I have an fxRuby GUI app that I am having problems with. I want to bring up a help window from the main window when someone selects a help/help from the help menu. I have created a helpWindow that inherits from FXDialogBox. It has an FXMenuBar, FXStatusBar, and an FXtext which gets filled with help text from a file. When the help/help menu is selected from the main window, I make a new helpWindow,

In the sample program below I have a form of 6 text fields, in a scrolling window, followed by a row of function buttons. Problems: 1) For data entry purposes I''d like the function buttons NOT to be entered by pressing Tab keys, and retain their ''clickability'', but when the user Tab''s out of the last scrolling field (postcode) to have the form scroll to the

Hello Lyle, the Task, I want to accomplish: I''ve created a little app that is used on a PC with a touch screen. To ease hitting the keys, the keys and the scrollbars are really big (45 pixels). So the ScrollCorner is also really big and I just wanted to use this space by moving the ScrollDown Botton down to the position of the ScrollCorner (like the attachment shows) The code looks like

Hi all, I''m trying to get text on to the screen in response to pressing a button. This code doesn''t work, and I don''t know why. My puts command says that the window is shown, but it''s not displayed. Also, it seems to me that there should be an easier way to get text on a screen in response to pressing a button. Any hints? Thanks! Marlene require

From FXRuby Create Lean and Mean GUIs with Ruby - - - A serious shortcoming of FOX and FXRuby is the lack of a widget that can display HTML or rich text. The FXText widget is definitely not that kind of widget, although it provides some minimal support for ?styled? text. - - - Does such a widget exist yet? I did a Google search and the last time I could find the question asked and answered

Dear all, I have a design question: assume we have an FXText field containing a sentence The <best> Ruby version is the current one. with "best" highlighted, and there is a choice of words | most wonderful |, | cutest |, | most effective | to replace "best".

I have read what I could about SEL_UPDATE and I understand that the block(s) that get called "from" SEL_UPDATE only get called when "there is no more work to do". I took the splitter.rb example that comes with FXRuby. I put in a "puts" in one of the SEL_UPDATE blocks and I get about 4 a second. Not awful ... but ... why is it so slow? In my code which is ... more

Hi, I''m using FXRuby 1.6.13 under Windows XP / Ruby 1.8.6. I''ve noticed something strange when copying-pasting things between FXTable cells, and FXTextfields. ---------------------------------------------- 1) When copying the content of an FXTextfield, and pasting it into an FXTable cell, everything works fine. 2) When selecting an FXTable cell, issuing a "copy"

Hi, folks. I''m trying to make a toolbar with buttons that change appearance when hovered over with the mouse.

What I''m getting is buttons without any frame, but they do not change appearance when the cursor moves over them. I''m

When I empty and refill an FXTable multiple times with a large data set (10,000 rows x 1 column in the example below, around 1000 rows x 6 columns in a more complicated app), the application eventually fails with a segmentation fault. The number of repetitions required to produce the segfault is rather random, ranging from just a couple reps to 15 or 20 in some trials. The program disappears

Why is the width of an FXSplitter equal to 1 before the FXSplitter#create method is called?
