wxruby users - Jan 2009 - Errors with TextCtrl.new!

Here is my code:

require ''rubygems''
require ''wx''
include Wx

class GuiMudClientApp < App
  def on_init
    frame = Frame.new(nil, -1, "GMC: Incoming").show
    test = TextCtrl.new(frame, -1, "-----Mud stuff here-----",
Point.new(500, 500), Size.new(500, 500), TE_READONLY)
    test.append_text "Pfft!"
  end
end

nowai = GuiMudClientApp.new

nowai.main_loop

I get this error:

guimc.rb:8:in `new'': Error initializing #<Wx::TextCtrl:0x74e3c0>
(TypeError)
 : Expected argument 1 of type wxWindow *, but got TrueClass true
  in SWIG method ''wxTextCtrl''
Correct parameters for Wxruby2::TextCtrl.new are:
:id => (Fixnum)
:value => (String)
:pos => (Wxruby2::Point)
:size => (Wxruby2::Size)
:style => (Fixnum)
:validator => (Wxruby2::Validator)
:name => (String)
  from guimc.rb:8:in `on_init''
  from guimc.rb:15:in `main_loop''
  from guimc.rb:15
Before, I could use a ''Frame'' class as the parent window, but
now its
having issues. I''ve followed it right off of the API docs. Any idea
whats wrong/how to fix it?

Thanks in advance,

You''re assigning the return value of show() to the variable frame.
show() returns a boolean true/false.

Now you''re passing that variable containing ''true'' as
the first arg to
TextCtrl.new

frame = Wx::Frame.new(...)
frame.show
text = Wx::TextCtrl.new(frame, ...)
