Great! I''m a bit stuck with the Form designer until that works. Do delegates work yet? Dermot -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Yes - delegates work. Have you gotten success in integrating IronRuby into the VS editor yet?

The VS editor supports Ruby - it doesn''t care which flavor it is. I can edit and launch IronRuby from the editor just like I can with JRuby or classic Ruby. I can also generate IronRuby code from the Form Designer and generate a Form layout back from the Ruby code. What I can''t do is run the generated IronRuby like you would VB or C# ... that''s why I need the Windows inheritance in IronRuby. The VS Form Designer is very picky and works in a very specific way. You really have to do exactly what it expects you to do. I''ve also got to code the Form Designer merge logic. I haven''t tried the debugger yet. The basics should be reasonably easy, but I suspect the difficult bit will be getting the inspectors to work. I spent a lot of time with Matz''s Ruby getting VS debug expressions (the watch windows and debug data tips) to work correctly. The main problem is that there is no defined syntax for the string returned by inspect - you can return what you like - and there are at least 7 or 8 different formats. The bulk of the work is really stitching the whole thing together - there''s no show stopper in there (but the Form Designer can be a real pita). My problem is that I''m doing this in my spare time - of which I don''t have a lot :( Dermot -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Right now the one that we''re using doesn''t report line / column positions correctly. Once that works, we''ll be able to emit the correct PDBs, which should enable the VS debugger to "just work".

Hi Dermot, Do you have any sample Ruby code generated by the Windows Forms designer? I''d like to try it out so I can see what the issues are to get it working. Thanks!

Hi John,
Here''s some very simple text: a form, a checkbox and a button with a
couple of attributes. I haven''t been able run this in IR at all so
I''ve
no idea if it will work or not. However, it looks like the sort of thing
that the Form Designer produces in C# or VB. Tt does ''round
trip''
between the designer and persistant store, so it''s internally
consistent
- I think :)
require ''mscorlib''
require ''System''
require ''System.Windows.Forms''
require ''System.Drawing''
class Form1123 < System::Windows::Forms::Form
attr_accessor :checkBox1
attr_accessor :button2
def InitializeComponent
self.button2 = System::Windows::Forms::Button.new()
self.checkBox1 = System::Windows::Forms::CheckBox.new()
self.SuspendLayout()
#
# button2
#
self.button2.Location = System::Drawing::Point.new(79, 113)
self.button2.Name = "button2"
self.button2.Size = System::Drawing::Size.new(75, 23)
self.button2.TabIndex = 0
self.button2.Text = "button2"
self.button2.TextAlign = System::Drawing::ContentAlignment.TopCenter
self.button2.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true
#
# checkBox1
#
self.checkBox1.Anchor = System::Windows::Forms::AnchorStyles.Top |
System::Windows::Forms::AnchorStyles.Bottom |
System::Windows::Forms::AnchorStyles.Left
self.checkBox1.AutoSize = true
self.checkBox1.Location = System::Drawing::Point.new(79, 61)
self.checkBox1.Name = "checkBox1"
self.checkBox1.Size = System::Drawing::Size.new(90, 17)
self.checkBox1.TabIndex = 1
self.checkBox1.Text = "checkBox1"
self.checkBox1.TextAlign = System::Drawing::ContentAlignment.TopLeft
self.checkBox1.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true
#
# Form1123
#
self.ClientSize = System::Drawing::Size.new(284, 264)
self.Controls.Add(self.checkBox1)
self.Controls.Add(self.button2)
self.Name = "Form1123"
self.ResumeLayout(false)
self.PerformLayout()
end
end
good luck!

A quick look at the code: Enums are broken today, so that won''t work without some helper library that just returns the enum value. This is on our short list of bugs to fix already. Jomes has already fixed inheritance and will be posting a patch for that soon to unblock you (we''re still going to code review it internally and run it through our testing infrastructure before it gets out).

I attached a patch that fixes inheriting from a CLR base class. Of course, there''s still a lot more work to do, but it lets you do the basic things like inherit from a CLR type and add methods in Ruby. - John M -----Original Message----- From: ironruby-core-bounces at rubyforge.org [mailto:ironruby-core-bounces at rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of John Lam (DLR) Sent: Monday, October 08, 2007 3:08 PM To: ironruby-core at rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] trouble with super and .NET classes A quick look at the code: Enums are broken today, so that won''t work without some helper library that just returns the enum value.

Right now the one that we''re using doesn''t report line / column positions correctly. Once that works, we''ll be able to emit the correct PDBs, which should enable the VS debugger to "just work".Will there be any effort put into making existing Ruby debugging tools work, like debug.rb included in the Ruby stdlib and ruby-debug, the C-based extension that allows fast debugging through a similar interface? Most of the Java-based tools have based their debugging capabilities on debug.rb and ruby-debug, and soon will have a jruby-debug fast debugger to use. The JRuby compiler also enables the possibility of using a normal Java debugger, but being mixed-mode (both interpreted and compiled) complicates that somewhat. Is the current effort to only support PDB-style debugging? (FYI, you may want to look at the debug-commons project on RubyForge, it''s a community effort between some Eclipse guys and some NetBeans guys to build a common framework for debugging Ruby in those tools). - Charlie
