[fxruby-users] Custom SplashScreen. Seg fault when wrapped in a class

[Andreas S]

Hi,

I'm writing a custom SplashScreen because I can't convey loading status with FXSplashWindow. While FXSplashScreen does that, it has that OK button to close it. I want it to close by itself when my process is done.

The following code works fine, but when it is wrapped in a class, I get segmentation fault. Did I make a mistake in the start up sequence? But the fact that it doesn't seg-fault when it is outside of a class, makes it looks like a bug to me. 

Any idea how to work around it?

require 'fox16'
include Fox

class Splash < FXDialogBox
  def action
    Thread.new do
      yield
      handle nil, FXSEL(SEL_COMMAND,ID_ACCEPT), nil
    end
  end
end

#class App                           # uncomment this to see segmentation fault
#  def self.start                    
    app = FXApp.new('a', 'b')
    splash = Splash.new app, 'splash', :width => 300, :height => 200

    splash.action do
      sleep 1          # Simulating data loading
    end
    app.create
    splash.show PLACEMENT_SCREEN
    puts "RUN"
    app.runModalWhileShown splash
    puts "Begin real"
    win = FXMainWindow.new app, 'joe', :width => 500, :height => 400
    win.show PLACEMENT_SCREEN
    win.create
    puts "App run"
    app.run
#  end
#end

#App.start
