Ok i've found my way:

Now my ComboBox consumes ENTER and TAB keys :)

One more question:

I use window#navigate() to simulate TAB.
calling it by default param is fine even if it doesn't reconize the mapping
constant Wx::NavigationKeyEvent::IsForward

what about if i'd like to navigate backward?

i supposed a constant like Wx::NavigationKeyEvent::IsBackward

but i get an uninitialized constant
Wxruby2::Wx::NavigationKeyEvent::IsBackward

any suggestion?

regards.

Try using the following values to indicate backwards and forwards to 
Window#navigate (never even knew about that method until today...)

IsBackward = 0
IsForward = 1

Subject: [wxruby-users] how do i refresh a window
Message-ID: <1060ade8bf53da1210179f3bf9a183a5@ruby-forum.com>

wel, I'm back with another newbee question.

the problem i'm having and that i coldn't find it on the internet is how
to refresh a window, but someting more explained, maybe a tutorial or
some doc?

when i put muy window behind another one the contents is 'deleted',
still there but not visible until i click again (for example in a
textbox), in most cases.

ok, first i'll explain what I'm Doing (wrong)

first i call class Minimalapp

Minumalapp calls a Frame class

Within the frame class, on process initialize, I declare the menus, tool
bars, panels, and a book. After the book i call both   update() and
refresh() (in that order), but when i run the program and put the window
behind another one it doesn't update.

the code (abstract) is this:

-class Aframe< WX::Frame
--def initialize
---menu bars and toolbars
---NoteBook
----panel
----textbox
----combobox
----etc
---update()
---refresh()
--end
-end

-class Minimalapp< wx::App
-- on_init #calls Aframe
-end

#call minimallapp.main_loop

any help for this newbee would be good.
thanks

well it worked, with some other small modifications to the code, but it

First off, update() and refresh() is only executed once, when you initialize
your Frame.  It doesn't do any subsiquent repainting, as initialize is never
executed again in the lifetime of your Frame that you just created.  To put
it into simpler terms, you do this:

myframe = Aframe.new

myframe will call the initialize method on Aframe to get everything setup.
Where your update() and refresh() are.  After this point, initialize is
never called again, nor should it be, least your creating a new instance of
Aframe.

Secondly, the frame should be doing it's own updates and refreshes, unless
you are intercepting a evt_paint() on the frame itself.  If your doing that,
then it will not repaint the frame itself, till you pass along the ok for
wxRuby to repaint the window itself.

Unless your doing some specialized graphics, you shouldn't need to intercept
the evt_paint(), and even then, if your doing specialized graphics, in a
certian area of your frame, I would strongly suggest that you create an
instance of panel, to do all of your drawing.

If you could, post an absolute minimal example of the app replicating this
problem, full code, we can look at why this is occuring.  Also, could you
please state if your on Mac, Windows, or Linux?

Yeah, I can have a look at it; please file a Feature Request to track it.

I've tried adding the class before and ran into problems. But classes 
that were previously difficult can often be solved now as the wrappings 
generally have improved.

Hi all,

I am totally new to Ruby and Wx so i'd appreciate it if someone could 
tell me why my menubar doesn't show

Here is the code (running on Vista...):

class MinimalApp < App
    def on_init
      @frame = Frame.new(nil, -1, "Lister")
      @frame.set_client_size(600,400)
     
      @sizer = BoxSizer.new(VERTICAL)
     
      @menubar = MenuBar.new
     
      @file = Menu.new
      @open = @file.append("Open", "open")
      @menubar.append(@file, "File")
     
      @sizer.add(@menubar, 0, GROW|ALL, 2)
   
      @frame.set_sizer(@sizer)

      @frame.show
    end
 end

Well,I've not tryed the syntaxis but, apparently you need: to use 
set_menu_bar(@menubar).

Maybe a @frame.set_menu_bar(@menubar) would do the job.

I'm not doing specialized graphics, or I think so.

I'm attaching a minimal example. The problems I found in my computer 
(windows)are:
- The line is not drawn.
- In report>person menu, If you select the combo, it errases a part of 
the grid (the part that was covered by the options)
- In configuration> states menu, the TextCtrl has no borders.
- When i minimize, restore, or cover the window with another window (the 
console window for example)the painting goes crazy, sometimes it 
dissapears, or the borders (when they had appeared) dissapear again.

> please state if your on Mac, Windows, or Linux?

We have tested it in two windows xp (media center and SP Professional) 
computers and is the same error.
But in Mac it seems to be working fine.

If you are trying to find the error, try anything you thing on the 
window (cover it, minimize, restore, etc.) so you can see what I mean

Thanks for your help.

Pages within Notebooks must be children of the Notebook. So everywhere 
you have Panel.new(self) you should have Panel.new(@book). With that 
changed, and adding some labels to the notebook tabs, things look to be 
working fine.

I've only tested on OS X but I'd be pretty sure that having the wrong

Hi,

i am working on a little editor based on the StyledTextCtrl. The
problem: The keys "wrtzfy.-#+124780" are not being received by the
control, so there is no output within the control and no events are
being triggered. I've tested this on two different machines running (one
running XP and the other one running Vista), but these keys do work with
other controls within the same application. Any idea what might be the
cause?

That's strange. I can't reproduce the error on XP using the wxRuby 
scintilla sample. Could you try running that sample please? If the 
sample problem occurs, then I guess it's a bug with Vista, otherwise 
there must be something in your app that's consuming those characters. 
Perhaps an evt_char handler that is not calling skip on the event?

If this doesn't help, please send a minimal, runnable, self-contained 
sample that demonstrates the issue.

Thanks for your response. I actually never saw this demo before and it 
works perfectly. So, looking at it, i see the main difference between my 
code and the demo code is that i use an extended StyledTextCtrl, while 
the demo uses a direct instance of StyledTextCtrl. For testing, i 
trimmed my extended class as far as possible until the following code 
remained, while the problem still remained:

  class EditorPage < Wx::StyledTextCtrl
  end

So the demo uses

  @sci = Wx::StyledTextControl.new(self)

while i use

  @sci = EditorPage.new(self)

Note that this problem occurs on both, Windows XP and Vista.

I don't believe there is a problem with subclasses of StyledTextCtrl. If 
you put your subclass in the wxRuby demo it still works fine, and I've 
used complex subclasses of STC in real code without difficulty.

So there is something else wrong in your program. Happy to try out a 
minimal runnable sample that demonstrates the issue - you may find that 
selectively removing elements from the frame may identify the source of 
the difficulty. My guess would be that some other widget (eg a Frame) or 
the App is being told to trap and not pass them on.

Damn ... it just had to be something really stupid. The "CTRL" in front 
of some shortcuts for the dynamically created menu items in the menubar 
was missing. I just removed them from the item generating method for now 
and viola, StyledTextCtrl works. Thanks for your help :-)

It looks like you need some additional libraries that wRuby depends on. 
Since Linux systems vary so widely, it's sometimes necessary to install 
some additional dependencies to get wxRuby to work.

The missing library is libGL.so and I think on Debian-type systems you 
need to install a package called something like "libgl1-mesa" to get 
this. Searching for "mesa" should turn it up.

Excuse my ignorance but does that mean that wxRuby depends on OpenGL?
Because if it does, I won't be able to use it since my libre system has no
support for OpenGL due to licensing issues (
http://www.fsf.org/news/thank-you-sgi).

I was hopping to run wxRuby apps like I do with wxPython :(

But I'll check if I'm able to install libgl1-mesa.

Thanks for your help, Alex.

wxRuby doesn't depend overall on OpenGL. It does include a GLCanvas 
widget, and this specific widget depends on the system's GL library. In 
the case of Ubuntu this is libmesa (http://www.mesa3d.org/), and from 
the link you posted it looks like after re-licensing, this is acceptable 
under a strict definition of 'free'/'libre'.

> I was hopping to run wxRuby apps like I do with wxPython :(

No reason you can't :). But if there isn't a system GL library available 
to you because of licensing, you will have to compile your own wxRuby 
without GL support. On Linux with a wxWidgets library installed, this is 
pretty simple - the only extra needed is SWIG. It should pick up that GL 
is not supported and not attempt to compile that - if not, you can force 
it to skip that widget by doing:

rake WXRUBY_EXCLUDED=GLCanvas

> But I'll check if I'm able to install libgl1-mesa.

I would definitely try this first. The precompiled gems for all 
platforms are built with a maximum set of features, and so in some cases 
(mostly on Linux) some additional libraries are needed. On Linux in 
particular, the binary builds are more of a convenience, rather than 
something we expect to be right for all users on every possible distro.

All,
 
I am new to WxRuby, and I am reading the online WxRuby Documentation for help.  I want to add a control to my application that can move text between two text controls on a window.  For example, let's say that I have a text/list control with 3 text strings in it, 'one', 'two', and 'three'.  I want to be able to highlight 'one', click a button, and have 'one' appear in another text/list control on the window, and the original window should only have 'two' and 'three' displayed in it now.  I can elaborate if this is not clear.  Thank you in advance for any help.

Exactly how to do this depends on the type of control you're copying 
from and to. Assuming you're using Wx::ListBox, which is nice and 
simple, something like (untested):

# assuming the_button is the Wx::Button
evt_button(the_button) do
  # get the selected text from the original window
  sel_text = list_1.string_selection
  # add it to the other window
  list_2.append (sel_text)
  # delete the selection in the old window
  list_1.delete( list_1.selection )
end

Thank you for your response, it was very helpful.  I have another question concerning this issue.  Once I have appended the selections from 'list1' to 'list2', is there some sort of 'getValue' method that will return the contents of the 'list2' list box, maybe into an array?  I have used the 'getValue' method to get the value of a combo box, but what is the method for a list box.  Thanks in advance for any help.

If you want every text item in the listbox:

listbox.map { | i | listbox.string(i) }

If you want the text for selected items only:

listbox.selections.map { | i | listbox.string(i) }

Sometimes it says "undefined symbol: rb_str_new_cstr" also. No idea.

Thanks. I didn't know we even had a ruby19-linux gem available? Anyway, 
I'll try compiling one for 1.9.9 and releasing as I'd be interested to 
get this working for 2.0

All,
 
It seems that Ruby has a problem with using variables in certain scenarios.  Previously, I was passing a parameter to a class named 'Test' with a function in it named 'go'.  This is the syntax that I used, Test.new.go('hello')  The function 'go' would open a .xls file with the parameter in the path, such as C:\hello\data.xls.  Everything was working fine then.  Now, instead of using the actual string 'hello' as the parameter, I am using an array element variable, so the syntax is Test.new.go(array[x]).  Now the 'go' function throws the ''File not found' error.  In the error message, both the path and file are correct, so I do not understand why the file cannot be found.  Does anyone have any idea about what could be going on?  Thanks in advance for any help. - Shelton

Just to let other people know, the package that contains libGL.so.1 in
gNewSense 2.1 is libgl1-mesa-swx11. But currently, this package won't
install libGL.so.1 because it got removed from the distribution when the GLX
licensing issues appeared.

I'll use wxRuby later, when OpenGL functionality returns to gNewSense.

Alex, thanks again for your help :)

Hi

I wasn't clear this was a question about wxRuby, or just a general Ruby 
question. If it's the latter, it's better directed to comp.lang.ruby 
newsgroup / ruby-talk mailing list.

Don't take this the wrong way - but if Ruby had a defect by which it 
randomly changed the value of variables under your nose, someone would 
probably have run into it before and reported it...

Hard to know what might be going on without sight of the code. There 
*must* be some difference between the literal string 'hello' and the 
array element.

Things to suspect are: the array index 'x' doesn't point to a valid 
member; the input value array[x] is not what you expect - perhaps it 
contains spaces or newlines or wrong-case characters so that it doesn't 
stand out as wrong; the 'go' method is altering the parameter in some 
unanticipated way.

I would recommend writing some tests for your class, so you can verify 
your assumptions about how that class works with different input. Give 
it both correct and incorrect input parameters, to check that it works 
in the first case and fails gracefully in the second. Writing tests can 
also help structure your code better; specifically to GUI code, it can 
help identify where too much application logic is being moved into the 
GUI layer. There are numerous testing frameworks for ruby; personally I 
find 'test/unit', included by default with Ruby, does everything I need, 
but you may wish to explore other options (eg rspec).

It doesn't tell me what platform it's for. I just see it in gem list  
and install it. Seems to mostly work in OS X 10.5.5, just has lots of  
warnings.

Subject: [wxruby-users] CalendarCtrl - Weekdays names - Month names
Message-ID: <1230535591.20241.6.camel@alpha.thinkmint>

Hi there!
I've been using wxRuby for some days, and already done some quite neat
apps, but (there is always a but) even though I thought WeekDays names
and month names where governed by the OS (and local localization), my
calendar shows up with english names.
I haven't been able to find a method or attr on the calendarctrl to
override this.
So, is it possible to use custom names (Mon-Tue-Wed-Thu-Fri-Sat-Sun) ->
(Lu-Ma-Mi-Ju-Vi-Sa-Do) as well as month names for use in foreign apps?
Best regards
Carlos Troncoso Phillips

My native locale is en_GB, but when I added this to the top of the 
calendar sample:

Wx::Locale.new(Wx::LANGUAGE_FRENCH)

the calendar control correctly displays the weekdays as "Lun Mar Mer 
Jeu..." and with the french month names. This is on OS X.

I had a look at the wxWidgets code that handles this, and it should be 
using the same locale-sensitive system calls as Ruby itself. Could you 
say a) what operating system you're using and b) whether a ruby call like

Time.now.strftime("%A")

returns the correct local name?

You could try adding a call like the above 
Wx::Locale.new(Wx::LANGUAGE_XXX) for the correct language to see if that 
sets what you want.
