[Ironruby-core] silverlight.rb

[Randall Sutton]

I ended up just taking the idea and making my own version.

  class Wpf
      def self.create(t,args={},&b)
          # create an instance of the class
          obj = t.new
  
          # assign all the args
          args.each_pair do |k,v|
              obj.send("#{k.to_s}=",v)
          end
 
          # define the add method if it doesn't have one
          if !(obj.respond_to? :add) && (obj.respond_to? :children)
              obj.instance_eval('def add(t,args={},&b); obj = Wpf.create(t,args,&b); self.children.add(obj); obj; end;')
          end
  
          # call the create method if there is one
          if obj.respond_to? :create
              obj.create
          end
  
          # execute the block against the instance
          obj.instance_eval(&b)
          obj
      end     
  end     

Not as complex as the other, so I might be missing something.  So far this has worked great and I added ability to have a create method so if you are constructing a class that inherits from a control you could do some initialization before the block is executed.

Thanks,
Randall

It could possibly be added for the final release, or put in an external helper file. Let me know if it works for you currently.
