fxruby users - Nov 2004 - Creating widgets after initialize of the main window

Hello there

I have just got into learning FXRuby, and have a problem I can not solve - last
night at #ruby-lang could not help either. I''m sure you can easily
solve it :)

Unfortunately I don''t have the actual source code here, but the point
is the following:

def ininialize(app)
   ...

   @frame = new FXVerticalFrame.new self, ...
   @btn1 = new FXButton @frame, ...
   @btn2 = new FXButton @frame, ...

   @btn1.connect(SEL_COMMAND) do |a,b,c|
     @btn3 = new FXButton @frame, ...
     puts "i''m here"
   end

   ...
end

My problem: @btn1 and @btn2 buttons are created/shown well, but the @btn3 (which
I create in the select event handler of @btn1) is not shown at all, but the
execution gets there ("i''m there" is printed).

I tried the following - without success:
- creating FXListBoxs instead of FXbuttons
- calling @btn3.create explicitly
- playing around with update, repaint, forceRefresh, ...

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Calling @btn3.create should have done the trick. If you have a short example
program (not a code fragment) that demonstrates the problem, we can take a
look to see what might be going on.
