on it in rox (once it has been made executable).

With kind regards,
Vovchik

Your right as usual, the file browser ran properly.

I'm fixing a few of my posted apps., but I'll let you know how I do with it.
I already have a few ideas for guis to try making with it... Terry

Good work vovchik, we need more coders to fill in the gaps!

I updated the archives.

The buttons now seem to work in JWM and Icewm, using

Moin Mark - actually afterMoin - sort of Guten Tag

anyway finally had a look at your innovations
calc worked OK - looking foward to the IDE (if that is possible)

The name "TuxBasic" is available - also you intend it to be a major component of Muppy? So MuppyBasic . . .

If you want to use PuppyBasic2 or GtkBasic as the name or whatever (let me know) and I can create a logo and wiki page and get some support going?

In fact I might create a page from the developing Prism Page at tmxxine

I think there once was a Gtkbasic for Gtk1, but I found not much using google.
So I think it might be ok to stay with GtkBasic.

Logo? Ok, I'm curious Smile

The current one is a mix of the wxWidgets-logo (mondrian, a painter , who painted such yellow white blue red paintings), and the Gtk-logo.
I used the wxLogo because I like it, and Gtkbasic derives of wxBasic.
Though it has no more "wx" left in it at all.

I updated the archives.
I now finally could fix those xlib-sync-errors Razz

It was done by locking the functions that access Gtk-widgets, so that no other function can disturb our actions.
This is done using a "mutex", see:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-Threads.html#GStaticMutex
Was a bit hefty to finally find this solution, but the code itself is pretty simple.
So if someone reads this via google, e.g. if he looks for thread-errors in Python, he might have a look at the sourcecode:

There is an icon included in the dotpup, the larger original pictures are in the source.tgz (in /media).
I attach the current icon.
It was however just a quick solution to have something that fits more or less, so other suggestions are welcome Smile

hey, looks great Smile

I would reduce the bottom-part, so that the whole picture becomes a square (for the Desktop-Icon).

I think I will add it to the next update, good work, Lob Very Happy

You did that with Xara?

Btw. I think of leaving germany, as I currently just earn 10 Euro/hour.
In London I found via web jobs for Perl-programmers, where I could get 3-6 times more.
So I'll start writing an english CV soon.

Would be nice to drink a coffee together after work, right?

Mark

Glad you like it - modify any way that suits Smile

Yes done in Xara

London is great but expensive to live in
Coffee would be great - you can get great coffee

BUT . . . years ago I was travelling by National Express coach from London, with my Spanish girlfriend and the hostess came along and asked if we wanted coffee . . . I declined and advised NOT to order 'coffee' - but she ordered . . .

"You have not drunk your coffee?" enquired the hostess collecting cups and litter
"That is not coffee!" she was informed with suitable disdain.
