I have a WxRuby application that takes a few inputs from the user and uses that information to search through a large file for matches. The application works very well, with one exception. If I click anywhere in the frame while the application is searching through the long file, the application hangs. Has anyone experienced anything similar to this? Any suggestions on how I can fix this? Thanks

I just uploaded a slightly revised version of the Mac wxRuby 0.2.1, named 0.2.1b. which is "slightly" smaller than the first copy. It''s about 88% smaller, but has the same contents, so it seemed worth updating. Thanks to Nick for figuring out the setting to shrink it, and for building a new version for us. The statistics no longer show how many people downloaded the

This long-awaited version is available from rubyforge: http://rubyforge.org/projects/wxruby/ The big news, of course, is that it includes binary builds for MS Windows and Mac OS X Panther. I may add one or more Linux binaries later, or they may have to wait for 0.3. This is still an early beta release, so it still has a number of known problems. If you find a problem that is not mentioned

I''ve seen a few e-mails about multithreading with respect to wxruby but nothing recent. Unless I''m mistaken, and that may be, there still appear to be problems. The following code seems to hang my spawned thread in favor of the wxruby event loop: Thread.new do puts "in thread" loop do sleep 5 puts "looping" end end puts "main

I think so (especially if you build from source), but I''m not 100% sure. I''ll forward this to the wxRuby user''s ML -- Kevin Smith probably knows.

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

Hey guys, I''m working on the start of incorperating wxSocket into a library that can be included with the Core, and a part of this, is to create a wxThread class, which will basically just be a barebone copy over of Ruby''s own Thread class. (This should also help when we get Ruby 2.0, which hopefully will have Native Threads, as we should still be able to get the base

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

Hi All, This is my first post and I am a complete (well almost complete) noob at WxRuby. I have programmed in Ruby for a while, but now I am trying my hand at a GUI base program running on Windows. There is quite a bit of serial communication between the app and a external device. The problem I am facing is a function call that takes a long time to complete before returning to WxRuby.

Hi, It seems like the wxruby homepage has been replaced by a mortgage broker. I do need to refinance, but I was more interested in some documentation on wxruby. Is this a sign that the project is fading into oblivion? If so, I would really like to know what new cross-platform library people are using for developing ruby desktop applications. Josh

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

Hi, I am very new to Ruby, but I know I can express myself in writing pretty well. If it''s OK to contribute to the documentation of WXRuby, How do I do that? I signed up for a membership on Sourceforge, but was not sure what to do after that. Thanks.

Hi If you''ve installed the latest wxRuby 1.9.6 on Windows and are having trouble running applications, please try the following steps: 1) Ensure that you have msvcr80.dll and msvcp80.dll available on your system. If you haven''t got them, they can be downloaded for free from http://www.dll-files.com/ and placed in your ruby/bin directory. 2) Copy a file called

After seeing contributions from Dmitry and Alex, I''m wondering how we can better organize and encourage user contributions. ORGANIZING Maybe identifying what is still missing in wxRuby-SWIG and publishing a prioritized todo list could useful to contributors. GETTING NOTICED It might be useful to post a link to the unassigned todo list each month to comp.lang.ruby and ask for

I just pushed a new wxruby-swig, which includes the known MSWin rakefile changes. It also has some significant internal improvements that will make it easier to add classes, and it includes support for one new class (wxEvent). wxruby-swig is now licensed under the "MIT license". wxRuby will remain under the wxWindows license as long as we are releasing the old code base. When we

Hi, I''m starting to use wxRuby for personal projects. Originally, I used wxPython in my company because they don''t want to install the Ruby environment just for me... But at home, I still prefer the Ruby language... So, wxWidgets is a great library, but wxPythons add some intersting stuff. I''m specially interested by the TreeListCtrl. it seems that this control

Curt, I just downloaded and tried your installer and the installation went fine. There are problems with the samples not finding their images files, but only when I try to run the samples from their Start menu shortcuts. When I edit the properties of a shortcut, and change the "Start in" folder to match the folder where the sample resides, then the problems go away. (As-installed,

Today, I noticed that a completely clean build of wxRuby on my desktop machine is about 5.8 megs, but on my laptop is about 9.8 megs. Both computers are running Debian GNU/Linux, but my laptop is more of a mix of releases, whereas my desktop is almost entirely Sarge/Testing. Both are using gcc 3.3.3. In both cases, I did a full "get", and did a make from scratch. Any ideas about
