fxruby users - Sep 2010 - Multiline text widget with text wrap without scroll bars?

Does a multiline widget with text wrap capability exist that does not have
scroll bars?

I attempted to set the visible attribute to the child scroll bars to false in an
FXText tool .... but that does not seem to work.

dave,

Of course I tried.  I spent hours.  I have scoured the ''Net, read
Lyle''s book, looked at the hierarchies.  Nothing I have tried has
turned off the damned scroll bars in a FXText object.

I, of course, tried to run babelfish.rb.

Of course, it wouldn''t run ...
- - -
babelfish.rb:4:in `require'': no such file to load -- tranexp
(LoadError)
        from babelfish.rb:4
- - -

So I installed the gem.

Reran ...
- - -
babelfish.rb:4:in `require'': no such file to load -- tranexp
(LoadError)
        from babelfish.rb:4
- - -

A mystery since     gem list --local produces (in part)
  tranexp (1.0.1)

I don''t know what screen output babelfish is supposed to generate, but
I am simply unable to create a FXText object that does not present scroll bars
to the user.

The code for my first attempt, just seeing what an FXText with
wordwrap turned on looks like, is here:

    http://gist.github.com/569051

When I run this one, I don''t get a horizontal scrollbar but I do see a
vertical one. So I looked at the API documentation and saw that FXText
is a subclass of FXScrollArea, then looked at that class''
documentation to see what its options are. The code for my second
attempt is here:

    http://gist.github.com/569058

The only difference here is in the options passed to FXText.new (I
mixed-in VSCROLLER_NEVER to turn off the vertical scrollbar). When I
run this version, I don''t get either scrollbar.

Hope this helps,

Lyle

Lyle,

It isn''t perfectly what I want ... but it got close.

Thank you ever so much!

Ralph
