Anyone know how to draw in wxRuby? I want to draw a graph, and have it update as new data comes in. I see stuff about Device Contexts, but I can''t find anything about how to use them, associate them with a panel, or anything like that. -Kurt

So, having subscribed recently to the ruby-talk mailing list, I''ve noticed that wxruby doesn''t seem to have the "respect" of other GUI libraries. I know GUI-library preference is a holy war almost up there with vi versus emacs, but since I''m a wxruby developer, I''d like to know what people "don''t" like about wxruby. Otherwise,

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

Hi, I tried to think of a good subject, but that was the best I could come up with. Here is my problem (pretty much same as before). I have a program I''ve written, and I want to write a wxRuby front end for it. There are hooks in the program that call methods in the wxRuby part of things, however, nothing happens in the actual program unless I''m triggering events in the

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 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

Hello, All. I`m trying to compile wxruby with wxwidgets 2.6 under windows with latest mingw, but have lot of troubles. wxwidgets and ruby 1.8.2 compiles just fine, examples work pretty well. To make wxruby compile (non-swig, from cvs) i was made some minor changes like explicit cast ("IN2NUM(...)" to "INT2NUM((long) ...)"), removed some constant definitions from const.cpp

hi I''ve got an MDI-based app, and when it''s restarted i''d like it to remember the contents and state (eg line pos in a TextCtrl) of the MDI Children. Any tips on how to easily marshal this sort of thing? Also, the default text size for the contents of controls (ComboBox, Text etc) is quite small on my monitor (MSWIN) - any suggestions on how to adjust this in a

Hey everybody, I''ve made some progress on wxruby-swig, and have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that the MSVC version finally can run all of the samples provided in CVS. I''m using the same solve-by-ignore solution to the GC problem that wxruby uses, so there is far less crashing goin'' on. Depending on the next few weeks, we might be able to

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

I''m fairly new to the Ruby world, particularly WxRuby, so please forgive me if this is ground that''s been covered in the past. I''m trying to load a frame from an XRC file (created using DialogBlocks), and I''m having trouble getting an instance of the Gauge object using the Wx::Window.find_window_by_xxx methods. I''m trying this on Windows XP,

Another question: If I have a panel that contains a sizer that contains, for example, some number of gauges, and I want to add another gauge on-the-fly, can I do that? Every time I try modifying things at run-time, it just messes everything up. -Kurt

Good news and bad news. First he good news. wxruby-swig now compiles on Linux, Mac, and Windows using wxWidgets 2.5. I just patched a bug with the paint method today, but it''s getting very close to the first release of wxruby. With a little more cleanup, I think we''re getting ready to do a first release of it, which will hopefully replaced wxruby. Of course, the debug spew

I''m trying to use the wxLC_VIRTUAL style of the wxListCtrl, which seems to require that I subclass the control (as opposed to being able to provide a data model a la Swing or Cocoa), and I''m running into trouble when loading the control from an XRC file. Apparently I need to specify the name of my subclass in the XRC as follows: <object class="wxListCtrl"

Attached is a patch and some extra files to fix our ObjectPreviouslyDeleted crasher with the paint method. As discussed, it just re-implements the method in Ruby. I created a directory lib/wx/classes as a place to hold Ruby extensions to the API. The attached app.rb and window.rb files should be added to it. When this patch is applied, files in that directory are automatically required on

REMINDER: wxruby-swig is an experimental rewrite of wxRuby, using SWIG. It is not yet useful. The official wxRuby is still at 0.2.1. The 0.0.3 release of wxruby-swig is able to run the "minimal.rb" sample, which includes menu event handling. As always, it is available at: http://qualitycode.com/repos/wxruby-swig/ I also created a tarball this time, so you can just download that and

Sorry things have gone silent on the release front, but I have some good news: I''ve gotten wxruby-swig to build as a OS X framework. This has a couple of ramifications 1) wxruby for the Mac will finally exactly like its Linux and PC counterparts, menu bar and all. 2) Bundling wxruby applications becomes a lot easier. 3) The next binary installer should be able to support darwinports,

Hi, Has this problem been resolved? I encountered the same problem on my FC3 system with wxGTK-2.4.2 and wxruby-0.6. Thanks. Stephen [Wxruby-users] Re: Problem building wxRuby: htmlproc.h not found *Nick* devel at nicreations.com

Hi, Are there any effort in making wxDocument, wxView, etc types of classes avaiable under wxRuby? For supporting SDI/MDI architecture. Cheers, Phuah Yee Keat

First of all, just wanted to say big thanks for all the great work on wxruby2 .. I''ve been a user of 0.6 for a long time and its proved very useful over the years. It''s great to finally have a multi-platform, gem installable ui toolkit that doesn''t suck! Secondly, thanks also for wx-sugar. I was drowning in sizers and started to write my own layout library ... but
