wxruby users - Apr 2006 - Bigdemo Menu Demo

Does anyone know how the wxMenu.rbw files was going to be competed?  I 
believe we have the code now to finish it off but I don''t want to guess
what the demo writer had in mind (though I think it''s obvious).  
Specifically, it''s the code that adds and removes menu items.

I''ve made some progress on other fronts:

o Test case for object tracking
o Object tracking enabled
o Fix to the Bigdemo Combo Box demo (fixed append to work (hopefully))
o Other minor changes

Some other problems I''m looking at:

o The gauge example crashes after running for some time
o The MDI sample doesn''t work at all anymore
o GetTextExtent problem (double click on grid cell with text in it)
o Why don''t drop down lists open up?
o The get_view_start problem (any bigdemo that uses the scrolled window)

For those interested I have made a Visual C++ 6.0 workspace/project file 
for wxRuby2.  Whether this was necessary or not I don''t know but it 
allowed me to get debugging working so that I can step through the 
code.  This has sped up the debugging of problems immensely.

At this point, I think it''s fine to guess. Or, better yet, just decide
what we (you) want it to do, and make it so.

Cool.

My problem at the moment is one I''ve seen before, but I can''t
remember
how I solved it back then. The splitter in the right panel is stuck at
the top, and resists being dragged down so all I can see is the debug
pane.

Also cool. I would gladly check that in if it''s general enough that
other folks could use it.

If I get a chance I''ll take a whack at it.

Odd.  Don''t see this on Windows, obviously.  Anyone see this
elsewhere?

Well...  I need to add the SWIG steps to it and update a few things.  
The only problem with the script is it''s not quite as nice as the 
rakefile.  If I can write up docs on debugging without the project 
workspace then we might not need it.
