wxruby users - Nov 2005 - No matching function for overloaded ''wxWindow_GetTextExtent'' on Linux

Hi guys,

I get this error when I try to edit an item in the grid:

dewd@marieta:/mnt/workspace/tpl_src/src/wxruby2/samples/etc$ ruby
system_settings.rb
Our Initialize was called
Their Initialize returned 1
system_settings.rb:245:in `get_text_extent'': No matching function for
overloaded ''wxWindow_GetTextExtent'' (ArgumentError)
        from system_settings.rb:245

I have been getting this consistently on Ubuntu Breezy, wxRuby2 from CVS and
Darcs (I tested both just in case :-).

wxWidgets is 2.6.2.
GTK+ 2.8.6.

Any idea?

Thanks.

Cheers,
Joao

Hi Joao

This is a known issue - there''s currently a problem with the SWIG 
mapping of some Wx methods that should return multiple values to ruby 
(as Wx::Window#get_text_extent)

Unfortunately Wx::Grid calls this method by default when you start 
editing a grid cell item (all platforms). So Wx::Grid crashes for now in 
CVS HEAD - but it''s something that should be fixed before too long.

cheers
