[fxruby-users] Is it possible to create a pane dynamically
Hi!
I am new to FXRuby so excuse me for this stupid question. I need to
enter many different data and trying to create a vertical pane
dynamically using response from a SQL query.
I want these input form to appear in my main window. Created a class
based on FXMainWindow.
--------------- Code snippet ------------
class DbFace < FXMainWindow
attr_writer \
:title,
def addNew
vPane = FXVerticalFrame.new(@hWnd)
dTitle = FXLabel.new(vPane, at title,nil,LAYOUT_FILL_ROW)
end
def initialize(app, pane)
@hWnd = pane
@hApp = app
end
end
----------- End -----------------
I use this class from inside my program. As:
book = DbFace.new(app, @frame)
book.title = "Add new record"
book.addNew
The new dialog fields do not show up with this. Please tell me if I am
doing something wrong. Any example will be great.

Please tell me if I am > doing something wrong. Any example will be great.I think you''re just leaving out a call to create() for the newly-constructed widgets. What happens if you add a call to vPane.create() at the end of your addNew() method? def addNew vPane = FXVerticalFrame.new(@hWnd) dTitle = FXLabel.new(vPane, at title,nil,LAYOUT_FILL_ROW) vPane.create end Let me know if that does the trick. For more background on this, see: http://www.fox-toolkit.org/faq.html#CREATELATER Or, even better, buy the FXRuby book and read Chapter 7. ;) Hope this helps, Lyle

Hi Lyle, Thank you for the excellent observation! Adding a create did the trick. Now the code is working fine.

[fxruby-users] Is it possible to create a pane dynamically
Hi! Thanks to Lyle''s pointer - .create method has solved the pane creation problem. But there are other problem - how do I get rid of the pane. Multiple calls to this class keeps stacking the pane over the old one. In C++, I would have destroyed the old object - what do I do in FXRuby? vPane.hide - looks to be a work around; but I think this will keep the old objects in memory. Please suggest a good way to close the screen.

Try using removeChild with the pane''s parent. -----Original Message----- From: fxruby-users-bounces at rubyforge.org [mailto:fxruby-users-bounces at rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of Soumyanath Chatterjee Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 2009 8:10 AM To: fxruby-users at rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [fxruby-users] Is it possible to create a pane dynamically Hi!
