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

I have subclassed a FXDialogBox and put a FXText in it for displaying a hex dump in my application. I want to change the font to a courier type font since it''s a hex dump. When do the following it works as expected: # A little dialog box to use in our tests class FXTextDialog < FXDialogBox def initialize(owner) # Invoke base class initialize function first super(owner,

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

Hi, folks. I''m trying to make a toolbar with buttons that change appearance when hovered over with the mouse. The docs on FXButton say that using BUTTON_TOOLBAR "causes the edge of the button to be raised when the cursor moves over it." What I''m getting is buttons without any frame, but they do not change appearance when the cursor moves over them. I''m

Hello, I have started learning FXRuby about 2 weeks ago. Now I''m trying to launch the scintilla_test.rb from the fxruby-1.6 installation directory (/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.16/examples) and get this error: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.16/lib/fox16/kwargs.rb:2007:in `old_initialize'': wrong number of arguments (8 for 0) (ArgumentError) from

Hi -- I just got your book FXRuby and am trying to get it working on Leopard -- I had no problems getting it to work on Vista or Ubuntu but when I tried to follow the post on your blog for Leopard I got the following error -- I don''t know enough about Leopard or Ruby for that matter to troubleshoot this myself so I was hoping someone may have run into this before and can offer a solution.

Is there a way to make an FXTable''s column widths (and row heights) unchangeable by the user? By experimentation it looks to me like leaving out TABLE_COL_SIZABLE and TABLE_ROW_SIZABLE from the options field in FXTable.new() has no effect. I can still drag the intersection between two column heading buttons to change the column width. The code I''m using to test this is

All, A couple of new build platforms have come into the picture since the last FXRuby release and I''m trying to make sure they''re supported. That is to say, I want to be able to provide precompiled binary gems so that users on those platforms don''t have to build everything from source. I think I''m there, but I could use your help testing if you have

I find that when a running fxruby program looses focus or another window is placed in front of it, when the fxruby window regains focus, many times the gui is now frozen or blank. This seems to happen especially frequently when the window covering it is a java or fox based application. Usually it comes back but sometimes it takes several minutes to do so. I would really like to find someway

Hi, I have a FXImageFrame widget and I would like it to show another image when I click on it. I''m having no luck with receiving a onclick via SEL_LEFTBUTTONRELEASE. ... imageframe=FXImageFrame.new(mainwindow,the_image,LAYOUT_EXPLICIT,0,0,20,20) imageframe.connect(SEL_LEFTBUTTONRELEASE) {p ''onclick received''} ... What is it that I''m missing?

I''m using an RXTable in my application and I would like to be able to select a row and then press the Delete key to delete the selected row. This does not seem to work, however, as apparently keypresses are not initially recognized. In my FXTable derived class I have: connect(SEL_KEYRELEASE) do |sender, selector, event| puts "code = #{''%X'' %

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"

Why is the width of an FXSplitter equal to 1 before the FXSplitter#create method is called? My splitter is configured to have LAYOUT_FILL_X, so wouldn''t its width be determined before its children were created? It''s not really a big deal, but I was configuring the split based on a preferences file during initialize, and couldn''t make it work properly. Doing it in

Hello Campers I''m not sure this is the right list to ask but: I''m using the junebug wiki (which is written in camping) for my own personal wiki. I''d like it to behave as a proper daemon, so it will start up at boot, get stopped properly at shutdown, keep a pid file in /var/run etc. This requires a little messing with the wiki script junebug makes in the wiki

Hi, i've just migrated from nt4 to samba 3.0.10-1.4E.9 with tdbsam, running on Centos 4.4 The net rpc vampire went fairly smoothly. Now that samba is running as the PDC (nt4 machine has been laid to rest) i am having trouble renaming computers in the domain. If i try this from the windows workstation (XP Professional) i get access denied. I use "root" or administrator which is

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

Suppose, for a moment, that I have a Camping app. It looks at something, like an RSS feed of upcoming events, and displays them if they meet a specified criterion. I look at the index page, it fetches the feed items and then displays them. Yay. Maybe it also writes them to a database. Which is great, so long as I keep looking at the page every so often. But what do I do while I''m

Cross-posted to the blog (at http://lylejohnson.name/blog/2010/08/04/moving-on/): When Jamis Buck wrote last year about ceasing development on Capistrano, his post really struck a chord with me. If this post reminds you of that one, it''s because I re-read it before sitting down to compose this one. It was the next best thing to having Jamis on hand to give me a pep talk before I had to
