Greetings all, As you have noticed, I have been largely absent from the wxruby team for quite a while now. Fortunately, others have taken charge and continued to move wxruby forward. It''s still a great project, but I just can''t participate right now. I will be unsubscribing from both the dev and users mailing lists in a couple days. Because I will be packing for a long trip

wxRuby 0.4.0 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 Panther and MS Windows. Please report any bugs or feature requests here: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?group_id=35 Changes in this release include: * Many bugs were fixed. * Added grid sample program. * Windows binary now includes

Kevin, should we check this in to CVS as one of the our distributed samples?

Let me know when you''ve got the cvs repo labeled -- I''m already to go to build the 0.4.0 installer for Windows. Curt

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

Hi all, I spent about 8 more hours tonight, and I think I''m close to having a wxruby2 build that works with wxWidgets 2.6.3 and SWIG 1.3.29. It should run bigdemo as well as the other samples. Unfortunately, I probably won''t have much time to work on it until next weekend :-( Tonight''s frustration was with wxART_INFORMATION. It''s sort of a wxArtID and sort of

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 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''m trying to build wxruby-swig on windows with the idea of building a windows installer for it. I think that this would go a long way toward encouraging windows developers to try out wxruby-swig. What do you think? Are we far enough along to contemplate a release? Building wxruby-swig on windows is actually going pretty smoothly, but I want to build it with vc++ 7.1 to match the

I''ve gotten a lot farther building wxRuby than I did a few months ago. But its getting late here and I''m going to bed. In the meantime, does anyone know why I''m getting this compile error: Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 6.00.8168.0 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1988-1998.

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,

I''m a bit new to working on a rubyforge/sourceforge/open source project, so excuse my obliviousness. What is the preferred way of submitting a patch to wxruby? Thanks, Nick

I have a first cut of a windows installer for wxRuby available for testing. It can be downloaded with this URL: http://curthibbs.us/wxruby-mswin-0.2_debug.zip This installer currently assumes that you have installed Ruby from Andy Hunt''s one-click Ruby Installer for Windows, *and* that you have installed it in the default directory (C:\ruby). I still need to figure out how to read

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

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,

I''m just trying to plan out my week, and I wanted to see how everyone felt about a 0.5.0 release of wxRuby (not wxruby-swig). Are we ready for this? If not, what remains to be done? Curt

I guess this is mostly for Curt, but I wanted to toss it out there. I could really use a wiki to capture the information that gets posted to this list. Eventually we''ll want FAQ''s and HOWTO''s, as well as a "real" manual, and the wiki is great for collecting raw material. Also, we should have links to related projects, like wxrbbr, and projects written in

I just checked in some good fixes. You can see the (full) Changelog here: http://qualitycode.com/repos/wxruby/ChangeLog Notable items: - Added shanko''s grid sample (thanks!) - Added support for ComboBox#get_value - Fixed *all* the known crashing bugs. The way I "fixed" the problems with get_client_data was to remove the set_client_data and get_client_data implementations. I

Has anybody tried the new wxruby-swig from the msvc++ command line compiler using ''rake''? The rakefile seems to depend on the wx_config method, which doesn''t exist for msw because it doesn''t have BASH to execute the shell script. Has anyone hacked the rakefile to fix this? Nick

Kevin, I have attached a readme file for windows, and a patch file for extconf.rb (I slightly tweaked my settings). Tomorrow night I will work in the windows installer. For the this first cut I will do the installer packaging by hand. But for the future release I want to fully script the installer packaging and check the script and installer in to cvs. Call for Volunteers: If you are running
