http://visualwx.altervista.org/ A visual builder for wxWindows that purports to support Ruby. I''ll play with this some and see if I can design projects that work with wxRuby2. Roy

What do you think about adding a shebang line to the samples so they can be launched on linux/mac like you can on windows? Roy

I decided to try my hand at hacking SWIG and successfully produced a patch that fixes the error I demonstrated. I''m not -positive- it''s correct for all cases but I''ll re-run my version of SWIG over the library and see how things turn out. Roy

How''d we get listed on the top page of projects for Ruby? (See right side below ''Top Ruby Projects'') :) Roy

SWIG 1.3.29 isn''t going to cut it for us. We''ll have to wait until 1.3.30, unless I can hack together a nasty workaround for a problem with the object tracking. It seem that each SWIG module gets its own hash for tracking objects. This means that, for example, you create a find dialog (in FindReplaceDialog.cpp) events you get from it (from FindDialogEvent.cpp)

The latest cvs version of SWIG breaks a few things. I have patched common.i to fix most of it. There will be some other things later that should be compatible with all versions. Can someone test to see if this compiles with the old version? Roy -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed... Name: common.i.patch Url:

Small patch to correct spelling of lemonade. Should ask Sean if he really wanted it to be lemonaid. If not, here''s the patch. On another note... This sample works! Kudos. It is odd that the textbox doesn''t scroll. I suppose I may patch that, too. Roy _______________________________________________ wxruby-users mailing list wxruby-users@rubyforge.org

The ColourDialog (Darn Brits messing up the spellings of perfectly good words!) has a weird behavior. When you first open it you can''t select a color from the ''rainbow'' on the right side until you select a basic color on the left. I don''t think this was the case before we did the big inheritance change. Does anyone else remember if it worked properly

Two patches here: First one removes virtual from a function that shouldn''t have been virtual. Second one applies a typemap to catch GetRectFromChildWindow. For reasons that are completely beyond me the standard ruby OUTPUT typemaps don''t define directorargouts. I will take a stab at patching SWIG''s default typemaps someday so we get this fixed for free on all our

I was trying to fix the problem with wxImage and the char */unsigned char * thing today and I was going to hand-write the functions to translate between the two. While doing so I decided I''d clean up the SWIG error message to make it more clear. Here''s an example SWIG-generated argument error: in method SetData'', argument 2 of type ''wxImage *''

I might be a bit scarce this weekend -- I managed to score a late ticket to RubyConf! I''ll be in Denver hobnobbing with Matz. :) Roy

We include wx/wx.h in a lot of places. It seems from a (very) cursory examination that the current method is to include wx/wxprec.h. Seems to work fine including wx/wx.h so this may be entirely a non-issue. Does anyone have any feelings on this? Roy

This patch makes Unicode the default build for windows. You can override the default by setting a WXRUBY_NO_UNICODE environment variable. Roy _______________________________________________ wxruby-users mailing list wxruby-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wxruby-users

I was fiddling around with wxScintilla tonight and I added it to wxRuby. I haven''t gotten it really nicely integrated since I wanted to make it an optional component. Nicely, wxScintilla was built with SWIG in mind so [most] everything swigged beautifully after a little touch-up. I may fiddle with this some more if you guys think it would be worth adding to wxRuby2. Any thoughts?

I think we can mark this bug closed and check in the patch. Anyone have any concerns/questions before I do?

An article I wrote that provides a basic introduction to R has been published on Oreillynet.com. The article is titled "Analyzing Statistics with GNU/R". Here is the link: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/11/17/r_for_statistics.html Please feel free to post comments or interesting basic R scripts at the end of the article. Kevin Farnham

Hey guys, I''m really sorry to be so out of touch these days. We just hired two new programmers at work so I''m busy bringing them up to speed...in time for them to help us get a major release out at the end of the year. So my personal goals for wxruby participation at the moment are: 1. Respond to any support requests as quickly as possible 2. Respond to any questions from you

I think it''s time to get me onto the project at rubyforge so I can subscribe to the bug tracker. As we move forwards with more maintenance oriented tasks it will be helpful to be able to patch directly to SVN. For now, I''ll keep submitting patches to the list. Roy

This patch enables the char event and changes the set and kill focus events to be attached to the correct items
