wxruby users - Sep 2007 - wxRuby 1.9.1 and id accessor consistency problem

Hi all,

wxRuby 1.9.1 introduced great Rubish style accessors (x.label as a synonym
for x.get_label).
I just found that get_id has no corresponding Rubish style id accessor.

For a CheckListBox or a StaticText (I haven''t checked for other kind of
controls), id just returns the Ruby object_id.
This is very confusing and not consistent with other accessors.

It''s because Ruby defines the deprecated method Object#id that we
didn''t
make it a nice accessor for wxRuby. But instead of Wx::Window#get_id you 
can use the method wx_id.

Probably need to update the documentation on this point; sorry for the 
confusion.

wx_id is almost as long typing as get_id :-)

I thought that Object#id has been made obsolete in favor of Object#object_id
because id is generally used by as an "application id".
This is exactly the case for wxRuby, id means wxRuby id not the object_id.
Consequently, I don''t think there is a problem to define an id accessor
may
be at Wx::Window level.

In any case, this would be a good idea.
