fxruby users - Mar 2007 - need to call getApp

The following isn''t working.  I tried Fox::getApp(), FXId::getApp(), 
FXWindow::getApp(), and on the FXRuby website I couldn''t find what 
getApp() belonged to.  On the FOX website, it said FXId.  Assuming I''m 
not passing the app into the method, and the file has no outside 
information on what app might be using it, how do I getApp()?

require ''fox16''
include Fox

Class A
    def initialize(filename)
       @filename = filename
       @icon = nil
    end

    def set_icon
        File.open(@filename, ''rb'') do |file|
          @icon = FXJPGIcon.new(FXId::getApp(), file.read, 0, 
IMAGE_KEEP|IMAGE_SHMI|IMAGE_SHMP)
        end
    end
end

The FXApp.instance() class method should do the trick:

    @icon = FXJPGIcon.new(FXApp.instance, ...)

Note that you need to have actually constructed the FXApp prior to
calling FXApp.instance; otherwise, it will return nil.

Hope this helps,

That was exactly what I was looking for.  Thanks Lyle.
