fxruby users - Nov 2007 - win32ole event handling

I''m evaluating FXRuby for my application.  So far everything is going
pretty
well.  The news on the book is good, but I wish it were available today!

First off, I''m not much of a Windows programmer (that''s what
makes FXRuby so
valuable to me).  I''m using win32ole to interface to a custom ocx. 
Calling
methods of the ocx works fine.  Now I need to receive event info from the
ocx and update my application window.

I''m lost on how to get this started.  Are there any examples that might
pave
the way?  Pick axe has win32ole event receiving paragraph, but it sure
doesn''t look compatible with app.run.

Thanks,
Barry

It''s possible that we''ll release it as a Beta Book sometime
before
April, but yeah, it''s still not quite ready for public consumption. ;)

The short answer is, I don''t know -- but I''ll look into it
ASAP. I''m
about to head out of town for the holidays, and I''ll have limited
internet access (eek!), but I wanted to acknowledge that I''d seen the
question. Maybe I''ll get lucky and someone else will answer in the
meantime.

Cheers,
