I would like to be able to get the PC system date/time as you can in ruby.
not exactly sure why i''m not getting it currently!
I''m doing this at the moment.
mydate = Date
mytime = Time
these failed so added a .now and it still failed!!!
looked at the fxruby Rdoc site and found no luck their as yet (and googled)!
dave.

Hi
Try this
require ''date''
@appldate= FXDataTarget.new(Date.today().to_s)
FXLabel.new(frame, "APPL Date",:opts =>
JUSTIFY_LEFT|LAYOUT_FILL_X)
FXTextField.new(frame, 10, at appldate, FXDataTarget::ID_VALUE) do
|theTextField|
theTextField.layoutHints = LAYOUT_FIX_X|LAYOUT_FIX_Y
theTextField.text=@appldate.value
end
regards
Nataraj

Len, Many thanks, two two others sent me similar pointers and i had taken it for granted that FXruby might have had it''s own datetime handling routines - Doh light has since switched on Dave. --- On Wed, 26/8/09, Len Lawrence <lcl at tarazed.demon.co.uk> wrote:> From: Len Lawrence <lcl at tarazed.demon.co.uk> > Subject: Re: [fxruby-users] to get the system date / time? > To: fxruby-users at rubyforge.org > Received: Wednesday, 26 August, 2009, 12:33 AM > dave L wrote: > > I would like to be able to get the PC system date/time > as you can in ruby. > > > > not exactly sure why i''m not getting it currently! > > > > I''m doing this at the moment. > > > > mydate = Date > > mytime = Time > > > > these failed so added a .now and it still failed!!! > > > > looked at the fxruby Rdoc site and found no luck their > as yet (and > > googled)! > > > > dave. > > > > > > Email slow, clunky, unreliable?

[fxruby-users] to get the system date / time?
I''m not 100% sure, but you should be able to just do: require ''time'' my_date = Date.now my_time = Time.now ------Original Message------ From: Len Lawrence Sender: fxruby-users-bounces at rubyforge.org To: fxruby-users at rubyforge.org ReplyTo: fxruby-users at rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [fxruby-users] to get the system date / time?

Yes I have since found out from my 1st posting for help that I had to require date in and so time too. Have a need also to split text from a FXList into other controls (allow data to be changed) and bashed my head as i thought i''d have to invent the wheel again not thinking about just requiring string to do the heavy lifting for me). So i have now been able to kill more birds with the one call for help. By the way have you played with foxGUI? I''m very much a noob with both ruby, FXruby and foxGUI. but making head way in 2 steps forward 1 back. many thanks for your relpy. Dave. PS sending this to you personnally as posting to list won''t enlighten other anymore than what has been posted on my date/time question and reply to date, BUT I am interested in hearing back from you on the foxGUI as i''d like to get someone with more experiance to help me with some problems i have with it. --- On Thu, 27/8/09, jkinsella at ancillaryservices.com <jkinsella at ancillaryservices.com> wrote:> From: jkinsella at ancillaryservices.com <jkinsella at ancillaryservices.com> > Subject: Re: [fxruby-users] to get the system date / time? > To: fxruby-users at rubyforge.org > Received: Thursday, 27 August, 2009, 10:49 AM > I''m not 100% sure, but you should be > able to just do: > > require ''time'' > > my_date = Date.now > my_time = Time.now > ------Original Message------ > From: Len Lawrence > Sender: fxruby-users-bounces at rubyforge.org > To: fxruby-users at rubyforge.org > ReplyTo: fxruby-users at rubyforge.org > Subject: Re: [fxruby-users] to get the system date / time? > Sent: Aug 25, 2009 8:33 AM > > dave L wrote: > > I would like to be able to get the PC system date/time > as you can in ruby. > > > > not exactly sure why i''m not getting it currently! > > > > I''m doing this at the moment. > > > > mydate = Date > > mytime = Time > > > > these failed so added a .now and it still failed!!! > > > > looked at the fxruby Rdoc site and found no luck their > as yet (and > > googled)! > > > > dave. > > > > > > Email slow, clunky, unreliable?

I have actually stopped using FOX altogether and gone back to using Tk. 18 years experience with Tcl/Tk so it was natural to adopt RubyTk. fxruby fits in better with the object hierarchy of Ruby but Tk has functionality which hardly exists in other graphic toolkits and which I need every day, like an intuitive listbox and the peerless TkCanvas. Good luck with the learning curve. I have been programming for 46 years but am still on the learning curve. Like you it is still 2 steps forward and 1 back, or even +3 -2. Len
