How to get system host name using Gambas

Hi see you again in Gambas 3 tutorial. On this tutorial, I want to share how to get the system host name using Gambas. The idea of this program is to display a text displaying the system host and architecture when a button is clicked. 

The code are as follow:

 

Public Sub Form_Open()

btn_hostname.Text = "System Hostname"

Me.Center

Label1.Text = ""

Label2.Text = ""

End

 

Public Sub btn_hostname_Click()

   Label1.Text = "My system host name is :" & system.Host           =====get the system host name and displayed in Label1

   Label2.Text = "My Operating System is :" & system.Family & " -" & system.Architecture  =====get the system family and architecture in Label 2

End

 

Public Sub btn_exit_Click()

  Me.Close

End

Gambas Tutorial - Center the form on startup

Hi, see you again on Gambas tutorial. This time we'll continue to learn about Gambas programming. On the previous post, I've written how to create new project and create our first Hello World application. Now I want to show you how to make the form position in the center of the screen everytime we launch our application. By default, Gambas will display the form on the top left of the screen and I think its important to move it to the center on startup. 

Here is the clue. Find the section Public Sub Form_Open() on the FMain class. Me.Center code will move the form to the center of the screen everytime the form is opened. 

Public Sub Form_Open()

Me.Title = "First Exercise"

Me.Center

End

Here is the result
