wxruby users - Jun 2004 - New wxRuby code is in CVS

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 *think* they are 
really only necessary in a static language like C++. I was able to 
remove the few uses of them from our samples pretty easily. If you have 
an app that uses them, I can help you figure out a workaround. I plan to 
support them in the upcoming swig version of wxRuby.

I also removed Event#get_event_object. This one was also easy to remove 
from the sample code, but I am less sure that it won''t be needed in
real
applications. Again, I can help you find a workaround, and it will be 
supported in the swig version.

The other crash fixes (in TreeCtrl and ListCtrl) turned out to be much 
easier than I had thought. The new code is smaller and simpler than the 
old code, in addition to avoiding the crashes. Yea!

I need to check the README file(s) to see if anything needs to be 
changed in them. Otherwise, I think I''m ready to call this the 0.4.0 
release. There were a few other change requests that I had hoped to get 
in, but each of them would be too much effort at this point. Most of 
them will be zero-effort when (or after) we shift to swig.

Let me know right away if there are any other urgent requests for 0.4. 
Otherwise, we will do the binary builds later this week.

Thanks,

Kevin

I was just about to answer that I wouldn''t be able to do a Windows
build for
a few days when I got to this part -- so it works out perfectly!

I don''t know if this bug has been reported but it is definitely not a
crashing bug.

If you pass a string to the log message ctrl with length >= 4096 then
you get garbage towards the end. e.g. Add the following line below line 698
in the controls.rb sample and then click on the Clear button to see what I
mean.

log_message(''A'' * 4096)

Please ignore if this has been reported and taken care of,
Thanks,
