Subject: [fxruby-users] foxGUI - textfieldTextStyle
Message-ID: <646618.44060.qm@web30008.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

I have just come across the Textfield_Limited option.

I would like to get an understanding on how and why it is used.
Could anyone give me a scenario of it's use?

I am thinking of using it like this.

I have a login screen and it contains a label, textfield and button.

the textfield has the password option checked so asterisks appear and would like to use the Textfield_Limited as a check to ensure the user enters X characters in for a password thus saving me from doing the test myself.

Is this what it's use is for?

I have another textfield where i am wanting to restrict the characters to 10 no more no less
before allowing the user to proceed on (currently this is done via a length test) when the user presses enter on the keyboard (note there are no buttons! on this particular window).

Cheers,

Dave.

I don't understand what the fact that SQL table entries aren't
necessarily unique has to do with it. When a table cell is edited, the
table sends a SEL_REPLACED message to its target, and the message data
is an FXTableRange instance indicating which cell(s) were modified. So
you should be able to do something like this to determine which row
and column was edited:

    table.connect(SEL_REPLACED) do |sender, sel, table_range|
      puts "finished editing the cell at row=#{fm.row}, col=#{fm.col}"
    end

Hope this helps,

Lyle

Lyle,
Thanks for the reply.
It's about keeping the SQL table and the FX table in sync.
My sql table is sorted by last name and the table ids don't match up
with the row numbers in the fx_table. I've created a column which is 0
wide that contains the sql_id so that when I identify the item that's
been modified (using the row and column information from SEL_REPLACED,
as you suggest), I know which SQL table row to update.
I then pull back the data from the SQL table so that the edited name
is in the correct position and re-draw the table.
The edited name is then highlighted using makPositionVisible and
setCurrentItem.

I saw FXDataTarget and was hoping that the rather clunky code I've got
could be made a lot neater by using it, rather like cocoa bindings I
suppose. I see that FXDataTarget can't be used with an Array so guess
I'm stuck with my sledgehammer approach.

Phillipe,
Many thanks for the suggestion. The idea of adding a 'cancel all
changes option' is an interesting one and the commit at the end of all
of all the changes would certainly make coding easier and neater and
response times shorter as the tables grow.

<snip>

Oh, OK. Yes, you'll need to do something to keep track of which table  
row is associated with which database record. Instead of storing the  
sql_id in an invisible column, you could maybe store the sql_id in the  
table item's "data" field, e.g.

	table.setItemData(r, c, author.sql_id)

and then later:

	sql_id = table.getItemData(table_range.fm.row, table_range.fm.col)

Hope this helps,

Lyle

Subject: [fxruby-users] putting in a tabbed spacing into a list
Message-ID: <418381.93967.qm@web30005.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

I am using foxGUI to help me speed up the GUI design.

I have got 8 items I'd like to have entered in each row but have them put in columns.

I don't know how (due to limited ruby knowledge) to mix FXruby and foxGUI controls (or if this can be done).

FoxGUI doesn't have a table control and i do not know if list has a column property for this use.

i want to have text put in row and column formation (making it easier to read and find data) than having the text at variable positions due to the length of the text on the row.

if all else fails i will create enough list controls and place them across the screen so that i can get the same effect but this seems a bit much.

Can wiser heads help me with my problem?

I do hope i have explained myself well.

dave.

Message-ID: <55879.6461.qm@web30001.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hi I have a string inside a FXList that is seperated into columns by spaces.

I will have a need to put this data into editable controls when ever the user clicks on a line.
I thought of using the ruby split(' ') command.

The way i was going to do this was to have it setup like this...

control.text, control.text... = ALine.split(' ')

but i got a error referring to split as being private!
Is there a better way of doing this?

I have googled but for the present i have not found anything meaningful.

anyone able to help?

dave.

not exactly sure why i'm not getting it currently!

I'm doing this at the moment.

mydate = Date
mytime = Time

these failed so added a .now and it still failed!!!

looked at the fxruby Rdoc site and found no luck their as yet (and googled)!

	FXLabel.new(frame, "APPL Date",:opts => JUSTIFY_LEFT|LAYOUT_FILL_X)

	FXTextField.new(frame, 10, at appldate, FXDataTarget::ID_VALUE) do |theTextField|

	theTextField.text=@appldate.value
end

Nataraj S Narayan & David MacMahon,
Thanks for your quick reply.

David,
Yes Aline is a string as it is actually obtained from fxlist and has data like Job No, Date, Time (PC system obtained) plus other entries but i am wanting to ADD to the list.

Nataraj,

Didn't think of doing this!
as i'd just thought these would be in as a system function of FXruby.
Lession learnt :)
many thanks to you both.

Have you got

require 'date'

in your header section?

I have this in one of my non FX scripts:

Today = (DateTime.now).to_s.slice( 0, 10 ).tr( '-', ' ' )

to get the year, month and day.

Len,

Many thanks,

two two others sent me similar pointers and i had taken it for granted that FXruby might have had it's own datetime handling routines - Doh light has since switched on

I'm not 100% sure, but you should be able to just do:

require 'time'

my_date = Date.now
my_time = Time.now

Have you got

require 'date'

in your header section?

I have this in one of my non FX scripts:

Today = (DateTime.now).to_s.slice( 0, 10 ).tr( '-', ' ' )

to get the year, month and day.

Yes I have since found out from my 1st posting for help that I had to require date in and so time too.

Have a need also to split text from a FXList into other controls (allow data to be changed) and bashed my head as i thought i'd have to invent the wheel again not thinking about just requiring string to do the heavy lifting for me).

So i have now been able to kill more birds with the one call for help.

By the way have you played with foxGUI?

I'm very much a noob with both ruby, FXruby and foxGUI.

but making head way in 2 steps forward 1 back.

many thanks for your relpy.

Dave.

PS sending this to you personnally as posting to list won't enlighten other anymore than what has been posted on my date/time question and reply to date, BUT I am interested in hearing back from you on the foxGUI as i'd like to get someone with more experiance to help me with some problems i have with it.

Sorry Dave, I don't have any experience with foxGUI.  I have actually 
stopped using FOX altogether and gone back to using Tk.  18 years 
experience with Tcl/Tk so it was natural to adopt RubyTk.  fxruby fits 
in better with the object hierarchy of Ruby but Tk has functionality 
which hardly exists in other graphic toolkits and which I need every 
day, like an intuitive listbox and the peerless TkCanvas.

Good luck with the learning curve.  I have been programming for 46 years 
but am still on the learning curve.  Like you it is still 2 steps 
forward and 1 back, or even +3 -2.

Maybe it's stupid, but did you try to just make *sure* it's string by
calling its to_s method?

Hi!

I am new to FXRuby so excuse me for this stupid question. I need to
enter many different data and trying to create a vertical pane
dynamically using response from a SQL query.

I want these input form to appear in my main window. Created a class
based on FXMainWindow.

--------------- Code snippet ------------
class DbFace < FXMainWindow
    attr_writer \
    :title,

  def addNew
    vPane = FXVerticalFrame.new(@hWnd)
    dTitle = FXLabel.new(vPane, at title,nil,LAYOUT_FILL_ROW)
  end

  def initialize(app, pane)
    @hWnd = pane
    @hApp  = app
  end
end
----------- End -----------------

I use this class from inside my program. As:

 	book = DbFace.new(app, @frame)
	book.title = "Add new record"
	book.addNew


The new dialog fields do not show up with this. Please tell me if I am
doing something wrong. Any example will be great.

Message-ID: <20090829171816.cd727699.wbparsons@cshore.com>

I'm sure this must be simple but I can't seem to figure out how to fill the
main window with widgets.  The following bare-bones test app illustrates my
problem:
----------------------
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'fox16'
include Fox

class TopLevelWindow < FXMainWindow
   def initialize(app)
      super(app, 'Test Application', :width => 200, :height => 300)
      FXPacker.new(self, FRAME_SUNKEN, :opts => LAYOUT_FILL)
   end
   def create
      super
      show(PLACEMENT_SCREEN)
   end
end

FXApp.new do |app|
   TopLevelWindow.new(app)
   app.create
   app.run
end
----------------------
Why doesn't the FXPacker fill the top-level window?

But it is visible - since I passed a FRAME_SUNKEN attribute to the FXPacker
you can see a small sunken square in the upper left-hand corner.  Of course,
in the real application I'm trying to build, the problem is that the widgets
that get packed don't fill the entire top-level window as I would like.

For some reason you've split out the construction options over two
separate arguments. Trying changing this line:

    FXPacker.new(self, FRAME_SUNKEN, :opts => LAYOUT_FILL)

to this:

    FXPacker.new(self, :opts => FRAME_SUNKEN | LAYOUT_FILL)

Hope this helps,

Lyle

I think you're just leaving out a call to create() for the
newly-constructed widgets. What happens if you add a call to
vPane.create() at the end of your addNew() method?

    def addNew
      vPane = FXVerticalFrame.new(@hWnd)
      dTitle = FXLabel.new(vPane, at title,nil,LAYOUT_FILL_ROW)
      vPane.create
    end

Let me know if that does the trick. For more background on this, see:

    http://www.fox-toolkit.org/faq.html#CREATELATER

Or, even better, buy the FXRuby book and read Chapter 7. ;)

Hope this helps,

Lyle

Thanks! - that seems to have been the problem with my test app.
(I'm still having issues with getting an FXTable to fill its alotted 
space, but I'll poke around with the options a bit more before
bothering the list.)
