Subject: [wxruby-users] API survey results & update
Message-ID: <46DBE058.5080002@pressure.to>

Thanks to everyone who voted in the API style survey. We had 10 votes 
altogether - we're not electing the prime minister, after all - but it 
was decisively a yes. 90% (9/10) supported adding keyword constructors, 
and 77% (7/9) ruby-style accessors. The changes are summarised at the 
bottom of the email.

We hope to have a 1.9.1 release incorporating these in the next week or 
two. 1.9.1 will also add StyledTextCtrl (Scintilla) support, as well as 
BitmapComboBox and RendererNative. Lastly it has some useful bugfixes to 
methods - eg TreeCtrl#on_compare_items; Choice#append; 
ListCtrl#get_item_rect

cheers

1) All widgets and frames can be created using keyword args. This is 
really handy, for example, if you mainly use Sizers to manage layouts, 
and so rarely need to set an explicit size or position for a window. So, 
for a multiline TextCtrl, before, this was necessary

Wx::TextCtrl.new(parent, -1, Wx::DEFAULT_POSITION, Wx::DEFAULT_SIZE, 
Wx::TE_MULTILINE)

now this is enough:

Wx::TextCtrl.new(parent, :style => Wx::TE_MULTILINE)

2) One of the keyword constructor aspects is to allow a shorter notation 
for Size and Position arguments, using a two-element array:

Wx::TextCtrl.new(parent, :size => [200, 100])

For consistency, this shorthand will be made available to all methods 
which accept point or size arguments:

textctrl.set_size [200, 100]
# or
textctrl.size = [200, 100]

3) Getter and setter methods can be accessed using the naming style more 
common in Ruby as well as that more common in C++/Java:

* Instance methods like get_foo can be accessed as foo
* Instance methods like set_foo can be accessed as foo=
* Instance methods like is_foo can be accessed as foo?

Hi,

I have used set_item_data with ruby objects (an array) and got a crash.
The reason is simple, the objects were deallocated by the GC.

The easy solution would be to accept only long parameters (like the
original interface).
The hard is to play by the GC's rules and increase the reference count
and decrease on deletion.

Regards,
teki

It shouldn't do that. wxRuby tries to protect any objects that have been 
set as item_data from Ruby's GC. Please could you post some code that 
reproduces the problem, along with platform/version info?

>From this information you provided, I belive that the wxListCtrl#set_item_data and wxListCtrl#get_item_data need a Integer based value, and the way Alex has interpreted this to work, is to convert the Ruby Object into a pointer to it, so that the data can be saved to the wxListCtrlItem, and then later retrived via converting the pointer back into a Ruby Object, and returning the value of it.  However, all that is being returned, is either nil, or corrupt data.

There is two options for this.  One option, is to correct the way set_item_data and get_item_data in the backend, /OR/ modify the Ruby Side of the Code, using a class attribute for ListCtrlItem, to store the data in a hash, with the item instance as the key, and the data as the value, and then overloading the  set_item_data/get_item_data to code that will simply set and fetch the data from the hash.  Just my two cents.

Also, sending this to the Development list to, so that way, it's on both lists.

Hi,

is there any way to center the default Wx::MessageDialog or Wx::message_box
on parent (owner) instead of screen?

I haven't found any constant other than Wx::DEFAULT_POSITION.

thanks for your help.

Thanks for the test case. This is now fixed in SVN. The problem was that 
controls loaded from XRC weren't getting allocated the right mark 
functions to protect related items from GC. This would have affected 
quite a lot of classes, so should fix numerous possible crashers when 
using XRC.

I also corrected the documentation to show that any ruby object can be 
used as item_data (as with other similar classes)

cheers

Dialogs have a centre_on_parent method, inherited from Wx::Window, which 
should do what you want

Ciao Alex,
i've found that method but it doesn't work, this is what i did:

      md = Wx::MessageDialog.new(parent, message,
                               title, Wx::OK|Wx::ICON_EXCLAMATION)
      md.centre_on_parent()
      md.show_modal()

is it the right sequence?

thank you.

fabio.

Looks like this won't work with MessageDialog on Windows; see this 
thread on the wx mailing list:

http://lists.wxwidgets.org/archive/wx-users/msg14354.html

If it really must be centred, you could derive a class from Wx::Dialog

Hello All,

There seems to have been a lot of interest in getting wxScintilla 
incorperated, and I think most of us who want it, want it so we can 
create an editor, so to avoid multiple projects comming out with the 
same goal (Not really that bad of a problem....), I'm going to kick 
start this, and ask that anyone interested in developing a Editor with 
wxRuby and wxScintilla, to send me an Email off list, and I'll establish 
an Email List for us to talk about with getting an IDE together.  More 
programmers on a project definatly can help out.  Make sure you use the 
email address that you want to receive the emails from the list on, when 
you email me.

L8ers,

Mario Steele

I'm glad we fixed wxStyledTextCtrl. I've just scratched the surface and 
finding it a very handy alternative to TextCtrl + TE_RICH2 for my own 
apps - much better cross-platform consistency and lots more features. It 
would be interesting to see how else it can be used.

You might want to look into the FreeRIDE project [1] which is a Ruby IDE 
in ruby. It uses FXRuby + FXScintilla, but they originally intended to 
switch to wxRuby once it was ready. From experience it's not usually 
that hard to rewrite FXRuby to wxRuby GUI code.

Development seems to have faltered and there's some discussion on their 
list [2] about what the unique 'sell' of FreeRIDE is given the 
alternatives from lightweight (eg SCITE) to traditional (Emacs and vi) 
to heavyweight (NetBeans, Eclipse + DLTK or RDT, Aptana).

Hey Alex,

I've used FreeRIDE before, and am not so much a fan of it.  Design and 
all, is alright, but I'm looking for something a bit more solid.  Plus, 
I'm looking at the possibility of incorperating other stuff into the 
IDE.  Like taking advantage of the wxAUI for one, and creating a XRC 
Developer to be included with the editor, to bring an all in one 
application to do just about anything with wxRuby.  Giving it something 
that other IDE's doesn't really have.

Hello Lance,

I've looked over your code for Hamr.  And I'm sorry, but I'm not much of 
a MVC fan, when it comes to developing Applications.  To much of a 
learning curve for me, as I've tried working with Ruby On Rails, and 
could never peg down what I wanted to do, to get something done.  Guess 
it comes from my previous experience with working with other programming 
languages.

[Is it possible to save the colours when using Wx::ColourDialog?]

Oui, c'est possible. Quand on cr?e un ColourDialog, on peut donner un 
objet de ColourData comme le deuxi?me argument au 'new'. Avec cet objet, 
on peut nommer le couleur pre-choisi, et aussi dix-sept autres choix. On 
retrouve les couleur qui est choisi avec ColourDialog#get_colour_data.

Voyez on_choose_colour dans sample/dialogs/dialogs.rb

[Yes, you can - when creating a ColourDialog, you can give a ColourData 
object as the second argument. This object can specify the pre-selected 
main colour, and up to sixteen custom colours to. You can retrieve the 
chosen colour by calling ColourDialog#get_colour_data

See the method on_choose_colour in sample/dialogs/dialogs.rb]

Subject: [wxruby-users] wxRuby 1.9.1, wxSugar 0.1.17
Message-ID: <46E648A7.8010705@pressure.to>

I'm very happy to announce that new versions of wxRuby and wxSugar are 
now available.

== CHANGES ==

* Merged nice ruby-style syntax options into core wxRuby
* Re-added support for StyledTextCtrl (Scintilla) component
* Added BitmapComboBox and RendererNative classes
* Fixed nasty bug which could cause instability in XML-loaded layouts
* Numerous other fixes and new methods in existing classes
* Figured out how to build on AMD-64 Linux
* Upgraded binary builds to be based on latest wxWidgets 2.8.5
* New and updated samples and docs

A full ChangeLog is included with the download. For fuller information 
on the new syntax options, see 
http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/doc/wxruby_intro.html .

== INSTALLATION ==

gem install wxruby

NOTE: if you're using wxSugar in existing code, please upgrade to the 
latest version at the same time as installing wxRuby 1.9.1 (gem install 
wx_sugar)

NOTE: We currently have binary builds for Linux (Intel) Windows (Intel) 
and OS X (Intel and PPC) We hope to have Linux (AMD64) added shortly.

== KNOWN ISSUES ==

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

== NEXT STEPS ==

For 1.9.2, we're considering adding some additional syntax options from 
wxSugar, then freezing the API. With some luck, 1.9.2 might be a 2.0 
release candidate.

== CREDITS ==

As ever, this version's only possible thanks to collaboration from the 
core dev team and other participants. Particular thanks to: Sean Long 
for ongoing support and providing many binary builds; Glenn Davy for 
working through the AMD 64 build process; Roy Sutton, who did the 
original work on wxScintilla; and to all those who filed bugs, answered 
queries and took part in surveys & discussions on the mailing lists.

Hey there.

I have an application that I developed with an older branch of wxruby
some time ago, and I made heavy use of the LayoutConstraints class.
I've been looking around, but so far haven't found much in the way of
advice for this scenario.  Is there any existing documentation as to
updating such applications?

Thanks,

I haven't seen any such documentation unfortunately.

The upgrade path is to use Wx::Sizer. These are fully supported in 
wxRuby and are used by all the major IDE packages so aren't going anywhere.

I haven't used LayoutConstraints so don't really know how these classes 
work beyond the limited documentation. But from skimming:

- Where you want to position one widget in top-bottom or left-right 
sequence to another, instead of using LayoutConstraint#left_of etc, with 
Sizers you create a BoxSizer with Wx::VERTICAL or Wx::HORIZONTAL, and 
then add widgets to it in the order you want them to appear.

- Where you want to size one widget relative to one another, you pass 
proportion arguments to Sizer#add. So if you want one widget to be twice 
the size of the other, you give the larger widget proportion 2, the 
other proportion 1. You can use proportion 0 to give a widget a minimum 
"natural" size and retaining that size as the containing parent is resized.

There is a Sizer tutorial on the wxRuby wiki which is a bit dated but 
might help. Also you might look into the "arrange" methods of wxSugar 
which make working with Sizers simpler and more reliable.

Hi

I've added a page to the wiki to show some screenshots opf the wxRuby 
samples:

http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?ScreenShots

I'd like to get some screenshots for OS X to add to this, if anyone 
could supply them please. It would be nice to show the minimal sample 
for all three platforms, plus perhaps some of the ones that aren't 
included there.

Also if you have a wxRuby app that you'd like to mention and show off on 
the website, drop me a line

cheers

Hi,

I'm not sure if somebody already answered. So I compiled the desired
screenshots for OS X (10.4). Unfortunately the Scintilla sample does
not work on my machine, so this screenshot is missing.

Feel free to use the others for any purpose.

Cheers,

Yea I had problems with the Scintilla example as well. I don't have

I can report if you like.

-------------------------
The error occured in the 1.9.0 gem and seems to be fixed in 1.9.1
-------------------------


I entered "ruby scintilla.rb" in the samples/text folder. This
produced the following error:

scintilla.rb:54:in `initialize': uninitialized constant
Wxruby2::Scintilla (NameError)
       from scintilla.rb:169:in `new'
       from scintilla.rb:169:in `on_init'
       from scintilla.rb:177:in `main_loop'
       from scintilla.rb:177

line 54 reads:
   @sci = Wx::Scintilla.new(self)

In the current gem the same line reads:
    @sci = Wx::StyledTextCtrl.new(self)

Everything solved. Just update to the current version of the gem.

Cheers,

Gregor

window got focus - and a screenshot of the scintilla example app.

If I remember correctly when I built the 1.9.0 gems for OS X (Intel &
PPC) and Windows Scintilla was not included. With gem 1.9.1 and beyond
Scintilla will be included standard, unless that decision is changed
down the line for size reasons. If you do have problems with the 1.9.1
gem and Scintilla let us know.

Thanks

What did you use to take the screen shot? I used the grab window
function in Preview.app and it would not grab the focus.

I will try updating the pictures, yesterday I could not get it to work
and had to have Alex do it for me.

Thanks for the screenshots

I'm using a dashboard widget called Screenshot Plus. There is also a
keyboard shortcut to capture the current window, but I always forget
it.

Message-ID: <49f64a900709150937m61c101b1o9e4918d51e36df6e@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

Recently a user of my editor (Hamr) reported that while using ruby
1.8.6 on windows, the close button would re-open the entire
application once and quit. I heard that 1.8.6 has had problems with
SOAP because it double posts. Is there something completely screwed up
in 1.8.6 or did I make a programming error? :)

-TIA

Yes upgrading to wxRuby 1.9.1 will allow you to use Scintilla and also
contains many fixes since the 0.0.40 release, mainly dealing with
memory leaks and crashes.

What version of wxRuby are you using when getting this problem? Please
update to the 1.9.1 release and see if the problem is still present.

I believe I am still using 1.8.4 on my windows machine (not at that
machine right now to confirm) and it works fine. You may want to try
1.8.4 or 1.8.5 and see if you still are experiencing the problem, I
really need to update my Windows system to the current Ruby release to
test this.


thanks for pointing this potential problem out

Found the shortcut: type CMD-SHIFT-4, then SPACE and select the window
you want to take a picture of.

Message-ID: <ca0724b20709151327q3a066cd5pa6985143dd61f97e@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

wxRuby 1.9.1 introduced great Rubish style accessors (x.label as a synonym
for x.get_label).
I just found that get_id has no corresponding Rubish style id accessor.

For a CheckListBox or a StaticText (I haven't checked for other kind of
controls), id just returns the Ruby object_id.
This is very confusing and not consistent with other accessors.

Chauk-Mean.

I was under the assumption that wxruby2-preview was the later release
because it said wxruby2 haha... I guess this is not the case and 1.9.1
will continue to be the latest ? If this is true then somehow the
wxruby2 release should be deprecated from the site to discourage users
from downloading it.

Salut Alex. Quand j'utilise:

J'aimerai pouvoir cr?er un ?venement ? la fermeture de mon application, quand je la ferme avec window manager, qui pourrait me permettre d'initialiser ma variable.
Quel est la chose que je ne fait pas correctement?

It's because Ruby defines the deprecated method Object#id that we didn't 
make it a nice accessor for wxRuby. But instead of Wx::Window#get_id you 
can use the method wx_id.

Probably need to update the documentation on this point; sorry for the 
confusion.

[...this completely disactivates closing the application - why?]

Br?vement, tu dois tu servir de 'event.skip' dans on_sortie:

evt_close { | event | on_sortie(event) }
def on_sortie(event)
  @fich1 = nil
  event.skip
end

event.skip() dit ? wxRuby de continuer et faire ce qu'il aurait fait - 
en ce cas, fermer le Frame. Il est dessin? comme ca pour qu'on puisse 
bloquer des evenements - par exemple, si on veut demander si un fichier 
devrait enregistr? avant la fermeture.

[ Basically, you have to call event.skip in the event handling method 
on_sortie. event.skip tells wxRuby to continue and process the event as 
it would have done - in this case, close the Frame. It's designed like 
this so one can block events - for example, to ask if a file should be 
saved before closing a window.

wx_id is almost as long typing as get_id :-)

I thought that Object#id has been made obsolete in favor of Object#object_id
because id is generally used by as an "application id".
This is exactly the case for wxRuby, id means wxRuby id not the object_id.
Consequently, I don't think there is a problem to define an id accessor may
be at Wx::Window level.

In any case, this would be a good idea.

For me, on XP, its:

Ctrl + Alt + Prt Screen    // window w/focus

Ctrl + Prt Screen           // entire screen

I too forget these;(  But I do remember that it is some such 
combination, involving Prt Screen, and get the required one by 
experiment, whenever wanted.

Great.  Many, many thanks to yourself and all involved.

FWIW, I've just, in the last min, installed it on an i586-linux box. 
The nearest option being i686-linux.  I hope that this will be ok, and 
that nothing has been compiled assuming any instructions not available 
on a 586.  If this is expected to be ok, perhaps the install menu might 
reassure the reader by including 586 as well?

Anyway, thanks again.

Another newbie question from me, I'm afraid.  The gem installs reported 
successful install; but I can't find wxruby.  (Using 'find /' with 
-name, -ilname etc.)  So what more do I need to do?  I ran the gem 
install from my home directory, and expected that perhaps I'd need to 
add path(s).  But obviously I need to do something(s) else and/or 
differently.

TIA for any help.

Regards,

Alec

I don't think this should be a problem, but I'm not sure. The names of 
the gems are automatically generated and they can cause problems if they 
are changed.

I make the linux gems on Ubuntu 7.4 and if someone could tell me how to 
get it make i386-linux or similar I'd be happy to do that.

wxRuby's library and samples will be installed in 
path/to/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/gems/wxruby-1.9.1/ eg /usr/local/lib/ruby/... 
You don't need to add these paths anywhere.

As with any library being used from a gem, you need to tell ruby to 
allow libraries to be loaded by rubygems. There are several ways to do 
this, but briefly, you can do it on the command line:

ruby -rubygems my_wxruby_script.rb

or at the start of the ruby script, before you load wx

require 'rubygems'
require 'wx'

Subject: [wxruby-users] Troubles with ListBox and CheckListBox events
Message-ID: <ca0724b20709200208u31d29714q8fec0a3b2ccb5846@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

Here is an excerpt of code (with the new syntax from upcoming wxRuby 1.9.2) :

    evt_checklistbox(my_checklist, :on_checklistbox)
    evt_listbox(my_checklist, :on_listbox)
    evt_listbox(my_list, :on_listbox)

  def on_checklistbox(event)
    checklist = event.event_object
#    puts "listbox - event : item[#{event.int}] checked : #{event.checked?}"
    puts "listbox - event : item[#{event.selection}] checked :
#{checklist.checked?(event.selection)}"
  end

  def on_listbox(event)
    puts "listbox - event : item[#{event.selection}] '#{event.string}'
- selected : #{event.selection?}"
  end

my_checklist is a CheckListBox and my_list is a ListBox.

- Trouble 1 :
When I select AND when I unselect an item in my_checklist or my_list,
the on_listbox is called and displays :
   - the index (through event.selection) and the text (through
event.string) of the item both when the item is selected AND when the
item is unselected.
  - one can know if an item is actually selected through the
event.selection? (or is_selection) call.

This is fine and this is what I expect but the wxRuby documentation
states that :
"CommandEvent#get_selection
Integer get_selection()
Returns item index for a listbox or choice selection event (not valid
for a deselection).

CommandEvent#get_string
String get_string()
Returns item string for a listbox or choice selection event (not valid
for a deselection)."

=> Question :
The documentation contradicts the actual behaviour which I find correct.
Is the documentation incorrect ?

- Troubles 2 & 3 :
When I check and when I uncheck an item in my_checklist, the
on_checklistbox is called and displays :
   - the index (through event.int or event.selection) of the item that
is checked or unchecked.
  - event.checked? doesn't tell whether the item is checked or not
(see the ommented line). I had to go through the CheckListBox object
and calls checked? with the index (see the uncommented line).

=> Question :
The wxRuby documentation states that :
"CommandEvent#get_int
Integer get_int()
Returns the integer identifier corresponding to a listbox, choice or
radiobox selection (only if the event was a selection, not a
deselection), or a boolean value representing the value of a
checkbox."

Are int and selection synonyms or is one of them is the normal way for
accessing the index of a checked/unchecked item from a CheckListBox ?
Again the doc is not clear as int is expected to work only for a
selection and not the deselection.

=> Other question :
Is there a bug that makes checked? not working for an event of CheckListBox ?

Sorry for this long post.

Cheers.

Chauk-Mean.

On Win32 I see the same as you, ie the desirable behaviour that these 
work whether it's a selection or a deselection, and also whether 
multiple selections are permitted (see the doc for get_extra_long).

But the current wxWidgets documentation [1] still has the statement 
about GetSelection and GetString being invalid for deselections. I don't 
know whether this is a wxWidgets doc error, or a warning that this is 
not guaranteed across platforms. Which have you tested on?

I took a look at the way wxWidgets implements this, and 
CommandEvent#is_checked is only meant to work with (a single) CheckBox - 
it will not work with a CheckListBox. To be fair, the docs do state 
this, but rather subtly. So for a CheckListBox it must be done by 
calling the Window's checked? method, as you have done.

Yes, they are synonyms and the C++ methods do the same thing internally. 
I would be inclined to deprecate one but I find both names a bit 
inadequate, since get_selection may be returning the id of an item being 
checked or unchecked, not selected. The is_selection method does 
disambiguate these correctly though.

As with much of the docs we inherited from Wx it's doubtless 
comprehensive and mostly accurate but also a bit short on the overall 
picture for each class. Happily it's easy to patch the wxRuby docs...

I don't understand the added value of get_extra_long as is_selection
gives the same information.

I understand. I'm running on Win32.

OK even if it's a pity :-).

OK.

If agree. For a "selection event", selection is meaningful.
For a "check event", both int and selection are not appropriate.

I would propose to add the more general name index (get_index) which
is both meaningful for a selection and a check.
Thus, the same method may be used for the two kinds of event.
selection and int methods may be kept for "compatibility reasons" with
wxWidgets.

It would be great if wxRuby doc clarifies these subtle things.

I'll try on Linux later, but don't have a OS X machine at the moment.

Yes, that was my first thought for a name for such a method.

It would. We do try and write overviews, eg the recently updated event 
handling one*. The focus of the small dev team is naturally enough on 
the core library right now; small contributions to the docs are thus 
really welcome.

I will be glad to contribute to the documentation.
Can you give me a link to a HOW TO for contributing to the doc.

I just tried this out on Linux/GTK and indeed get_selection and 
get_string are empty when it's a deselection event. So wxWidget's docs 
are correct and you shouldn't rely on this working if you want to use 
this cross-platform.

Also committed the get_index alias to core

The old wxruby2-preview gems are no longer listed when using the gem
command, thanks for pointing this confusion out.
