[fxruby-users] foxGUIb GUI and code separation question

Hi there, I created the sample program from the foxGUIb guide and it worked
okay.

Then I tried the example where the GUI and code are separated (i.e. see
http://www.mikeparr.info/rubyguib/firstprog.htm ) but I can''t get it to
work.

When I run the ExtendInches.rb script (exact code on the above page), I get
the following error:
---->rubyw ExtendInches.rbc:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`gem_original_require'': no such file to load -- FX (LoadError)
    from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require''
    from ExtendInches.rb:15>Exit code: 1----

What am I missing?

I tried changing the "#unit test" code to match the code from the
InchesX.rb
script but then I get a different error - still doesn''t work.

Please help.  TIA.

[fxruby-users] foxGUIb GUI and code separation question

Hi Paul,

I too use foxGUIb.


Mienrad (Henon) has help me lots with a project I''ve been working no in
the last year and I intend to do some screen casts to showcase problems
I''ve been working on over the past year and how to to correct them.

the first thing you need to look at is this bit of code (text taken from the
site you mentioned) with comments added by me.


require "InchesX"  # this being the foxGUIb generated source file -
the .rb file.

#    here you need to subclass the foxGUIb generated code
#    So if you called you generated code inches.rb then change the class line to
#        class InchesX < inches.
#    Of course you will also need to have a require above this SO...
#    on 1st line you''ll have require ''inches.rb'' -
the .rb may not be needed!!
#
# this is the 1st thing - subclassing YOU''RE event handling code from
the GUI code.
#
class InchesX
    #events
    def init
# each of the control names MUST be found in the GUIb generated source!
        convertButton.connect(SEL_COMMAND){
         	cmLabel.text=(inchesField.text.to_f * 2.54 ).to_s
        }

    end   # of events
end

#unit test
if __FILE__==$0
	require ''FX''
	app=App.new
# This line was something that got me good!
# ALWAYS REMEMBER if cutting and pasting to change this
# line below to the class name of your event handling code - I ALWAY FORGOT
# until after a few programs!
	w=InchesX.new app    
	w.topwin.show(0)
	app.create           
	app.run

end
Hope this helps, Google for foxGUIb and you''ll see a lot of posting
from me regarding issues I''ve had and i hope will help you with
problems you may face and from googling learn from my mistakes

HTH

ps Paul i have sent a private email to you with a sample program that works to
help you see things hope fully better.

[fxruby-users] foxGUIb GUI and code separation question

Hello Dave, thank you for your reply.  The sample code you sent in your
private reply helped me fix the code to make it work.

Here''s a summary of what I tried and did until I got it to work:

1) original code from the web site didn''t work.
- when I ran it, I get the error: "no such file to load -- FX
(LoadError)"

=> The problem seems to be with the "require
''FX''" line

- I noticed in your sample program you included the same lines from your GUI
script, so I changed the following lines from:

    require ''FX''
    app=App.new

to:
    require ''libGUIb16''
    app=FX::App.new

-> And now I don''t get the "cannot load file" error.

2) File loads, code still doesn''t work.  Now when I run the
ExtendsInches.rb
script, I get the following error:
---->rubyw ExtendInches.rbExtendInches.rb:6:in `init'': uninitialized constant
InchesX::SEL_COMMAND
(NameError)
    from ./InchesX.rb:6:in `initialize''
    from ExtendInches.rb:19:in `new''
    from ExtendInches.rb:19>Exit code: 1----

-> This is where the sample code you sent in your follow-up reply really
helped me.
I changed the following line from:

        convertButton.connect(SEL_COMMAND){

to:
        convertButton.connect(Fox::SEL_COMMAND){

-> and now the script works!!! =)

Someone should probably update the code in the foxGUIb guide.  This was very
frustrating to try and figure out.

Thanks for your help!  Cheers!  Paul.

[fxruby-users] foxGUIb GUI and code separation question

Should have seen the error myself.

Well you can see why i have so many posts floating around the web 

As I''ve said I intended to at sometime post a screen cast showing
things like that which are gotchas for people
new to fxruby and have found and like the foxGUIb.

If i can help please holler, but also post on the list as others may also help
and faster than I.

cheers,

Glad what i did has helped you.
