wxruby users - Jul 2004 - app state persistence. text size

hi

I''ve got an MDI-based app, and when it''s restarted
i''d like it to
remember the contents and state (eg line pos in a TextCtrl) of the MDI 
Children. Any tips on how to easily marshal this sort of thing?

Also, the default text size for the contents of controls (ComboBox, Text 
etc) is quite small on my monitor (MSWIN) - any suggestions on how to 
adjust this in a fairly portable, general way?

good news about msvc-swig. when it''s stable enough i''d be
interested in
trying to swig some classes.

cheers

Is it small on all applications or just your wxRuby app?

no, just my WxRuby App. I''m not really sure where it''s picking
the
default font it uses up from; can''t see anything like it in my desktop 
settings.

I don''t know of anything in wxWindows that makes that easier except for
wxConfig, and I don''t think thats in wxRuby yet. Marhalling in Ruby is
so easy
that I''d suggest keeping data in Ruby structures.

Do the wxWidgets samples exhibit the same problems, or just wxRuby?

yep, wxwidgets too it turns out. the wxwindows default here (from 
native_font_info) seems to be MS Sans Serif, which looks terrible sized 
up to 10pt. There looks to be a way to retrieve a "GUI Default Font" 
which might be what I want, but it''s not yet ported. I''ve
hard-coded it
to match my settings for now, which looks great, temporary but works for m.

Anyway, thanks for the help. Like the XML example in the Dialogs 
Tutorial, am sold on the idea.
