I''m not aware of an HTML widget for FXRuby, much less a really
well-established one for FOX.

I think the best bet for someone (not me) would be to try to wrap Gecko
(Mozilla''s HTML rendering component) in a FOX window. Or if not Gecko,
some
other existing HTML widget. It won''t be pretty, and will take some
dedication on someone''s part, but it seems like the quickest path to a
working HTML widget in my mind.

A more interesting, but even less feasible, solution would be to write the
widget in Ruby itself. There are already HTML parsers for Ruby, obviously.
The big challenge would be working out the rendering side of it, i.e. how to
lay out and "draw" the web page into a FOX window.

Hmmmmm.  I''ll give it some think time. 

Another question: is it possible to change the background of a menu 
title on roll over ? I''m changing the borders, but I want the entire 
background color to change. 

Is there are mouseover event that is triggered on a control on mouse 
entry ?  I see some stuff for DND in FXWindow, but no other
references.

You might be able to accomplish this by catching the SEL_ENTER and 
SEL_LEAVE messages. The main things to remember are that your message 
handlers should return false (or zero) so that FOX goes ahead with the 
normal processing for those messages:

	menuTitle = FXMenuTitle.new(...)
	menuTitle.connect(SEL_ENTER) {
		puts "enter"
		false
	}
	menuTitle.connect(SEL_LEAVE) {
		puts "leave"
		false
	}

Hope this helps,

Lyle

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for.
