I'm currently trying to learn Gambas, as it appears the easiest of the Linux IDEs I've been able to find so far. Here are the issues I've run into so far.
- The form resize event doesn't pass the form's size as an event parameter -- but the size is easily available as a form property. So this issue was just over-VisualBasicization on my part.
- When you make a set of controls into a group and then assign an event to the group, how do you get a pointer back to the control which initiated the event? Still working on this. The most obvious solution would have been for the event to pass the control as a parameter; Gambas events don't seem to use parameters. Another intuitive solution would have been for the group itself to appear on the form's list of controls/methods, as an alias for the currently active/effective control, but this doesn't seem to be the case. Finally, if the form had an ActiveControl property, I could pull the .Tag value from there, although I would expect to run into problems using this technique under some circumstances.
