wxruby users - Oct 2009 - Creating corrent menuitems with xrcise

Hi List,

actually I''m trying to generate my UI with wxFormBuilder. But I  
haven''t managed to create correct plattform-independent Quit- and  
About-Menuitem with the correct IDs (Wx::ID_EXIT, Wx::ID_ABOUT).  Can  
anyone tell me how to do this?

Everything I tried so far leads to not working menu items or false  
menu items in i.e. Mac OS.

Regards,
Timo

I haven''t used wxFormBuilder. But looking at the screenshots, there is
a
box in a panel on the right-hand side called "Object Properties". At
the
top of the yellow tinted section in this list of properties, there is an 
entry called "id" which I guess has the default value
"wxID_ANY". To use
one of the standard ids, change this to wxID_EXIT, wxID_ABOUT.

Generally to map from C++ constant and class names to Ruby, replace the 
preceding wx (lower case) with Wx:: (module name).

C++ -> Ruby
wxWindow -> Wx::Window
wxID_EXIT -> Wx::ID_EXIT

Hey guys,

Sorry, been busy with RL.  Actually, you just need to define wxID_EXIT, and
wxID_ABOUT in the wxFormBuilder.  On the Ruby side, you need to use
Wx::ID_EXIT and Wx::ID_ABOUT to catch it.  This is cause of the naming
conventions, and how Ruby doesn''t allow constants to be formed with a
lowercase first letter.  EG: All constants, classes, and modules need to
start their first character as an Uppercase letter.  Ruby will throw a tissy
fit when you don''t do this.

Again, sorry for the late reply.
