similar to: wxruby-swig progress report

Hi everyone, As Kevin has just announced, wxruby-swig has been moved into CVS as a toplevel project. It still is not in a "releasable" form yet, but it now builds on more systems than it doesn''t, and is moving towards stability. Because of the complexity of the build environment, we''re using rake (http://rake.rubyforge.org) as a build system instead of the standard

I''ve just gotten wxruby-swig to compile with wxWidgets 2.5 on Mac OS X. Thankfully, it mostly consists of getting rid of already depricated methods from the widget classes. I need to try with Linux and Win32, but it should be a smooth transition. Nick

We''ve had some discussion in the past about the wxruby vs wxruby-swig name, and how they are a bit confusing. My big problem with ''wxruby-swig'' is that unless you know what ''swig'' is, it''s not a terribly useful (or sexy) postfix. It''s like naming a car after it''s manufacturing process - "the all new Acura

Hi Following on from some talk last year of creating gems for wxruby, I''ve attached a first try at them (for 0.6.0, not wxruby-swig). I mainly made them because I want to ease installation of Weft QDA by adding wxruby (and sqlite) as gem dependencies, but hopefully they will be generally useful. A couple of queries: 1) Who should be listed as author? 2) It doesn''t include

As a member (and former leader) of the wxruby team, I thought I would share the state of the wxruby world. The current release is 0.6, and it has

wxRuby 0.6.0 has been released and is now available for download from RubyForge at http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/ This release includes binary builds for Max OS X and MS Windows. Changes in this release include: * Additional widget support in XRC (thanks to Marshall Elfstrand) * Addition of wxScrollbar (thanks to Hans Harmon of Pinnacle Technologies Inc) * Addition of wxGrid event handlers (thanks

Hello, is it possible to code a wxWidgets GUI in C++ and pass the whole wxApp or just single windows to embedded Ruby code? This would be very nice to provide a scriptable plugin system.

Hi Now we''ve got the download problems nailed, shall we do an announcement on comp.lang.ruby? I can do it if you''re really busy, but Kevin I think you have first refusal as you''re owed the biggest chunk of kudos for getting us this far. re patch backlog: no worries - just clearing the decks before having another go at integrating wxScintilla - but I can''t

Was trying to understand more about the internals of wxruby-swig, where does the big chunk of XML comes from? I saw something similiar in Python, is that massaged out of there? The codes produced by extractxml.rb and wxclasses-2.4.2.xml is quite different from the original header files. Just for example the WxDialog class. OnXXX are non-virtual in WxWidgets, but virtual in wxruby-swig

I have recently started to use wxRuby, because I have used the wxWidgets library from C++ for a few years and found it an excellent toolkit. I am using Ubuntu 8.04 and version 1.9.6 of wxRuby. A problem though is a number of instabilities. This may be due to my own ignorance, but I have usually found C++/wxWidgets, once the program compiles it will at least stay working, if at times

Hi We''re all keen to get a release out, for lots of reasons: getting more people testing, showing people the progress we''ve made, etc. So I suggest that we now look to release an alpha version very soon, based pretty much on the current state of CVS plus pending check-ins. Sure, it has some bugs, some missing features and segfaults occasionally - but my experience on OS X

When operating with a wxGrid is there a way to get a reference to the TextCtrl field that is created when you start typing in a cell. Also is there a way to get mouse events to work with a wxGrid, so far I can''t get any of them to work. I had tried various combo''s of: @grid.evt_left_down(){ |event| puts "Left mouse is down"; } using evt_left_down, evt_left_up,

Hi. First of all, thank you for your hard work - wxRuby (with wxSugar) is a wonderful tool! I have been playing with it on and off for a year or so for toy projects and really like it! I need to play mediafiles (mostly mp3s) from within an application. In wxwidgets (the c++) I can use wxMediaCtrl. As I understand it this class is not implemented in wxRuby - right? Is there a reason for this - is

Any chance of incrementing the ol'' version number a bit more aggressively? Doing so could really help wxRuby adoption if done right: http://fishbowl.pastiche.org/2003/07/28/version_numbers_and_you -- Ryan "John" Platte Custom services, NIKA Consulting http://nikaconsulting.com/

Hi all, How soon can we do our alpha (binary gem) release? 1. I would like to get the samples working a bit better, but am ok simply documenting most of the current problems. Do the samples crash every few minutes for other people? Or is it just me? I would like to have a copyright/license comment at the top of every sample file before the alpha release. 2. I would like to receive and merge a

I just joined this list, have info to share, and some questions. As background, I happen to be a blind person who uses a screen reader utility to operate the computer. I use the keyboard rather than mouse for input and the screen reader, called JAWS, provides output in synthetic speech. This generally works well for standard or common controls of Windows, which WxWidgets wraps (since they are

Hey Guys, This just came over the rubytalk list. Does anybody have any Debian experience? BTW, one thing this project *really* could use is people to package wxruby for <your distro here>. You don''t need SWIG/C++ experience for it, and a little work could help a lot of people. Nick -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Help a newbie pick a gui tool kit Date: Sun, 13

Hi I''ve built WxWidgets (2.5.4) and wxruby-swig (CVS) from source on OS X (.3). I''ve got something called wx.bundle in lib/ that looks the right sort of size - 2.5MB - but I don''t know what to do with it to install it - no rake install or make install? btw - wx on OS X looks fantastic, esp after seeing a Tk interface inside Aqua this am ... cheers alex

Hey Alex and fellow developers, I figured I''d split this off into a seperate discussion, to get an idea of what to look at with this. Ofcourse, with every first step, there needs to be some kind of outline set forth to split up wxRuby2 into multiple libraries, to ensure coherance amongst the developers, and future development, so people will know, this goes to this, this goes to
