fxruby users - Feb 2010 - GUI Layout question

Hi there, I''m new to FXRuby and programming in general.  I''m
trying to
create a simple layout with only 2 elements in the window: a tabbook and a
statusbar.

I can get these 2 items in the window, but I''m having a bit of
difficulty
getting the tabbook to take up the whole top part of the window -- i.e. to
resize to fit_x and fit_y, but don''t overlap the statusbar (on the
bottom).

I downloaded foxGUIb 1.0.0 to see if it can help me sort out the UI elements
but I haven''t figured it out yet.  I think I''m still missing
something.
Here''s what I''ve tried so far:

Attempt 1:
-----
MainWindow
- horizontalFrame1
-- Switcher
--- TabBook
---- TabItem1
---- VerticalFrame1
----- button1
- StatusBar
-----

=> When I set the horizontalFrame layout properties to FILL_X and FILL_Y, it
fills the whole window going behind (or in front of) the status bar.  I
don''t want it to do that.  I want it to stop at/above the status bar.

In Attempt 2, I tried with 2 horizontal frames - putting the status bar in
the second hFrame, but I couldn''t seem to make it so the 2 horizontal
frames
play nicely together in the window.  The first hFrame always fills the whole
window hiding the second hFrame behind it.

I then removed the hFrames and played with the the Layout settings for just
the Switcher but I get the same effect - it fills the whole window and goes
behind the status bar but I want it to stop just above it.

Any suggestions?  I''m using Ruby 1.8.6 and Fox 1.6.28.

Paul.

Add statusbar first and make it go to the bottom of window
(LAYOUT_SIDE_BOTTOM IIRC), then add the tabbook and make it fill what
is left (LAYOUT_FILL).

That worked!  Wow. I never would have guessed that changing the order would
make a difference.  Thanks.
