fxruby users - Jul 2008 - FXMainWindow

Greetings,

I want to add icon to window using:

mainWindow = FXMainWindow.new(app, "Window Title",
                              "icon.ico", nil, DECOR_ALL,
                              mainWindowX, mainWindowY,
                              mainWindowWidth, mainWindowHeight)

and get error:

wrong argument type String (expected Data) (TypeError)

if I put nil instead everything works fine, so
so it''s about "icon.ico"

what is a proper way of initializing icons?

thx

The small icon and large icon arguments need to be references to
FXIcon objects. Try this instead:

    icon = FXICOIcon.new(app, File.open("icon.ico",
"rb").read)
    mainWindow = FXMainWindow.new(app, "Window Title", icon, ...)

Hope this helps,
