Gambas/Components

Back to Gambas GB Components Components are Gambas plug-ins that add new functionality to your applications (by adding new classes to the interpreter). A Gambas project has a list of components to be loaded at startup; you can find and modify this list by selecting Project > Properties from the Project window, and clicking the Components tab. A Gambas project without any components is a simple text-only application. To become a true graphical application, a project must use at least the gb.qt component. To access a database, use the gb.db component. And so forth... gb - Gambas internal native classes gb.compress - Compression library gb.db - Database access component gb.debug - Gambas application debugger helper gb.eval - Gambas expression evaluator gb.gtk - Graphical GTK+ toolkit component gb.net - Networking component gb.net.curl - Network high-level protocols management gb.pcre - Perl-compatible Regular Expression Matching gb.qt - Graphical QT toolkit component gb.qt.editor - Gambas editor with syntax highlighting gb.qt.ext - Graphical QT toolkit extension component gb.qt.kde - KDE integration and scripting gb.qt.kde.html - KDE web browser gb.sdl - Library based on SDL gb.sdl.image - 2D Library based on SDL gb.sdl.sound - Sound library based on SDL gb.vb - Visual Basic compatibility gb.xml.libxml - XML tools based on libxml gb.xml.libxml.rpc - XML-RPC client based on libxml and libcurl gb.xml.libxml.xslt - XSLT tools based on libxslt Add some new components You can load new components using by going to the main Project window and selecting Project > Properties. Now, choosing the Components tab, you'll find a selectable list of the Gambas components. Tick the ones you want, untick the ones you don't. You'll also be shown a hint with the name of the additional controls e.g.: QT when you load gb.qt.ext.
