[fxruby-users] foxGUIb and the displaying of a dialogbox

[dave L]

Hi Meinrad,

Yes it's not shown here but i did try that too.

The errors where reduced to 1 or 2 lines.
I will when i get home tonight do this excercise again and post the error/s generated but still reflects 
the fact that i'm not doing something right because it points to the @topwin, :@topwin,mainWindow.topwin as being an undefined method.

I noticed in the example 7 code that the creation of the dialog object points to the class but when i tried that i again got errors so thought best to post what i did looking for someone to say ....

Oh ya yo've gotta do @dailogbox = Fox::fxdialog.new(....)

as said will post in another email further code and the errors i get and hopefully it'll be an light turning on for someone who can then show me my error.

cheers,

Dave.
