fxruby users - Dec 2006 - Exiting a DialogBox created with FoxGUIb

Dear All

I am new to FOX and FoxGUIb. I have found FoxGUIb very
useful and I have created an application with menus,
one of which calls a DialogBox for the user to enter
some values. After finishing the user will press OK to
save data. 

Unfortunately I don’t know how to let the
DialogBox know tha tonce the OK button is pressed it
should exit. It seems I need to send message ID_ACCEPT
to some recipient (not sure which) when the button OK
is clicked? But no idea how to do that with the code
that is generated by FoxGUIb as the button is created
in a different way to what I have seen in the examples
in the web, and I have no idea how to relate them (
I''m afraid I haven''t really understood the FXButton
API)

The dialog box examples I have seen do something like
the following:

   # Accept
    accept = FXButton.new(buttons, "&Accept", nil,
self, ID_ACCEPT, 
FRAME_RAISED|FRAME_THICK|LAYOUT_RIGHT|LAYOUT_CENTER_Y)


However the FoxGUIb creates a button doing:

FX::Button.new(@verticalframe7){|w|
                @button_ok=w
                w.wdg_name=''button_ok''
                w.text="Ok"
                w.width=21
                w.y=4
                w.height=21
                w.layoutHints=40
                w.x=26
                w.selector=FX::DialogBox::ID_QUIT

                @button_ok.connect(Fox::SEL_COMMAND){
                            lat = textfield_lat.text
                            lon = textfield_lon.text
                            heading
=textfield_heading.text                               
                                                #How
do I indicate that I want to accept and exit?:?
                                                      
                }
 }

So in this last example, how do I exit the dialog when
button is clicked?

Thanks very much for your help
Eduardo

> Hi Eduardo:
    Take a look at the example dialog.rb in the examples dir that came 
with FXRuby.
There they have a function

 def onCmdShowDialogModal(sender, sel, ptr)

That example should solve your problem.

If you don''t have the examples file look here

http://www.fxruby.org/

In the documentation, there are examples.  The dialog.rb example is 
there along with the code.

Dear all,

I have an application in which I want to show a warning
message "this will take some time..." if somebody
presses a button.
I have tried to do this with FXSplashWindow, but
without much success so far:

---
btn.connect(SEL_COMMAND) {
	msg=FXSplashWindow.new(self,''warn.gif'', opts=SPLASH_DESTROY,
ms=5000,text=''this will take some time'')
      system(...)
    }

---
Now, I get:

306:in `initialize'': No matching function for overloaded
''new_FXSplashWindow'' (ArgumentError)
        from f57.rb:306:in `initialize''
        from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.1/lib/fox16/responder2.rb:57:in
`onHandleMsg''
        from f57.rb:1073:in `runme''
        from f57.rb:1087
-------------------------------
What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance,

Axel
