fxruby users - Jun 2009 - Beginner question

Meinrad,

I for one would like more tutorials on using fxGUIb.

and how to use some of the other controls like matrix (presume it''s a
table type widgit and with little help info within each popup ? button within
event manager doesn''t help me much either - or is fxRI the one i
need??).


I must admit i am not the brightest programmer and what might seem self
explaitory to some is likely to be hard for me to interpret.

I learn best by doing but as of late haven''t had an itch to scratch so
to speak.

but have wanted to dabble with fxGUIb lately but - lacking good help/pointers
and what i''m after is _very_ basic things like capturing the enter
keypress. To get a response into a label (but later have it call a sqlite3
Select function) and have data servered up.

think there is a data awear widget but being very much a novice I''ve
not looked round much.
 
any pointers to better or more fleshed out tutorials?

rdgs,

Dave.

Sorry there are no other tuts that I know of about foxGUIb. I like hacking code
and don''t like writing tutorials ;) .... I suggest you read the FXRuby
guide and/or Lyles book.
FoxGUIb is a tool I wrote to help me and my co-workers with GUI creation. I made
it open source since I felt others will find it useful AS IT IS with all its
limitations and problems but I have other goals now and would like to move on.

If you have any questions about fxruby or guib, you are welcome to ask here on
the list.
