[fxruby-users] FX GUI objects won't display

[Harold Worby]

I'm trying to replace the contents of a FXTreeList and can't get it to
display.
If I call fillList from the instillation method, the list is displayed
correctly, but calling it later will not display.

Also I've have a dialog displayed by Msg_Box(). On the first call, it
displays correctly but on subsequent calls it never displays.


To call fillList I use:
    filelistproc = proc { filelist }
    FXButton.new(mat, "File List", nil, nil, 0,
		FRAME_RAISED|FRAME_THICK|LAYOUT_FILL_X) do
|filelistbutton|
	      filelistbutton.connect(SEL_COMMAND,filelistproc)
    end

This will destroy the old list, but not display the new list. I can,
however, crawl the tree with:
    @group1.children.each {|c|
      print "Group1 Child ",c.to_s,"\n"
        c.show
        c.each {|d|
          print "  D ",d.class,"->",d.to_s,"\n"
          d.each {|e|
            print "   E ",e.class," ",e.to_s,"\n"
            #print "   E ",e.class,"\n"
          }
          #d.children.each{|dc|
          #  print "  D child ", dc.to_s,"\n"}
        }
    }
and see that the new tree exists and is populated.

Skipping the .removeChild leaves the old treelist displayed in 1/2 of
the
window, and add a new FXtreeList to the child list, but the second list
does
not display.

What do i need for do to get the tree list to display when it's
replaced?
