Hello,
I need to finish a small GUI program till friday and I am somewhat
stuck. First of all, wxRuby seems to ignore the size request of the
frame as defined via XRC (or I''m completly doing the wrong thing!)
Second, it complains about the statusbar and doesn''t display it. What
am
I doing wrong?
The files are attached
Thank you
Ulrich Spoerlein

Not sure about the size issue (I''m not sitting at a computer with wxRuby at the moment to try it out) but I believe the status bar problem is due to wxRuby currently using wxWidgets 2.4.2. XRC support for wxStatusBar wasn''t added until 2.5.1, according to the wxWidgets change log. I worked around this by just putting a label at the bottom of the frame and placing a horizontal line over it with no left/right borders; another solution would be to add the status bar in code after the frame is loaded from the XRC file.

OK, regarding the size of the frame: it looks like specifying a sizer for a frame in XRC causes the frame to fit the sizer automatically. If you want a minimum size for the frame, you can set the minsize attribute on the frame''s sizer. If you''re just looking to set a default size for a user-resizable frame, you might want to provide a default in code after the frame loads from the XRC file. Ideally you''d load a user preference for the frame size, with the default size used if no preference is found, but it sounds like this isn''t a big enough project to be worth the effort. :-) Hope this helps, Marshall On Nov 13, 2004, at 12:12 PM, Ulrich Spoerlein wrote:> Hello, > > I need to finish a small GUI program till friday and I am somewhat > stuck.
