wxruby users - Nov 2003 - Statusbar usage

Hi!

While playing around with a little example, I''ve realized, that I
don''t
exactly know, how to work with the statusbar. When just calling
set_status_text (setStatusText in C++), then repeating messages don''t
display again. I guess there should be a magic rule about statusbar''s
text hierarchy, but can sy give me some hints about it?

Maybe some wxruby hints will also be useful.
I''ve found log_status, but what is that?

thx

Gergo

I don''t quite know what you mean by "repeating messages". I
modified the
nothing.rb like this:

class MyFrame < Wx::Frame
   def initialize(title)
     super(nil, -1, title)

     create_status_bar(2)
     set_status_text("Quick status")

     evt_left_down do set_status_text("Down") end
     evt_left_up do set_status_text("Up") end
   end
end

When I press the left mouse button, it shows Down, and when I release it 
it shows Up.

Perhaps the problem is that you are setting the status bar text 
repeatedly within in a processing loop of a single event handler, so 
wxRuby never has a chance to update the UI? If you can describe your 
situation a little bit, I can probably suggest how to structure it to work.
