[fxruby-users] fox/fxruby message and handler

[Andreas S]

I couldn't figure out why my message-handler does not work. My test code is at the end of this email.


Case 1:
  The 'data' argument to the message handler comes out as an integer instead of my ruby string "joke". Can't I pass any ruby object? I've seen fxruby doc appendix C, where it is recommended to query the sender instead of interpreting the data. Is this the answer, don't pass data when sending message?

Case 2:
  This connect target is never executed. What did I do wrong?

I'm certain I must have misunderstood something here. I'd be happy if you can explain or point me to a doc or faq.

Many thanks in advance

# Case 2:

    end

  end

  def funny sender, selector, data
     puts "Data is #{data}"
  end
end


app = FXApp.new "a", "b"
win = FXMainWindow.new app, "c", :width => 40, :height => 300
frame = FXVerticalFrame.new win
label = Label.new frame, "Label"
button = FXButton.new frame, "Button"
button.connect SEL_COMMAND do
  label.handle b1, FXSEL(SEL_COMMAND, Label::ID_FUNNY, "joke")
app.create
app.run
