=begin I am trying to understand how FlexGridSizer works and I have written a small test application using the latest wxRuby 0.4.0 on Win XP (Home). I cannot get static text ''Week'', ''Day'' and ''Date'' line up above the OK button. I have tried all combinations of ALIGN flags, but I either got the text sticking far too close to the left edge of

I''ve found vague mentions of various attempts at creating an ActiveRecord adapter for the KirbyBase pure Ruby DBMS, but nothing which looks like it''s actually working. Anyone know of such an adapter that is functional and available? b

Hi, I am writing some help about post formatting. I am using redcloth to format the text, and in a FAQ, also formatted with redcloth, I explain what to type to what to obtain. So, how could I escape ''*'', ''#'' & Co, to have an output like <redcloth> Type *word* to obtain <strong>word</strong> </redcloth> I tried "Type

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 all, I mentioned this on the forum but wasn''t sure if anyone was paying attention. I was just wondering if it would be possible to replace the get_something/set_something style methods with the more Rubyish something/something= style (i.e. uniform access). For example, the Button class currently has button.get_label and button.set_label("foo"). It would give me warm,

Hello. I reeeeally want to get Instiki running at my day job, but they are Microsoft-heads. While I can probably sell them on trying Rails, they are definitely going to want the database to sit in our SQL Server instance with our other databases. I can''t get instiki to create the tables in sql server though (I''ve added ADO.rb, and gotten a connection). When I run the

Any recommendations on how I can get mathematical equations into my resulting html? (Besides using x^2^ type markup.) I figure I could parse out equation text from my main text before RedCloth ever sees it... and then maybe create png''s somehow from it, putting the links to them back into the main text before handing it over to RC. But I don''t know of a util that will generate

= About Ackbar Ackbar is an adapter for ActiveRecord (the Rails ORM layer) to the KirbyBase pure-ruby plain-text DBMS. Because KirbyBase does not support SQL, joins or transactions, this is not a 100% fit. There are some changes to the ActiveRecord interface (see below), but it may still be useful in some cases. = URIs Ackbar: http://ackbar.rubyforge.org KirbyBase:

Hi Guys, I''m having serious troubles resizing a dialog with a ListCtrl. The ctrl will not resize horizontally no matter what I''m doing. I''ve attached a sample code below. Any help will be greatly appreciated, as I really like wxRuby :) I''ve also tried to copy from the example from listtest.rbw, but that also doesn''t seem to work. Another thing

hello, is the instiki project still being developed? it seems the web site is down for a couple of weeks now, and almost no activity is going on on the developer mailing list. on a related note, are you aware of other actively developed rails-based wikis? many thanks in advance.

Hi wxRuby gurus, I remember a while back, Zach Dennis was working on a mini Spreadsheet app using wxGrid when the issue of lack of wxGrid event handling was discussed. I think Kevin (or Assaph?) had suggested some workarounds until the Swig based version is out. Could not figure out from the archives exactly what the final resolution was, but I am stuck at the same spot and am desperately in need

Hi, Thanks to the newly added event handlers for Wx::Grid in the 0.6.0 release, I can now provide a much slicker intreface to my "data widgets" which heavily rely on that control. However, I haven''t quite figured out how to programmatically scroll to the last row of a populated grid (actually, the first empty row). So say that I have a grid with 200 rows only 20 of which

In doing my testing I''m wondering if maintaining backwards compatability for existing applications is important. The question boils down to this: Are there sufficient applications that are using wxRuby (pre swig) that we should expect to have to support all/most without changes or should we expect that most applications will need to learn the ''new'' ways things

Hi Just released a first version of the WxRuby project I''ve been working on. Firstly, I wanted to say thanks to everyone on this list who''s helped at various points over the past year - every time I ran into a problem someone jumped in with advice. A very brief explanation of the app - I''m a sociologist/anthropologist by trade, and the app is intended for use in

Ok, my first complete swipe for the new docs (but still with old rdoc default output templates) can be seen at: http://www.mktec.com/dev_www/wxruby-docs/ Most of the classes/methods documentation came out fine, but I still need finetune because some methods don''t get documented at all, like methods in the classes Bitmap and Frame. Once I can get it so all things get documented

I am looking for a good CMS based on Rails that has at least these attributes: 1. Ease of use ( as it will be used by people who are not html literate) 2. Very easy/flexible to change layout. So far I have looked at http://rcms.oopen.de/Home/ (have not installed it yet) http://adminpages.flowdev.de http://demo.radiantcms.org/admin/pages http://www.eribium.org/eribium/ MuraveyWeb does not seem

I''ve been reading up on Berkeley DB and I''ve been refelcting on the Rails philosophy and it just seemed to me like the two should go together hand in glove. Rails seeks to abstract the programer from squirrely database coding which is great. My only problem is that you''re still left with a large component, namely the databsase server (MySQL, PostgreSQL..etc) which

Could someone please give some instructions for downloading, building, and installing redcloth from svn? To retrieve it, I''ve tried the basic: svn checkout svn+ssh://code.whytheluckystiff.net/svn/redcloth and svn checkout svn+ssh://anonymous at code.whytheluckystiff.net/svn/redcloth but I just get a connection refused message.
