Hi, 1. My Jabaco application runs much slower in Vista than XP. Any possible explanation? It is heavy on calculations. I saw that sometimes Java runs slowly in VIsta if thread priorities are used incorrectly and disabling priorities can help. Does the compiled Jabaco program use thread priorities? Is there any way to disable them? 2. How can you allow a form with a picture to be resizable? The form changes size but not the picture. Do I have to resize the picture dynamically? I'm OK to do it tha...

Yes, I already see this line was wrong c=New java#io#InputStream(a$.openStream) should of course be c=New java#io#InputStream(b$.openStream)

Hi, There are some things that are actually easier in Jabaco than in Basic; usually one finds that a very small change takes some figuring out. Re forms, I had been stuck for a long time in that a program with two forms, in Form1 I had Form2.text1.text="hello" and it would give an error message about using class names. I finally realized that you can have lots of copies of Form2 with different names like Dim A as new Form2 Dim B as new Form2 and then you can say A.text1.text="Hello" B.text1.text...

Hi, That makes a lot of sense, I guess, though I don't understand it completely. I remember some years ago me and my son Jamie were trying to use Java and a message came up on the computer saying it is deprecated software. So we didn't go with Java. Then later visual basic is deprecated in favour of the .NET framework. That messed me up a bit, both Java and Basic getting deprecated, it is really great that they are both back again. Here is my Deactivate routine Public Sub Form_Deactivate() If ac...

Wow, thanks for that quick answer. That is great; I had not noticed that there was a "module 1" and associated code. I think it is fine to leave it like that, it does not have to be exactly the same as VB6. The only reason I wanted transparency was to use a form with no border, and make my own task bar in order to have my own button to close the form, and I would put Deactivate code there. This is simpler, I can use the Deactivate routine that appears when the default action in module 1 is comme...

Wow, thanks for the fast response. That explains both behaviours (priority of operations and the way Jabaco prefers to keep application folders separate). Two other very small things: 1) I am trying three ways to make the form backcolor completely transparent (so I can use a gif to make the form another shape besides square. None of these work: - setting the background color programmatically to rgb(0,0,0,0) with 0 for alpha as the last entry - trying to access java#awt#color - setting transparen...

Hi Manuel, Wow this is great to be able to compile into Java for the first time. I note that arithmetic operations using a carat mark such as msgbox( 3^2 + 7) or msgbox( 7 + 3^2) ARE supported, but give the WRONG ANSWER. Both should give 16, but the first gives a real number larger than 1000 and the second gives the integer 100. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Secondly, it is annoying but it keeps asking the resources to be relocated, it...
