fxruby users - Mar 2010 - foxGUIb - how do you insert a title bar icon?

I''ve been guessing at this for a few hours now with no luck.

Using FoxGUIb, how do you add an icon/image to the title bar of the
MainWindow?

I know a few ways to do this using FXRuby, but I can''t get it with the
FoxGUIb-generated UI.

TIA.  Paul.

Hi Paul,
Just, do it as you would do it with FXRuby using the instance of the FXRuby
mainwindow. IIRC a variable called @topwin is generated by foxguib where you
can access it.

umm, I''m afraid I don''t understand this advice.

I tried modifying the construct_widget_tree method to include a
"w.icon"
property for the mainwindow, but it didn''t work. (I guessed, oh well.) 
I
tried adding "setIcon()" in the initialize and init methods but just
got
different errors.

Can you give an example in a line or two of how you can do this?

Thanks.

Ah, I see, you expect foxguib to generate the right code for you ;) ... I am
afraid that isn''t so easy, and I have forgotten about
foxguib''s internals
totally.

I was talking about setting the icon later in your hand coded extensions to
the generated code.

hth,

Wait, maybe I got you wrong.
Mind this: foxguib is generating FXRuby code so why should you not be able
to set the icon as you said you know how to do it using plain FXRuby. Maybe
this is a problem about calling the icon''s "create" method at
the wrong time
or not at all?

I am afraid without detailed error messages I can not help out here.

Since I don''t know where & how to set the icon with the FoxGUIb
code, I
don''t know which error messages you would be interested in.  All you
have to
do is generate a quick window and try to set the image.

Here''s a sample window.  How would you display an icon in the title
bar?

# source generated by foxGUIb 1.0.0

class MainWindow
    def initialize( parent)
        construct_widget_tree( parent)
        init if respond_to? ''init''
    end

    def construct_widget_tree( parent)
        @topwin        FX::MainWindow.new(parent){|w|
            @mainWindow=w
            w.wdg_name=''mainWindow''
            w.width=336
            w.shown=true
            w.y=265
            w.height=183
            w.title="show title bar image"
            w.x=47
        }
    end
    attr_reader :topwin
    attr_reader :mainWindow
end

#unit test
if __FILE__==$0
    require ''libGUIb16''
    app=FX::App.new
    w=MainWindow.new app
    w.topwin.show(Fox::PLACEMENT_SCREEN)
    app.create
    app.run
end

hi,
I just looked up the code in an old project of mine. this is the code I used
to configure the main window icons:

        @topwin.icon = loadImage "appicon32.png"
        @topwin.miniIcon = loadImage "appicon.png"

loadImage is defined in libguib16 afaik.

That''s awesome!  Totally helps.  Thanks!
I love how you can associate a large and small icon with the app at the same
time.  Didn''t know that.  Cool!

Cheers!  Paul.
