wxruby users - Sep 2006 - wxSugar 0.1.1, in subversion

Hi

WxSugar 0.1.1 is now available for download from:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=35

And in subversion

svn co svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/wxruby/trunk/wxsugar

This version speeds up accessors.rb (thanks to Sean''s suggestion), and 
fixes a few bugs.

I tried it and have the following notes:

I initially downloaded it as a gem and played with it for awhile and
got some stuff working. I noticed a few things that need changing so I
checked out from SVN and noticed that there really is a sample! It is
just not included in the gem, I think the gem should include the
sample. I learned a lot more about how the library is written by
digging through it but the sample sure would have been nice at the
start.

I really like the EasyMenus and the event listen method looks pretty slick.

I was having some trouble understanding the more advanced layout tools
just from reading the docs but I have not dug into the sample yet to
see if it clears up anything.

I also have 2 small patches:
- The first one changes the sample in layout.rb to use CheckBox
instead of Checkbox so the sample will run if copy and pasted.
- The second clears up the docs for the event listen method that if
the source is set to nil all controls of that type will trigger an
event, the default value does not trigger all as the docs made it
sound.

Anyway good work Alex I like the direction you are going with this library.

Oops, now added it to the gem specification.

Hopefully it will, but I will look to review the docs for it. It is the 
feature that departs from wxWidgets API the most, but also one I find 
useful in reducing tedium and common errors. Working with nested sizers 
in the default API is flexible but a git to write and refactor because 
you have to remember which one is within which. It seemed a nice fit 
with Ruby''s use of block syntax for scoping
effects.
