Message-ID: <97a92e950711020053w2d76539bt5c97c8296baafef@mail.gmail.com>

Hi
I'm trying to follow the tutorial on xrcise at
http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?UsingXRCise

But I keep getting the following error when I try to run the example;
tutorial.rb:21:in `initialize': undefined method 'upper_bt' for
#<CaseChangeFrame:0x2d610f8> (NoMethodError)
        from tutorial.rb:28:in `new'
        from tutorial.rb:28:in `on_init'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby-1.9.2-i386-mswin32/lib/wx/classes/app.rb:16:in
`main_loop'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby-1.9.2-i386-mswin32/lib/wx/classes/app.rb:16:in
`run'
        from tutorial.rb:27

The relevant ruby code looks like.

 # Inherit from the generated base class and set up event handlers
 class CaseChangeFrame < TextFrameBase
   def initialize
     super
     evt_button(upper_bt) { text_box.upcase! }
     evt_button(lower_bt) { text_box.downcase! }
   end
 end

I have triple checked that I have given the button widget an Id name of
upper_bt in DialogBlocks

Has anyone come across this before?

Thanks
Tim

Thanks for the report. Hard to say what's going on here - could you post 
the my_frame.xrc that you're running XRCise against, and also the 
my_frame.rb that's been generated?

To my eyes, this looks like a simple syntax slip.  The argument to
evt_button is being interpreted as a method call, not a symbol as intended.
Note the colons:

evt_button(:upper_bt) { text_box.upcase! }
evt_button(:lower_bt) { text_box.downcase! }

The first argument to evt_button, as to the other event handlers that 
capture commands from Controls, is a Window or a Window id that is the 
source of the vents

So these should be methods which return a Wx::Button

Hi Alex

Thanks for taking a look, Here are the files, I also tried the syntax
changes mentioned by Ash but this didn't work either,
resulted in this error.
Must specify Wx::Window event source or its Wx id, not ':upper_bt'
(ArgumentError)
I'm fairly new to ruby syntax so it wouldn't be beyond me to have such a
problem but seems its something else

Wow, must be one of the first fast ones I've actually debugged here.  
I've done my own debugging, and it looks like, your trying to setup the 
ID for your objects, and they haven't even been defined yet.  And for 
you Alex, in order to access "finder"  You should proabbly store that as 
a Method Call, or store it as a Class Variable, so that it can be 
accessed, in this sistuation.

Anyways, the core problem, is first, for the method at which your 
generating the code, and adding to it, you need to change the "finder" 
variable in my_frame.rb  in TestFrameBase#initialize() to a class 
variable, so it can be accessed by sub-classed versions of the 
TestFrameBase.  You can do this easily by just adding an '@' symbol to 
it.  Nothing to it really.

Next, in your sub-classed version in tutorial.rb, I made a few changes.  
Basically, I added the three calls to 
@finder.call("id_we_are_looking_for") for upper_bt, lower_bt, and 
text_box, then changed the upcase and downcase to the following: 
text_box.value = text_box.value.upcase/downcase As you can modify the 
string with upcase!/downcase!, but it doesn't modify it in the wxRuby 
Buffer, so you need to re-assign it to the buffer, so that it will 
convert over properly for you, and display the changes.  The New code 
goes as follows:

======================my_frame.rb=======================

# This class was automatically generated from XRC source. It is not
# recommended that this file is edited directly; instead, inherit from
# this class and extend its behaviour there. 
#
# Source file: tutorial.xrc
# Generated at: Sat Nov 03 13:22:37 +1300 2007

class TextFrameBase < Wx::Frame
 
  def initialize(parent = nil)
    super()
    xml = Wx::XmlResource.get
    xml.flags = 2 # Wx::XRC_NO_SUBCLASSING
    xml.init_all_handlers
    xml.load("tutorial.xrc")
    xml.load_frame_subclass(self, parent, "ID_WXFRAME")

    @finder = lambda do | x |
      int_id = Wx::xrcid(x)
      begin
        Wx::Window.find_window_by_id(int_id, self) || int_id
      # Temporary hack to work around regression in 1.9.2; remove
      # begin/rescue clause in later versions
      rescue RuntimeError
        int_id
      end
    end

  end
end

=====================tutorial.rb===========================
require 'wx'
 # load in the generated code
 require 'my_frame'

 # Mix-in for a Wx::TextCtrl
 module CaseChangeTextCtrl
   # convert all the text in the control to upper case
   def upcase!
     self.value = self.value.upcase
   end
   # convert all the text in the control to lower case
   def downcase!
     self.value = self.value.downcase
   end
 end
 
  # Inherit from the generated base class and set up event handlers
 class CaseChangeFrame < TextFrameBase
   def initialize
     super
     upper_bt = @finder.call("upper_bt")
     lower_bt = @finder.call("lower_bt")
     text_box = @finder.call("text_box")
     evt_button(upper_bt) { text_box.value = text_box.value.upcase }
     evt_button(lower_bt) { text_box.value = text_box.value.downcase }
   end
 end
 
  # Run the class
 Wx::App.run do
   CaseChangeFrame.new.show
 end


============================================================

Enjoy the new code, and Alex, you should look into this, incase someone 
decides they want to do something similar to this.  This would exactly 
be the way that I would want to do it.

L8ers,

Mario Steele

Hi Mario

Wow thanks for that sure enough it works!

Do you think the tutorial at
http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?UsingXRCise should be updated, I'm
surprised this hasn't been an issue for someone else?

Also I was thinking in php (i work with php for a living) there are
special get and set methods you can define which are only triggered when
your object or inherited object doesn't contain the member or method you're
trying to access. (http://nz.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php
)

so in this example in php I would write something like.

function __get($name){
   if($element = $this->finder($name))
            return $element;
   trigger_error("undefined property $name");
}

Maybe such a function would be useful in the base class in the tutorial
example to look up the form elements thus preventing the need for the
"upper_bt = @finder.call("upper_bt")" lines.

Anyway I had a good look at the ruby manual I have and couldn't find a way
to do this, I'm sure there is? or perhaps you guys can think of a more
elegant solution?

Thanks again for helping me though that issue guys!

Tim

As Mario says, it's the missing finder calls that are the problem, but 
these should be in the autogenerated base class, not the user class 
you're writing. Finder is meant to be a private implementation detail.

There is something strange going on because when I run xrcise over the 
xrc file you sent, it does generate the missing lines in my_frame.rb

  attr_reader :text_box, :upper_bt, :lower_bt

...

    @text_box = finder.call("text_box")
    @text_box.extend(CaseChangeTextCtrl)
    @upper_bt = finder.call("upper_bt")
    @lower_bt = finder.call("lower_bt")

Please could you double-check you're running xrcise over the latest 
saved version of your xrc file, as you posted it here.

If those lines are still not showing up, could you say what ruby version 
and platform you're on.

thanks
alex

Object#method_missing is what you're looking for.

class Foo
  def method_missing(meth, *args)
    puts "Called non-existing method '#{meth}' with arguments 
'#{args.join(',')}'"
  end
end

It's best used with discretion, because it breaks reflection on an 
object's supported methods eg,

Foo.new.respond_to?(:blah)
=> false

Even if 'blah' would be a valid method call.

Subject: [wxruby-users] Can't run samples - Mac OS 10.3 w/ RubyGems
Message-ID: <b838b712b37f1095464505d365eaa099@ruby-forum.com>

Hello -
     I'm interested in leveraging wxRuby on my PowerPC-based iBook.
I've got Mac OS 10.3.9 and I installed wxRuby 1.9.2 using gems.
However, when I try to run samples such as minimal.rb, I get the
following error:

dyld: ruby Undefined symbols:
_DataBrowserChangeAttributes
_PMGetDuplex
_PMSetDuplex
_TXNGetCommandEventSupport
_TXNSetCommandEventSupport
_TXNSetSpellCheckAsYouType
Trace/BPT trap

     It seems to be some fundamental issue with the install as I get the
same error no matter what sample I run.  It's my understanding that I
don't need to install any other libraries, but if I've overlooked
something please let me know.  Thanks!


Sebastian.

I haven't seen this error but I wonder whether it's because recent PPC 
versions of wxRuby have been built using 10.4. I think, for example, 
that spell-check-as-you-type was a feature difference between 10.3 and 
10.4, and wxWidgets conditionally compiles support for this in.

The last binary that was built using 10.3 was preview-0.0.40. Perhaps 
you could try downloading it from:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/25570/wxruby2-preview-0.0.40-powerpc-darwin7.9.0.gem.old

Save the file, rename it to take the ".old" suffix off it, then run "gem 
install wxruby2-preview" in that directory, and also uninstall the 1.9.2 
gem.

If you can run the samples with that, then it is down to the OS version.

Unfortunately, in that case, you'll have to compile your own version of 
1.9.2, as, since my Powerbook got nicked, no-one in the dev team has a 
10.3 machine. Fortunately, installing from source is pretty routien on 
OS X - see the wiki:

I couldn't reproduce the bug with XP/1.8.4, but I tried installing the 
latest 1.8.6 and now can.

It's due to some incompatible change in REXML shipped with ruby 1.8.4 
(version 3.1.3) and 1.8.6 (version 3.1.6), somewhere in it's XPath 
parsing, but exactly what's needed is eluding me right now.

Anyway, thanks again for the report. We should be able to pin down 
what's up and put out a version of wxSugar inc XRCise that works on 
1.8.6 in the next week or so.

Thanks Alex -
     I did try to build WxWidgets and during configuration it complained 
about not finding a recent enough version of GTK.  If you know a quick 
fix for that issue (command line switch for configure?) that would be 
great, but I think it's simply time I shell out for a new OS version. 
:)  Thanks for your help!


Sebastian.

It shouldn't be looking for gtk on OS X, that's for Linux. Is there 
--with-gtk in your configure flags? Check you're using the right 
./configure switches from

Hello Bela,

I've confirmed that this is a problem, as I've ran the same thing, only 
difference is that I'm running v0.9.4 of RubyGems, and I'm running Ruby 
v1.8.6 (2007-09-23 patchlevel 110) [i386-mingw32]  as I do custom 
compiling, and don't use Visual C to compile.  Alex, did you update 
RubyGems repository?

L8ers,

Mario Steele

Out of interest, Mario, did you have to do anything special to compile 
with mingw on Windows? When I last tried I didn't get this to work.

> Alex, did you update RubyGems repository?

No, nothing's changed in the wxRuby project. I'm guessing it's an error 
with the rubyforge gem indexer. If it's not resolved itself I'll follow up.

Bela - thanks for the report

I use both MinGW and MSYS to get the bash like interface.  The only 
thing I did, was go into the source directory, and did up ./configure.  
It detected everything just fine.  Though, if you try to use the make 
that comes with MinGW, there may be problems, so you may want to try 
using MSYS.  If you still have problems compiling it, let me know, and 
I'll do a clean compile, and see what I did to get it to work.

Subject: [wxruby-users] 3 wxSugar questions
Message-ID: <47317105.60800@mailbox.swipnet.se>

A bit new to wxRuby and have 2 questions regarding wxSugar:
1. I only find one sample application for wxSugar, but as I understand 
from the docs, wsSugar is the preferred approach. Are there any more 
wxSugar samples available somewhere?

2. When I run sugar-sample.rb, I get a couple of warnings: "listen is 
deprecated, use evt_xxx directly". Just wanted to check: Is this sample 
outdated or is there some version mismatch?

3. Again when using sugar-sample.rb, the bottom part of the list box is 
covered by the panel with the buttons/dropdown/edit controls. I have to 
stretch the window quite much to get all the list box visible (on 
Windows XP). Is this the intended behavior? If I want to get the list 
box automatically resized according to its panel, how do I do that?

wxSugar is in a slightly limbo position at the moment. A few months ago 
we held a survey and there was a decisive vote in favour of adding most 
of the nice 'sugar' features into core wxRuby. So wxSugar has a few odds 
and ends that might be useful, but the most-wanted features are now part 
of wxRuby.

Some of the wxRuby samples are updated to a 'sugar' style - eg 
minimal.rb, event.rb, nothing.rb.

I should update the wiki to reflect this - sorry for the confusion.

wxRuby 1.9.2 added nicer event handling syntax to the core library, so 
"listen" in wxSugar isn't really relevant, but is kept for backwards 
compatibility. Have a look at the "event handling tutorial" in the 
current wxRuby docs for information on the options for setting up event 
handlers.

I'll check this out. "Sizers" are the general way to fit subwindows 
within a larger window. It may be that a call to "sizer.layout" is 
needed in the frame's initializer - this tells the sizer to recalculate 
the size of all the child windows.

The documentation for Wx::FileDialog is incorrectly generated:
http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/doc/filedialog.html
Every time the '*' (for the wildcard character in file filters) appears, 
the doc instead switches between boldface and normal.

Also, it seems like the links under "See also" are broken.


Feature request:
Regarding all modal common dialogs (ColourDialog, DirDialog, 
FileDialog), it looks like it's currently not possible to set the style 
element outside new(). For the modal ones, it would make lots of sense 
to be able to set the style separately prior to show_modal:
d.style = Wx::WHAT_EVER_STYLE

Thanks for the report; we'll tidy it up for the next release.

For all Windows, which includes Dialogs, the style normally has to be 
set in the initializer - this is a WxWidgets restriction we can't really 
work around. There is a method

d.window_style = Wx::WHAT_EVER
http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/doc/window.html#Window_setwindowstyle

- but the catch is that some styles cannot be altered after initialization.

If you're looking for a more self-documenting style of code, you could 
use keyword arguments to the constructor:

dlg = Wx::FileDialog.new(parent, :style => Wx::WHAT_EVER)

Subject: [wxruby-users] Why don't my tabs look as nice as theirs?
Message-ID: <16805.64.142.64.96.1194558785.squirrel@webmail.sonic.net>

Hello again,

I'm running my WxRuby scripts on Windows XP. I am new
at GUI coding.

Here's what I don't understand: why my WxRuby notebook
tabs don't look like notebook tabs in other apps running
on the same machine.

I've attached two little examples. The first (mine.gif)
shows what I get with WxRuby. The second (theirs.gif) is
from a typical app running on the same Windows XP machine.

Is there a way to make my tabs look like theirs? I feel
like I'm missing something very simple.

Here's my test script:
------------------------------------------------------------
require "wx"
include Wx

class MyNotebook < Notebook

    def initialize( parent )
	super(parent, -1)

	%w[ Apples Oranges Bananas ].each{ |d|
	    win = Panel.new( self, -1 )
	    add_page( win, d, false )
	}
    end
end

class MyApp < App

    def on_init
	frame = Frame.new(nil, -1, "Test")
	MyNotebook.new( frame )
	frame.show()
    end

end

MyApp.new.main_loop
------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for your help!

Hi

We've just released an updated version of wxSugar, version 0.1.19.

http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=35

The only change in this version is that it contains a workaround for a 
?bug introduced in REXML packaged with ruby 1.8.6, that meant that the 
XRCise tool[1] would not work properly.

Thank you Alex for the answer to my previous question --
it was exactly what I was looking for!

Moving on, I have some bugs to report:

I'm using the Wx::Notebook class and it looks to me
like Wx::NB_LEFT, Wx::NB_RIGHT, and Wx::NB_BOTTOM are
defined incorrectly. To get my tabs to appear on the
bottom, for example, I find I have to use Wx::NB_LEFT.
Same symptom in samples/bigdemo/WxNotebook.rbw -- the
constructor uses Wx::NB_BOTTOM but the tabs appear on
the right. Off by 1?

I'm also having trouble with images in tabs -- they
seem to randomly disappear on resizing. Has anyone
else seen this? It's not hard to repro, but it's not
happening all the time, either.

And, now that I am educated about Windows XP style
controls and manifest files, I'm noticing that
Wx::Notebook tabs seem to ignore them if they're
placed anywhere but at the top. In other words, I
get the version 6 style if the tabs are at the top,
and the version 5 style if they're anywhere else.

Kind regards,
Peralta

Thanks very much for the report. It seems the values of the constants 
changed in wxWidgets between version 2.6 and 2.8, so when we upgraded to 
target 2.8 the wxRuby values went out by one. I'll fix for the next 
release, but for reference, the correct values are:

NB_DEFAULT = 0
NB_TOP = 1
NB_BOTTOM = 2
NB_LEFT = 4
NB_RIGHT = 8

I haven't seen this. Can you reproduce in one of the samples?

Note that current Windows UI guidelines discourage the use of icons in tabs:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511493.aspx

I get the same result. I can't think that I've ever seen the XP-style 
"glow"/rounded tabs other than on the top in an application, and my 
guess is that those tabs are only available on the top in the Windows XP 
UI. Note that side/bottom tabs won't work anyway on OS X.

You might have a look into Wx::AuiNotebook (see the aui.rb sample) as an 
alternative. wxWidgets 2.8 added some other "book" controls (TreeBook, 
ToolBook) but they aren't yet available in wxRuby.

None of the samples use images in tabs, as far as I can see,
but I have a small test program that exhibits the problem.
I honestly can't figure out what sequence of resize operations
triggers the bug, but all I have to do is resize the window
repeatedly, including maximizing and restoring it, and eventually
the tab images go away.

My environment, FWIW:
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i386-mswin32]
wxruby-1.9.0-i386-mswin32
Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600

Here's my test program:
--------------------------------------------------------------
require "wx"
include Wx

class MyNotebook < Notebook

    def initialize( parent )
	super(parent, -1, Wx::DEFAULT_POSITION, Wx::DEFAULT_SIZE )

	il = Wx::ImageList.new(26,18)
	my_img = il.add( Wx::Bitmap.new( Image.new( "test.png", BITMAP_TYPE_PNG)) )
	set_image_list( il )

	%w[ Apples Oranges Bananas ].each{ |d|
	    win = Panel.new( self, -1 )
	    add_page( win, d, false, my_img )
	}
    end
end

class MyApp < App

    def on_init
	frame = Frame.new(nil, -1, "Title")

	MyNotebook.new( frame )
	frame.show()
    end

end

MyApp.new.main_loop

Hello there Peralta,

The thing about the Notebook Tabs on Left, Right and bottom with the 
version 6 style, Windows naturally does not have this functionality by 
default.  If you go to Windows API, and look at the TabControl, you will 
find nothing on how to draw the Notebook Tabs on Left, Right or Bottom.  
What wxWidgets does is draws the default Tab style, for when it's done 
on the left, right or bottom of the Notebook control.  Other GUI 
Toolkits do the same thing.  So unfortunatly, there no way to get 
natural Windows XP Styles, with the Tabs being in a different area.

L8ers,

Mario Steele

I'm doing a graphics application and need onscreen anti-aliasing for

planned to be ported to wxRuby?

Hm, I re-downloaded the source today, and this time the configure (taken 
both times from the helpful link you mentioned) worked!  So I'm happily 
compiling at the moment...Thanks for your help.

Salut Sebastien,

Il semble que RubyGems est d'avoir avec les erreurs d'indexation et le 
t?l?chargement de wxRuby. Elle sera mieux pour vous de t?l?charger 
wxRuby - 1.9.2 de Rubyforge page, et l'installer si gemme. Ceci devrait 
vous permettre d'installer wxRuby 1.9.2.

Laters,
Mario Steele

Bonjour Sebastien,

Tout d'abord, permettez-moi, veuillez m'excuser pour mon fran?ais, comme 
?a a ?t? bien plus de 8 ans que je ad'abord ?t? enseign?e. J'ai donc d? 
utiliser Google pour traduire certains de cela.

Premi?rement, je voudrais savoir un peu de votre configuration de votre 
syst?me. Est-il Windows, Linux, Macintosh? De m?me, lorsque vous 
t?l?chargez le Gem, est-ce que vous allez votre shell (invite de 
commande sous Windows, Terminal sous Linux et Macintosh), dans le 
r?pertoire que vous t?l?chargez de la gemme, et de faire "gem install 
wxruby-1.9.2-*.gem'? Le * est remplac? par votre syst?me d'exploitation 
cible, mswin32, darwin8.8.2, etc etc

Si vous n'avez pas, essayez ?a, et voir si elle vous permettra de 
l'installer, et ?crire m'a retour.

Sinc?rement,
Mario Steele

Bonjour,

Bon, essayons ici Sebastien. Suivez ces instructions ici, pour voir si 
nous pouvons l'obtenir pour fonctionner correctement.

Premi?rement, cr?er un r?pertoire temporaire de votre disque C:. 
Exemple: C:\Temp
Deuxi?mement, un nouveau t?l?chargement wxruby-1.9.2-mswin32.gem, et 
enregistrez-le dans C:\Temp
Troisi?mement, Ouvrez une fen?tre d'invite de commande, en allant dans 
D?marrer> Ex?cuter et tapez command.com ou cmd.com, soit devraient 
fonctionner.
Quatri?mement, le type en cd \Temp
Cinqui?me et dernier, tapez 'gem install --local wxruby-1.9.2-mswin32.gem'

De quoi cela ressemble, Ruby Gems essaie toujours d'aller sur le Web 
pour installer les pierres pr?cieuses, la cause ne peut trouver 
localement. Suite ? ces instructions devrait permettre wxRuby 1.9.2 
doivent ?tre install?s, ? partir de la copie que vous avez t?l?charg? 
sur votre r?pertoire temporaire. Une fois que vous avez termin? les 
?tapes ci-dessus, et il installe avec succ?s, vous pouvez supprimer le 
r?pertoire C:\Temp de votre disque, car il a servi son but.

Permettez-moi de savoir comment il va,
Mario Steele

Hello All,
(Salut)

god.)  So, I will also translate the conversation going on, so that 
everyone will be able to understand, and keep up with what has been 
going on:

l'anglais, alors j'en ai discut? avec lui, en fran?ais le meilleur moyen 
je sais combien (Google est dieu.) Donc, je vais aussi traduire la

Salut Sebastien,

Il semble que RubyGems est d'avoir avec les erreurs d'indexation et le 
t?l?chargement de wxRuby. Elle sera mieux pour vous de t?l?charger 
wxRuby - 1.9.2 de Rubyforge page, et l'installer si gemme. Ceci devrait 
vous permettre d'installer wxRuby 1.9.2.

utiliser Google pour traduire certains de cela.

Premi?rement, je voudrais savoir un peu de votre configuration de votre

t?l?chargez le Gem, est-ce que vous allez votre shell (invite de 
commande sous Windows, Terminal sous Linux et Macintosh), dans le 
r?pertoire que vous t?l?chargez de la gemme, et de faire "gem install 
wxruby-1.9.2-*.gem'? Le * est remplac? par votre syst?me d'exploitation 
cible, mswin32, darwin8.8.2, etc etc

Si vous n'avez pas, essayez ?a, et voir si elle vous permettra de 
l'installer, et ?crire m'a retour.

Sinc?rement,

Hello Sebastien,

First, let me, I apologize for my french, as it has been well over 8 
years since I was first taught. So I had to use Google to translate some 
of that.

First, I would like to know a little of your system configuration. Is it 
Windows, Linux, Macintosh? Also, when you download the Gem, will you 
your shell (command prompt under Windows, Linux Terminal and Macintosh), 
in the directory that you download from the gem, and to "gem install 
wxruby-1.9 .2 -*. gem '? * is replaced by your operating system target 
mswin32, darwin8.8.2, etc. etc.

If you have not, try it and see if it will allow you to install it, and 
write me back.

Sincerely,
Mario Steele

Bonjour,

Bon, essayons ici Sebastien. Suivez ces instructions ici, pour voir si 
nous pouvons l'obtenir pour fonctionner correctement.

Premi?rement, cr?er un r?pertoire temporaire de votre disque C:. 
Exemple: C:\Temp
Deuxi?mement, un nouveau t?l?chargement wxruby-1.9.2-mswin32.gem, et 
enregistrez-le dans C:\Temp
Troisi?mement, Ouvrez une fen?tre d'invite de commande, en allant dans 
D?marrer> Ex?cuter et tapez command.com ou cmd.com, soit devraient 
fonctionner.
Quatri?mement, le type en cd \Temp
Cinqui?me et dernier, tapez 'gem install --local wxruby-1.9.2-mswin32.gem'

De quoi cela ressemble, Ruby Gems essaie toujours d'aller sur le Web 
pour installer les pierres pr?cieuses, la cause ne peut trouver 
localement. Suite ? ces instructions devrait permettre wxRuby 1.9.2 
doivent ?tre install?s, ? partir de la copie que vous avez t?l?charg? 
sur votre r?pertoire temporaire. Une fois que vous avez termin? les 
?tapes ci-dessus, et il installe avec succ?s, vous pouvez supprimer le 
r?pertoire C:\Temp de votre disque, car il a servi son but.

Permettez-moi de savoir comment il va,

Hello,

Well, here are trying Sebastien. Follow these instructions here to see 
if we can get it to work properly.

First, create a temporary directory on your C: drive. Example: C:\Temp
Secondly, a new download wxruby-1.9.2-mswin32.gem, and save it to C:\Temp
Third, open a command prompt window, go to Start> Run and type 
command.com or cmd.com, or should work.
Fourth, the type cd \Temp
Fifth and last, type 'gem install --local wxruby-1.9.2-mswin32.gem'

What it resembles, Ruby Gems always tries to go on the Web to install 
precious stones, the cause can not find locally. Following these 
instructions should allow wxRuby 1.9.2 must be installed, from the copy 
you downloaded to your temporary directory. Once you have completed the 
above steps, and it installs successfully, you can delete the C: \ Temp 
your hard because it has served its purpose.

Let me know how it goes,
Mario Steele

is going on.

This UI guidelines page has been very interesting reading!
It recommends using "clearly recognizable icons [in tabs]
if there might be insufficient space to display meaningful
labels", which is just the use I have in mind.

On the above-mentioned page there is an example of "correct"
use of images in tabs, and the tabs are on the bottom.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

If you get a chance, could you please provide a link to this?
I googled around but couldn't find it. (I am admittedly

Not that I plan to do any Windows API coding, but it
might be educational reading.)

project to XRC and am trying to get XRCise to process it.
XRCise produces the message "Cannot create wrapper for

The Rubyforge team has now fixed the bug in the gem indexer, and Tom's 
deployed it to Rubyforge. So all the wxruby gems should once again be 
available via "gem install wxruby". Thanks to Tom and the Rubygems 
developers.

Sebastien - le probl?me a ?t? r?sous, et vous pouvez employer "gem 
install wxruby" pour l'installer.

Yes, I was planning to have a look at adding it before the next release. 
It's a new set of classes in 2.8 so I can't promise it will be successful.

Thanks for the report. It's because I don't know how to load a Wizard 
from XRC - currently only Dialog, Panel and Frame are supported.

There are lots of methods in the XmlResource API like load_frame, 
load_panel etc, but not one it seems for wizards. Using load_dialog 
doesn't work although Wizard is technically a subclass of Wx::Dialog.

I will have a further look into this, but if anyone knows how to load a 
Wizard in C++ wxWidgets, that would help...

cheers
alex

Just a quick update - I tried a preliminary wrapping of GraphicsContext 
and have a working sample drawing antialiased lines and text on Linux. 
Barring problems on other platforms we should be able to include this in 
the next wxRuby version.

Subject: [wxruby-users] SashWindowLayout design
Message-ID: <47399B88.5040602@mailbox.swipnet.se>

Hello!

I want a SashWindowLayout with 3 small panels (below each other) on the 
left side and the big remaining area to the right. All walls movable.

The approach that I've used to get kind of the effect I wanted was to 
first add the right-side area (right-aligned), then add 2 other 
top-aligned panels. Which leaves the remaining area to the panel at the 
bottom left.

I got a problem with this approach, though. When resizing the main 
window, the wall between the left and right part moves as well 
(=increasing/decreasing the width of all left-side panels). How do I get 
it to not resize?

I think the easiest solution is to make the right-hand area the 
'remaining' area, and have the others as panels. Have a look at 
sample/bigdemo/wxSashWindow.rb which seems to do this kind of thing.

The wxWidgets documents describe a sophisticated mechanism using 
CalculateLayoutEvent. I haven't used this class so didn't really get 
what was going on. But I'll try and add the LayoutEvent classes so 
they're at least available in wxRuby.

The tree control seemed to lack a more Ruby-ish way to add a bulk of 
items to a tree control (and to easily connect a data structure to a 
tree). Since tree view can be seen as an array of arrays, I simply added 
a method called append_array (see attached file). With it, you can add a 
full tree as simple as:

---
root = treectrl.add_root("Root")
treectrl.append_array(root, ["one", "two", ["sub1", "sub2"], "three"])
---

It also gives your objects the possibility to interact a bit more with 
the tree item, if needed. See the docs for the method.

My plans are also to add at least an update_array_item() method, to be 
able to refresh an object's visual tree state dynamically. However, the 
wxRuby docs for TreeCtrl#set_item_image isn't in Ruby syntax, so I don't 
know how to figure out the last parameter (which I need).

Would this be an useful addition to the existing wxRuby tree control? 
Comments are welcome!

Actually, I used the bigdemo sample as my starting point, but I failed 
to convert it to what i needed. Bigdemo adds the stacked panels 
horizontally from the left, which then gives the remaining area to the 
right. If I add instead panels from the top, the remaining area is at 
the bottom, and if I don't have anything at all on the right side, the 
added panels will cover the whole horizontal space.

I'll probably try to see if it works to put a SashWindowLayout within an 
existing SashWindowLayout.

OK, I haven't used SashLayoutWindow to know how to make it do that 
specifically.

Sounds good. You might find that SplitterWindow is an easier alternative 
for the main partition of the window into left and right. Use 
SplitterWindow#set_sash_gravity to apply all the increase in size to the 
"main" right window when the parent frame is resized.

Thanks, I like this. If it's OK with you, I'm going to add it to 
wxSugar, where there are some other convenient methods. Things to 
consider in developing this approach might be:

* How can we create a more general "nice" API for bulk adding items to 
all multi-item classes, like ListBox, ListCtrl etc
* It would be useful to have a way of adding item data, which I usually 
need to use with these type of classes

The values are Wx::TREE_ITEM_ICON_EXPANDED, Wx::TREE_ITEM_ICON_NORMAL 
etc - see samples/treectrl/ for an example of their usage. The docs 
needed a little tidy-up, thanks for the report.

On a tangent, it would also be nice to have a way to remember and 
reestore a TreeCtrl's state in terms of the expanded and collapsed 
items. I've written something that does this for an app, but I wonder if 
it would be more generally useful.

Renderer, which didn't appear useful in Ruby) to SVN trunk. The

I would really like to see that functionality added, I have thought
about adding something similar but it is very low on my priority list.

That sounds good, but I need to first add a small thing to the 
tree_item_ref callback method that I missed. When the object 
(optionally) receives the info about the treeitem id, it has to get the 
TreeCtrl object as well. Otherwise the object can't reference the tree 
id in a good way, if the object resides in another module etc.

I'll e-mail you an update later today.

> * How can we create a more general "nice" API for bulk adding items to

I'll look into this! Perhaps the API terminology should be streamlined 
for these kind of Ruby bulk-add (and related) methods? Any suggestions?

> * It would be useful to have a way of adding item data, which I usually 
> need to use with these type of classes

As you've seen, present in my TreeCtrl implementation, but probably 
harder to do in a ListBox, since there's no item_data for the strings. 
However, I'm thinking of adding a ListBox#insert_obj_items(), with the 
syntax:
ListBox#insert_obj_items(array, method, pos)

This would work like ListBox#insert_items(), appart from that you can 
specify the method in the array objects where the data should be 
retrieved (and then a to_s conversion to make sure the data is in string 
format). Often, the data for list boxes are already available in object 
arrays, but not necessarily in string arrays.

Sounds great! I'll see if I can get the SVN to work.

Message-ID: <473CBA61.8070005@mailbox.swipnet.se>

Hello!

Attached is a method to bulk add arrays to a list box, when the array 
isn't a string array. Feel free to add it to wxSugar.

Example:
arr = [[Wx::RED, "Red"],[Wx::GREEN, "Green"],[Wx::BLUE, "Blue"]]

listbox.insert_obj_items(arr, "[1]")
...would add 3 list box items with "Red"-"Green"-"Blue"

listbox.insert_obj_items(arr, "[1].length")
...would add 3 list box items with "3"-"5"-"4"

listbox.insert_obj_items(arr, ".length")
...would add 3 list box items with "2"-"2"-"2"

I hadn't tried a beta in a while, but did earlier this week with the
latest WxRuby and WxSugar.  This may be a known issue, but in case not,
gem install is not finding the Windows packages.

Given the WxSugar merging, are all its syntax conveniences planned?  For
example, I noticed that arrange_grid requires WxSugar at this point.  I
particularly appreciate syntax that makes layout more convenient.  I
noticed that sizers do not yet accept the :parameter => value style.

For some reason, the previous WxRuby is accessible with both the ruby.exe
and rubyw.exe interpreters, whereas WxRuby2 only is with rubyw.exe.  This
makes debugging code more difficult with a screen reader.  I need to run a
script with ruby.exe to get error messages printed to the console, but if
the script runs without errors, my screen reader (JAWS) shuts up
completely.  Has a change been made concerning redirection of standard or
error output streams, or use of threads, when running in Windows as
opposed to console mode?  I'd like to help get to the bottom of this so
that I can encourage other blind programmers to try GUI programming with
the latest WxRuby.

When instantiating a Frame or Dialog, can the code be made to assume nil
for the parent if that parameter is not specified?  In that way, one could
just use a single :title => value parameter without nil as the first
parameter preceding it.

Thanks for all the work by the WxRuby 2 developers!  I found valuable
samples and wiki information that have helped me get up to speed with the
current WxRuby capabilities.

Hi Jamal

Nice to hear from you. I am always impressed with the feedback I read 
about TextPal - it's a great example of wxRuby's support for OS 
accessibility features.

Yes, it's a known issue. Changes in Rubygems broke the platform-matching 
for binary gems, but we're working with the devs to fix that.

We haven't really discussed merging the 'layout' features of wxSugar 
into core. I wasn't sure how used and useful they were, and I've moved 
over to using XRC + DialogBlocks so I'm personally using those features 
less.

But I realise it's important to support pure editor-based programming as 
well, so I'm open to tidying them up and merging them. What do others 
think?

Not that I'm aware of. I almost always run under ruby.exe on Windows and 
haven't had any problems on normal exit, but I will try installing the 
screen reader. Are you running from the standard windows command prompt?

This is a bit tricky, because we need to distinguish between a nil 
parent and a call to the no-argument constructors for Frame or Dialog, 
which are used in conjunction with XRC. I will see if there's a 
backwards-compatible way of assuming a nil parent if there is any 
keyword argument passed.

Thanks for your kind words. I see that there have been recent releases 
of TextPal - is it still based on wxRuby? Please do feel free to post 
news of major releases here, as I'm sure people are interested to see 
examples of fully-featured end-user wxRuby applications.

Hello All,

I'm new to the list and to Ruby.

I was trying to use one of the examples as a skeleton for something that
I'm working on.

I'm currently stuck when it comes to adding another item to the
sub-menus.
I have a menu item by the name of "Tools" and I would like to add a
sub-menu item called "Find Unique Fields" but it doesn't show up when I
try to run it.

If I add a Wx::ID_UNIQUE and a handle for the event the program fails.

What do I need to do or what I'm I missing. I appreciate your response.


Thanks,


Glenn

Seems like you want the multi-line version of wxTextCtrl.

In general, if you're looking for a specific type of control, run the 
bigdemo sample and locate the control (and code) there.

Your example (the row that wasn't commented out) had nil as the menu 
item id, which will fail. Either you have to supply your own valid ID 
value (starting from 100 going upwards is a good idea) or you use 
Wx::ID_ANY as the ID and you'll get an automatically assigned id (use 
get_id for the returned menu item object to know the ID).

You have many ways to go here. Since you seem to choose to set up IDs 
yourself, first try a numerical value (for example 101) so you see how 
it works:
       menu_tools.append(101, "Find Unique Fields", "Find Unique Fields")
...and set up the menu item event handler...
       evt_menu 101, :on_unique_fields
...and then create the event handler method...
       def on_unique_fields
          p "on unique fields menu item selected"
       end

Now, replace the number 101 with ID_UNIQUE:

Bonjour tout le monde.
En fait je voudrait savoir si il est possible d'enlever l'une des trois fonctions de la frame(maximize_box, minimise_box, close_box).
On peut retirer les 3 en m?me temps, mais est-ce que l'on peut juste retirer l'une des trois?
merci

[Sebastien asked: is it possible to remove just one of the three frame 
standard frame buttons: maximize/minimize/close?]

Oui, on peut enlever une en par utilisant le 'style' argument au 
constructeur de Wx::Frame. Par exemple, si on ne veut pas une fonction 
'maximize', on peut panacher deux styles, comme ci:

no_max_style = Wx::DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE ^ Wx::MAXIMIZE_BOX
Wx::Frame.new(nil, :style => no_max_style)

L'operateur logique "^" enleve la fonction, comme l'operateur '|' ajoute 
une en.

[Yes, to remove one of the boxes, use the "style" argument to 
Wx::Frame's constructor. For example, to remove the maximise button, 
combine two styles as shown

The logical operator "^" removes the box from the default style, as "|" 
adds one ]

Ce que je veut pouvoir faire, c'est faire dispara?tre compl?tement l'une des trois options.
Avec la methode "maximize_box" par exemple tu d?sactive mais tu ne fait pas dispara?tre l'option de la frame.
Est-ce qu'il est possible d'obtenir cette option?

Use Frame#icon= or Frame#set_icon method.

PNG icons are usually the best cross-platform option:

my_frame.icon = Wx::Icon.new('path/to/icon.png', Wx::BITMAP_TYPE_PNG)

You can also use .ico icons on Windows only, and .xpm on Linux:

my_frame.icon = Wx::Icon.new('/path/to/icon.ico')

You might want to take a look at the samples directory that comes with 
wxRuby. Most basic operations such as this, as well as many advanced 
usages are demonstrated in those samples.

[Sebastien said: that's not what I was looking for - I want to be able 
to make one of the three options disappear completely, not just be disabled]

Je ne connais pas une fa?on de faire exactement ce que tu veux. Les 
dialogs n'affichent qu'une bouton de fermeture - ?a suffirait?

On peut afficher une Frame sans aucune "decoration" - vois l'?chantillon 
bigdemo/ShapedWindow.rb

Qu'est-ce que tu veux r?aliser? Le plus souvent, l'utilisateurs 
s'attendent ? ce que les trois options soient pr?sentes dans le premier 
frame d'une application.

[I don't know a way to do this exactly. Dialogs only have a close button 
- would that do?

You can show a frame without any decorations at all - see the 
bigdemo/ShapedWindow sample

What are you trying to achieve. Most often, useres will expect that the 
three options will be present in the main frame of an application]

On Windows at least, StaticText always draws its background in the theme 
background colour.

Instead of using StaticText, I would suggest drawing the text directly 
onto the bitmap using a DC (DeviceContext), inside an evt_paint event. 
Use draw_bitmap to paint the bitmap onto the frame, then draw_text to 
draw the text atop it.

The simplest example of this can be found in the dialogs/dialogs.rb 
sample - search for on_paint method.

Thanks for the test case - that was very helpful. Having worked with it 
I'm pretty sure this is down to Ruby's garbage collection prematurely 
destroying the ImageList (repeated resizing accumulates Event and Size 
objects, which eventually triggers GC). wxRuby should protect an 
assigned image list in this situation.

It should be a simple fix for the next wxRuby release with a DISOWN 
typemap, but in the meantime holding a reference to the image list as an 
instance variable of your Notebook should provide a workaround. Let me 
know if this doesn't seem to help.

cheers

In fact these errors occur as a result of error code on my part. I work with

Bonjour Sebastien,

Du sons de cela, il semble que c'est une erreur qui doit faire face ? Scite.
Ma question est pour vous, c'est quoi votre faisons avec Scite qui causait
cette erreur de se produire? Si c'est traitant de Scite, plus que probable,
il s'agit d'un probl?me de r?partition. Le syst?me d'exploitation peut ne
pas ?tre en mesure d'allouer de la m?moire assez vite, pour Scite, qui en
retour donne ? ce code d'erreur. Mais sans voir quelle est la cause de cette
erreur, il va ?tre difficile pour nous de suivre cette baisse.

Toute id?e vous pouvez nous donner, seront tr?s appr?ci?s.

[Hello Sebastien,

>From the sounds of this, it looks as though it's a specific error that has
to deal with Scite.  My question for you is, what is it your doing with
Scite that would cause this error to occur?  If it's dealing with Scite,
more then likely, it's an allocation problem.  The operating system may not
be able to allocate the memory fast enough, for Scite, which in return gives
this error code.  But without seeing what is causing this error, it is going
to be hard for us to track this down.

Any insight you can give us, will be much appreciated.]

[Sebastien said: However, I have another error message that appears at
times: "Exit code: 3"
I have no mistake in my application, but on the other hand this message
occurs when I open and close very often my application and after a while my
application is very long to open or not open any more and you get this
error.

Bonjour Sebastien,

Avec cette information, je voudrais v?rifier si vous avez des "fant?mes"
rubis processus en cours d'ex?cution. Du sons de celui-ci, le Ruby
interpr?te est toujours en cours d'ex?cution, de provoquer des wxWidgets l'a
pas effectivly sorti de l'main_loop (). V?rifiez ? l'aide de Ctrl + Alt +
Suppr pour faire appara?tre votre gestionnaire de t?ches, et de voir si le
processus est toujours en cours d'ex?cution. Si c'est le cas, c'est que vous
n'avez pas sorti des wxWidgets' main_loop (). Vous pouvez le faire en
chassant la wxCloseEvent, et en utilisant Wx:: App.exit_main_loop () pour
quitter compl?tement.

[Hello Sebastien,

With this information, I would check to see if you have any "ghost" ruby
processes running.  From the sounds of it, the Ruby interpreter is still
running, cause the wxWidgets hasn't effectivly exited the main_loop()
process.  Check to see by using Ctrl+Alt+Delete to bring up your task
manager, and see if the process is still running.  If it is, then you have
not exited wxWidgets' main_loop() function.  You can do this by catching the
wxCloseEvent, and using Wx::App.exit_main_loop() to exit out completely.]

[Sebastien said:
Hello.
Unable to not show all web pages with html window, is it possible from a
button paste the url chosen in the search bar of IE7 for example and open
IE7 automatically to the page sought?
Can you give me some explanation if possible?]

Bonjour Sebastien,

Wx:: HtmlWindow ne supporte pas les instructions HTML, comme les feuilles de
style en cascade ou JavaScript, qui peuvent causer le plus de ne pas
afficher les pages correctement. Si vous souhaitez installer quelque chose
o? si vous avez l'URL de la page, et vous voulez que l'utilisateur soit en
mesure de lancer la page dans Internet Explorer 7 ou Firefox, vous pouvez
utiliser # noyau du syst?me ( "iexplore # de (url)") ou # Noyau du syst?me (
"firefox, # de (url)"). Parfois, la seule vocation du noyau syst?me # ( "#
de (url)") se lance automatiquement ? l'utilisateur le navigateur pr?f?r?
pour vous. Mais cela ne fonctionne que sous Windows, que Linux n'a pas de
m?thode officielle pour le lancement des navigateurs, sans savoir ce qui
l'aide de votre gestionnaire de fen?tres, comme KDE ou Gnome, soit la moiti?
du million d'autres gestionnaires de fen?tres qui existe.

Esp?rons que cette aide.

[Hello Sebastien,

Wx::HtmlWindow does not fully support HTML instructions, such as Cascading
Style Sheets, or JavaScript, which can cause most pages not to display
properly.  If you want to setup something where if you have the URL to the
page, and want the user to be able to launch the page in Internet Explorer 7
or Firefox, you can utilize Kernel#system("iexplore #{url}") or
Kernel#system("firefox #{url}").  Sometimes, just calling
Kernel#system("#{url}") will automatically launch the user's preferred
browser for you.  But this only works on Windows, as Linux has no official
method for launching browsers, without knowing which Window Manager your
using, such as KDE or Gnome, or half the million other Window managers out
there.

Hope this helps.]

Bonjour.
Est-ce que vous pouvez me donner un peu plus de pr?cision et d'explication sur: Kernel#system("iexplore #{url}")
Normalement en utilisant cette ligne de code, ca doit coller l'url dans la barre de recherche et ouvrir IE7 automatiquement ? la page recherch?e?

[Sebastian said: could you give me a little more detail about 
Kernel#system("iexplore #{url}")?]

http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/html/ref_m_kernel.html#Kernel.system

"system" donne son argument au shell pour ?tre ex?cut?. Windows doit 
pouvoir trouver "iexplore" dans PATH, et, pour moi (Windows XP SP2), il 
n'est pas trouv?, et donc, ne fonctionne pas. Cependant, on peut se 
servir de system("explorer #{url}") qui m?ne ? le m?me resultat.

Je te sugg?re d'experimenter avec "Command Prompt" afin de trouver un 
command convenable ? donner ? "system"

["system" gives its argument to the shell to be executed. Windows must 
be able to find "iexplore" in PATH, and, for me (Windows XP SP2), it's 
not there, and so it doesn't work. However, one can use system("explorer 
#{url}") which gives the same result.

I suggest you try out with "Command Prompt" to find the appropriate 
command to give to "system"]

Je t'a sugg?r? ? essayer system("explorer #{url}") - est-ce que c'a marche?

Ceci est une question generale de ruby - mais on peut tenter ce qui se 
passerait avec "system" par entrer une commande au terminal (eg "Command 
Prompt"/cmd.exe - je suis desol? que je ne sais pas comment il t'appelle 
en Fran?ais)

Subject: [wxruby-users] Problems installing/running svn-code
Message-ID: <474D9CA4.4070906@xs4all.nl>

Hi,

The last couple of days I've been trying to get back on the wxRuby-horse
however I've ran into some problems while compiling/testing the
subversion sources. Mind, the 1.9.2 official release works fine.
Absolutely no problems whatsoever.

The first hurdle was that the rake install target doesn't work. It fails
on rakewx.rb:145. Looking into it I found that $target_lib wasn't set to
anything. Searching the sources I couldn't find where it is supposed to
be set.

Still the rake gem command works fine so I installed the newly created
gem. However when trying to run the minimal sample (only one I tried) it
segfaults. After recompiling both wxGTK and wxRuby with debug enabled I
decided to run it through gdb.

I couldn't find anything, it's just a wee bit too complex for me to
handle right now. Don't think this is useful for the developers but just
in case it might be this is the error I got: undefined symbol:
_Z10wxOnAssertPKwiPKcS0_S0_

I am running wxGTK-2.8.6, Ruby 1.8.6, RubyGems 0.9.4 and the wxruby
subversion archive is up-to-date (rev 1450). I compiled wxGTK with the
following configure command:
./configure --disable-shared --with-gtk --enable-monolithic \
 --enable-unicode --enable-debug --enable-catch_segvs
--enable-graphics_ctx \
 --enable-mediactrl --with-opengl --with-libjpeg=builtin
--with-libpng=builtin \
 --with-libtiff=builtin --with-zlib=builtin --with-expat=builtin
--enable-gui  \
 --enable-xrc --enable-mdi --enable-gif \
 --enable-pcx --enable-iff --enable-pnm --enable-xpm


With kind regards,
Jonathan Maasland

Hello Mario.
After yet had an error message: "Exit code: 3", I check in the task manager,

Bonjour Sebastien,

D'accord, ce que nous avons ?limin? la possibilit? d'avoir d?voy? rubis

nous pouvons r?duire o? cela est appel? ? partir, nous serons peut-?tre en
mesure de d?terminer si cela est un probl?me avec Ruby, ou des wxWidgets. De
me le faire savoir d?s que possible.

[Okay, so we have eliminated the possibility of there being rogue ruby
processes still running.  At least we can now determine that ruby is
existing as it is suppose to.  Is there a specific action you did to create
the 'Exit Code 3' report?  If we can narrow down where this is being called
from, we may be able to determine if this is a problem with Ruby, or
wxWidgets.  Let me know as soon as possible.

Subject: [wxruby-users] Tearing in my buffered animation test script...
Message-ID: <839490bc0711302028v35a8d9d5lb959762b17f115e8@mail.gmail.com>

OK, I have a basic blit demo working (thanks to Alex Fenton for his
reply, which I finally saw).

However, there's a great deal of "tearing" on the screen - flickering
grey lines in the black background.  It looks like the blit isn't
always complete when the screen refreshes.

Can anyone look at this and tell me what I might be doing wrong?  Any
help would be most appreciated!
