Help understanding EVERYTHING

Team,

I am trying to learn a GUI for Ruby and I picked wxRuby.
The problem is that I am kind of slow learning this and I now feel
frustrated after trying for about at least 7 hours.
I am trying to design a simple Sudoku 9x9 grid to display numbers, 1 - 9,
using buttons.
I posted a question on Ruby forum ruby-talk and a gentleman, Alex Fenton,
answered my questions.
Alex gave me what appear to be great hints. However, as I said earlier, I am
kind of slow and learn by example.
I tried reading the bigdemo that comes with wxruby and looked on RDOC and
google, but can''t find any help.
Alex suggested to use this forum to get help.

I don''t want you to provide me with a solution but I need some solid
hints,
if you have the time and will not mind helping me.

I am including a code that I am using to play and learn wxruby. Please take
a look at it and see if you can tell me why I can''t display all the
buttons
a defined. Only the first button, 1, is displayed.
Once I get those working I will be able to add the rest. The total for a
"normal" Sudoku puzzle is 81 for the 9x9 grid.

Thank you very much for your help.

PS: Is there a wxruby book that I can purchase?

Sorry about that. Here it is:

require ''wx''

   def initialize()
     # One can use the following, commented version or the next 2
     #Frame.new(nil, -1, "Sudoku Puzzle").show()
    super(nil, -1, ''Sudoku Puzzle'', Point.new(220,100),
Size.new(600,480))
    @mp = Panel.new(self)

    # GridSizer.new(Integer rows,  Integer cols,  Integer vgap, Integer
hgap)
    gs = GridSizer.new(9, 9, 2, 2) # My goal is to define a sudoku grid 9x9

=begin
Button.new(Window parent,  Integer id,  String label = '''',
           Point pos = DEFAULT_POSITION,
           Size size = DEFAULT_SIZE,
           Integer style = 0,
           Validator validator = DEFAULT_VALIDATOR,
           String name = "button")
=end

  @b1 = Button.new(@mp, 1, :label=> ''1'')
  gs.add(@b1)
  evt_button(@b1.get_id()) { |event| button_click(event)}

  @b2 = Button.new(@mp, 2, :label=>''2'')
  gs.add(@b2)
  evt_button(@b2.get_id()) { |event| button_click(event)}

  @b3 = Button.new(@mp, 3, :label=> ''3'')

Your problem was adding a sizer to the panel and then adding the
GridSizer to that sizer.

I automated your button generation for kicks.

Try this

Sean

begin
 require ''rubygems''
rescue LoadError
end

require ''wx''
include Wx

class MyFrame < Frame
   def initialize()
     # One can use the following, commented version or the next 2
     #Frame.new(nil, -1, "Sudoku Puzzle").show()
    super(nil, -1, ''Sudoku Puzzle'', Point.new(220,100),
Size.new(600,480))
    @mp = Panel.new(self)

    # GridSizer.new(Integer rows,  Integer cols,  Integer vgap, Integer hgap)
    gs = GridSizer.new(9, 9, 2, 2) # My goal is to define a sudoku grid 9x9

    @buttons = Array.new(9)
    @buttons.each_index do |i|
      @buttons[i] = Array.new(9)
    end

    id = 0
    (0..8).to_a.each do |x|
      (0..8).to_a.each do |y|
        b = Button.new(@mp,id,:label=>id.to_s)
        @buttons[x][y] = b
        gs.add(b)
        evt_button(id) {|event| button_click(event)}
        id += 1
      end
    end

    main_sizer = Wx::BoxSizer.new(Wx::VERTICAL)
    main_sizer.add(gs,1,Wx::ALL|Wx::GROW,5)
    @mp.set_sizer(main_sizer)

    show()
  end # initialize

  def button_click(event)
    # code here
  end

end # MyFrame Class

class MyApp3 < App
 def on_init
    MyFrame.new
 end # on_init
end # MyApp3

#####
