I've run into problems running the 1.9.6. Windows gem on a machine other 
than the one I built it on. If you're getting errors like 'cannot load 
module...' please post them to the list - or also, if it is working for 
you, that would be useful to know.

I think it might be because this latest release has been built with MSVC 
8.0 and so depends on msvcp80.dll and msvcr80.dll, but I'm not sure.

A great advert for why the move to MingW will be a good thing!

thanks

Hey Alex,

Yeah, I've ran into the same problems, first it not finding MSVCP80.DLL and
MSVCR80.DLL, then when I grab them off of dll-files.com, to satisfy the
dependencies, and no matter if I put them in C:\Windows\System32 or
C:\Windows\WinSxS or whatever the other important directory, or even putting
them into the directory that ruby resides in, it comes up with the cannot
load module... problem.

Definitely one of the things I will not miss when we're fully MinGW.

Popup Dialog:
Runtime Error!

Program: J:\system\ruby_msvc\bin\ruby.exe

R6034
An application has made an attempt o load the C runtime library
incorrectly.  Please contact the application's support team for more
information.

In the console:

It might also be the fact that MSVC version is compiled with a different
version of MSVC (7.1)

As far as I know you need to compile extensions in Windows with the same 
compiler as Ruby is compiled with (which is most likely MSVC 6).
I ran into exactly the same problem when trying to compile and run Ripper.

We've got by so far compiling wxRuby2 windows releases with MSVC 7.1 
against the MSVC 6.0 one-click installer. I've personally been using 8.0 
for 18 months for debugging builds and it's worked fine with the 
standard OCI installer, but this is the first time I've tried to use it 
for a release.

The build works fine for me on the machine I used to compile it, but I'm 
currently on stuck knowing what extra things I need to ship or link to 
to enable the library to work elsewhere. Unfortunately the error message 
isn't at all helpful. I'll have a further look tomorrow, anyway.

thanks

Message-ID: <481ADD2A.5030003@pressure.to>

Hi

If you've installed the latest wxRuby 1.9.6 on Windows and are having 
trouble running applications, please try the following steps:

1) Ensure that you have msvcr80.dll and msvcp80.dll available on your 
system. If you haven't got them, they can be downloaded for free from 
http://www.dll-files.com/ and placed in your ruby/bin directory.

2) Copy a file called 
'lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby-1.9.6-x86-mswin32-60/wxruby.so.manifest' 
to your ruby/bin directory, and there, rename it 'ruby.exe.manifest'

On XP this will also ensure you get the nice XP-style widgets.

I'll try and put out a release soon that automates these steps.

alex

Also, if you use rubyw.exe, you need to repeat step 2, only naming it
rubyw.exe.manifest instead of ruby.exe.manifest

Hey I get the same thing... running 1.8.6 on Mac OS X 10.5.2. Got a gem 
of the latest wxSugar 0.1.20 but this still seems to be an issue in this 
version.

Anyone know?

Thx!

Well, if you create your table with the id set as an INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
then it will auto-increment for you.  You won't need to do it yourself.  All
you have to do is insert the data.  An example would be:

db.execute("INSERT INTO clients (name,address,phone,email,website)
VALUES(?,?,?,?,?);", at name.get_value(), at address.get_value(), at phone.get_value(), at email.get_value, at website.get_value())

@name, @address, @phone, @email and @website would be TextCtrl's that hold
the data that the user inputed.  Then to get them back, you simply do:
db.execute("SELECT * FROM clients;")  Which returns all rows in the table.
Or you can narrow down the entries, by doing db.execute("SELECT * FROM
clients WHERE name='Mario Steele';")  Which will return any matches where
the name column of the row has "Mario Steele"

If this is from the Form, you would need to do the following:
  self.get_parent.get_status_bar().set_status_text(message)

And when I mean, if this is from the Form, I mean, that evt_button() is
defind within the Form class, if it's defined within the MinimalFrame class,
then you just need self.get_status_bar().set_status_text(message)

Example of it being within the Form:

class Form < Panel
  def initialize()
    # creation of all your controls here
    evt_button(@add_user) do
      self.get_parent.get_status_bar().set_status_text("Contact created.")
    end
   end
end

Example of it being within the MinimalFrame

class MinimalFrame < Frame
  def initialize()
    @form = Form.new()
    evt_button(ID_ADD) do
      self.get_status_bar().set_status_text("Contact created.")
    end
  end
end


You may also want to consider stopping by the IRC Chat Room on
irc.freenode.net, as there are people there, willing to help as well as on
the mailing list.

I would suggest looking at this:
http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?ChatRoom

A lot of times, people are not watching the Chat Room, so it is hard for
some to realize this, and get discouraged.  Don't let it.  Someone will
eventually respond.  I am there with a couple of other people, so feel free
to stop by.

L8ers,

I don't know, to be honest. This is the list for programming wxWidgets 
in Ruby. comp.soft-sys.wxwindows would be a better place to ask.

You might be able to use Objective C with the WxCocoa port. But if you 
were only interested in targetting OS X + Cocoa I would say you're 
better off using the Apple developer tools (eg Interface Builder, XCode) 
directly rather than WxWidgets.

There is also Ruby-Cocoa which is a ruby-objective C bridge.

Subject: [wxruby-users] wxRuby 1.9.7 released
Message-ID: <482589B7.601@pressure.to>

Hi

wxRuby 1.9.7 is now available from rubyforge. This release is mainly to 
restore one-step gem installation for Windows users, so they can easily 
benefit from the many enhancements and fixes that were included in 
1.9.6. The gem will now install Microsoft's VC version 8.0 dlls. As 
usual 'gem install wxruby' should get you the latest version.

For users on Linux and OS X, there are only minimal changes. The 
ChangeLog for this version is:

- Restored Grid#set_col_label_text_orientation method (AF)
- Fixed linking to wx_media with different wx build flavours on OS X (AF)
- Fixed misnaming of Wx::NULL_ANIMATION constant (AF)
- Added bundling of MSVC80 dlls for windows gem (AF)
- Added a drag and drop / clipboard sample (AF)

hey all,

thanks to alex who help me to get the latest running on my box ( Mac OS X
10.4.11)

to get it working download the latest gem locally cd to the directory where
it lies and :
$ sudo gem install --local wxruby

u'll get :
Successfully installed wxruby-1.9.7-universal-darwin-9
1 gem installed

;-)

A question, my first test will be to convert a RubyCocoa project into
wxRuby.

this project convert the AddressBook contents into html
( a preview : <http://thoraval.yvon.free.fr/AB2Html_preview/ab2html.xhtml>

what do I need ?

a push button, a spinner and a text area to give feedback to the user that'
all ;-)

( a screenshot : <http://cjoint.com/data/fkqRia4sT5.htm>


what is the best example to start with in such a context ?

is it possible to use the AddressBook framework from wxRuby ?

in that case i'll only the UI to rewrite...

best,

Glad we figured it out. Something that other users may want to be aware 
of is that Rubygems seems not to be offering the latest gems to OS X 
10.4 users.

Out of interest, may I ask why you're looking to make this switch?

The classes you want will be Wx::Button, Wx::AnimationCtrl, and 
Wx::StaticText or Wx::TextCtrl. You may want to place them all on a 
Wx::Panel.

For a sample to use as a starting point, you could look at 
text/textctrl.rb which organises a few widgets using sizers and links up 
a button event. Sizers are the best way to lay out widgets; there is a 
reasonably detailed discussion of how to use them in the documentation 
for Wx::Sizer.

> is it possible to use the AddressBook framework from wxRuby ?

You should be able to use RubyCocoa to access that framework without 
problems inside wxRuby. It's not something I know much about though.

> in that case i'll only the UI to rewrite...

Yep, well hopefully if your existing code has the UI and export code 
reasonably separate it shouldn't be a tricky job.

good luck and feel free to ask for help on this list

i know that part, i've done ruby script to extend some of this framework
classes (ABGroup, ABPerson and ABAddressBook.sharedAddressBook class
instance)

 in that case i'll only the UI to rewrite...

my export code is as simple as :
       @address_book.to_xml

(each classe has it's own #to_xml method...)
the remaining code is devoted to save files at the right place (under
~/Sites)

If you need to use ruby threads in your application, also look at the 
threaded.rb sample. Threads work OK with wxRuby, but you need to make 
sure that the background non-GUI tasks are allocated some time, and try 
to avoid calling GUI code outside the main thread. There are numerous 
threads about threads on the mailing list.

Under WinXP SP2 with ruby 1.8.6 I used

gem update wxruby

and gem told it was installed.
But immediately afterwards gem stopped working!
In fact every program connected to ruby does no longer work!

C:\>gem list
Das angegebene Programm kann nicht ausgef?hrt werden.

C:\>ruby --version
Das angegebene Programm kann nicht ausgef?hrt werden.

C:\>irb
Das angegebene Programm kann nicht ausgef?hrt werden.

Translation: This program can not be executed.

Any idea why and what I can do to restore my ruby?

aargh. to restore your ruby, go to the "bin" folder where the ruby 
executable is, and delete "ruby.exe.manifest" and "rubyw.exe.manifest".

Are you using the one-click installer ruby?

It worked. After deleting the two files ruby, rubygems and irb started 
working again.

But, I'm sorry to report, wxruby does not.
When I start any sample, I get the following error message:

=====
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Programme\ruby\bin\ruby.exe
R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library 
incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more 
information.
=====

> Are you using the one-click installer ruby?

Yes. 
I installed with One-Click Ruby Installer 186-26 Final Release:
C:\>ruby --version 
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]

Maybe it would be better to retract the gem before you get flooded with 
complaints.

Hope this helps
Dirk

That's the error I'd expect to see. The manifests fix that on two 
systems I've tried it on, and others have confirmed it. But clearly not 
working for you, and I've no idea why.

I have done. I was uncomfortable anyway with having the gem installer 
adjust global ruby settings, but it would have been worth it if it 
worked reliably.

Sorry for the trouble anyway. I'm SO fed up with this situation. We put 
months of work into improving the library, then can't share those 
improvements with the majority of Windows users.

Following alex advices, i've used both "text/textctrl.rb" and
"etc/threaded.rb" to build my first wxApp.
I've changed the Sizer type mainly (from "Wx::BoxSizer" to
"Wx::FlexGridSizer").
I didn't find the way to let @log (Wx::TextCtrl) span 2 columns. At the time
of writing it's growing only vertically.
And also how to get 16px filler|spacer|border (for window resizer,
bottom-right corner, on Mac OS X) for SOUTH and EAST and 5/16 px for NORTH
and WEST

    @log = LogTextCtrl.new(panel) # (LogTextCtrl < Wx::TextCtrl)
    sizer.add(@log, 1, Wx::GROW|Wx::ALL, 2)

I haven't got access to this at home, but I did get wxruby 1.9.6 working on
windows XP, by following the instructions about installing the dll's and
moving the manifests given under the 'FIX for wxruby-1.9.6 on Windows'
thread on this mailing list. I didn't do much beyond check whether it
worked, though.

I have found installing on Linux is not universally successful.  I run into
the 'GLIBC_2.4 not found' error when installing 1.9.7 on a Debian system (I
particularly want to use this on my Asus Eee).  A bit of searching on the
internet doesn't show any quick solution.  Is this something that could be
fixed in the distributed gem?  I may try compiling wxruby myself when I get
a chance.

Then again, it seems to work very well on Ubuntu 8.  I do get occasional
crashes or freezes, which are perhaps more due to my ignorance.  I shall
post an example in a separate thread.

Peter.

Subject: [wxruby-users] instabilities in wxRuby 1.9.6
Message-ID: <7b071a2e0805110540o29281e83q3f2394394c3f964f@mail.gmail.com>

I have recently started to use wxRuby, because I have used the wxWidgets
library from C++ for a few years and found it an excellent toolkit.  I am
using Ubuntu 8.04 and version 1.9.6 of wxRuby.

A problem though is a number of instabilities.  This may be due to my own
ignorance, but I have usually found C++/wxWidgets, once the program compiles
it will at least stay working, if at times incorrectly.  With wxRuby, the
program sometimes just crashes out, or the event handler appears to freeze.


The code below reproduces one problem.  After opening one or two child
frames and then closing one of them, the program soon fails.  I find that
the frames stop receiving events, don't redraw themselves when covered,
etc.  Sometimes this happens very quickly, sometimes after a minute or so.
Is this a bug, or should I be doing something different to show/hide child
frames?

Thanks for any help with this.

   Peter.

class ChildFrame < Wx::Frame
  def initialize parent
    super(parent, -1, "Child frame")

    viewMenu = Wx::Menu.new
    viewMenu.append(Wx::ID_CLOSE, "Close\tCtrl-W", "Close this window")
    evt_menu(Wx::ID_CLOSE) { show false }

    menuBar = Wx::MenuBar.new
    menuBar.append(viewMenu, "&View")
    set_menu_bar menuBar
  end
end

class TestFrame < Wx::Frame
  def initialize
    super(nil, -1, "Test Frame")

    menu = Wx::Menu.new
    menuItem = Wx::MenuItem.new(menu, -1, "Show child")
    menu.append_item menuItem
    evt_menu(menuItem) { ChildFrame.new(self).show }

    menuBar = Wx::MenuBar.new
    menuBar.append(menu, "&View")
    set_menu_bar menuBar
  end
end

class TestApp < Wx::App
  def on_init
    TestFrame.new.show
  end
end

TestApp.new.main_loop

Hello Yvon,

In this example, my suggestion would be to throw away FlexGridSizer, and
actually use a couple of BoxSizers to get your desired effect.  Here's how I
would do it:

vsizer = Wx::BoxSizer.new(Wx::VERTICAL)
hsizer = Wx::BoxSizer.new(Wx::HORIZONTAL)

# .. create your controls .. #
hsizer.add(@button,0,Wx::ADJUST_MINSIZE|Wx::ALL,2)
hsizer.add(@guage,1,Wx::GROW|Wx::ALL,2)
vsizer.add(hsizer,0,Wx::EXPAND|Wx::ALL,2)
vsizer.add(@log,1,Wx::GROW|Wx::ALL,2)
self.set_sizer(vsizer)

This will create the desired effect that you want, hope this helps.

L8ers,

Yeah, ditto what Mario suggested. I think 95% of the time it is easier 
and more manageable to nest BoxSizers within one another to get complex 
layouts than it is to use FlexGrid or GridBag. Sizers take few resources 
so that's not a problem. I've written quite a lot of wxRuby code and I 
don't think I've ever used anything but BoxSizer/StaticBoxSizer and the 
occasional specialist sizer like Grid or StdDialogButtonSizer.

Aside from the documentation, a good way to get a feel for the way sizer 
options work together is to look at the "wxSizer.rbw" demo inside 
"bigdemo", or to use a GUI designer like DialogBlocks where you can see 
the effect of switching on and off individual options immediately.

Hello Peter,

Unfortunatly, the truth of the matter is, that this is a miss or hit problem
we've been having lately with wxRuby, and the Ruby 1.8.6 p114.  We're
restricting the versioning to 114, due to the fact that any later version
(The Pre 1.8.7), totally messes up the internal works all together.  We got
a nice suprise from the p114, which is part of the reason why we are getting
instabilities.  But truely, it's more of a gotcha on our part, that we
should have programmed it differently then what we did.

More then likely, if your getting freezes on your app, it segfaulted, but
has no console in which to report what is going on.  You have to realize,
that even though you've worked with wxWidgets and C++ in the past, we're
using 3 different libraries to bring wxRuby together.

1.) wxWidgets ofcourse.
2.) SWIG, which gives us our Glue between Ruby and wxWidgets.
3.) Ruby's core libraries.

At any point, any one of these libs can and more likely will fail, when we
do major revisions to the backend, giving us all kinds of bugs to track
down.  Often times then not, we end up releasing libraries that are bugged
beyond what we can test for, and have to rely on users to find some bugs for
us, and create examples for us to find the bugs, and pound out the bugs from
the examples.

Unfortunatly, due to the change in the Garbage Collection system since
Patchlevel 114, they have dis-allowed creation of Objects while in a Garbage
Collection Mark/Sweep, which was giving us our biggest headache.  Ovious
reasons make it smart to not be creating objects while running a GC mark
loop, but in our case, we was simply creating a block to iterate over our
internal hash of all created wxRuby Objects.  So we pretty much had to
re-write it to use pure C Ruby Library functions, instead of relying on
rb_iterate, like was doing before.  This is where our "faults" are coming
from mostly.

As you can see with the Windows MSVC version of wxRuby, we're having major
problems in that area.  Which is why among the others here, I'll be glad to
be rid of MSVC all together, but alas, we will still be making MSVC versions
as long as people still use the MSVC version of Ruby.  On the other hand,
I'll be working the MinGW version into working, which it has been doing
flawlessly (Aside from the bugs ofcourse), without all these problems of
needing to create manifests, and installing runtime dlls for several
different compiler environments. (5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0 20201.0 (I kid
there))

Alright, back to work on getting things stable with wxRuby!

[Hello, how is what I am doing to install wxruby1.9.7?
I can not install it from rubygems.
I download "wxruby-1.9.7.tar.gz" and after that must be done?]

Bonjour S?bastien,

Actuellement, nous ?prouvons des probl?mes avec 1.9.6 et 1.9.7 de wxRuby, et
ont rentr? les binaires pour Windows pierres pr?cieuses, jusqu'? ce que nous
pouvons comprendre ce qu'il faut faire, pour que cela fonctionne, une fois
de plus droit.

S'il vous pla?t garder avec nous, que nous travaillons choses, et vous
remercions par avance pour votre patience.


[Hello Sebastien,

Currently we are having problems with 1.9.6 and 1.9.7 of wxRuby, and have
retracted the binary gems for Windows, till we can figure out what to do, to
get things working right once more.

Please bear with us, as we work things out, and thank you in advance for
your patience.]

hey mario,

thanks for the tips !
i'll try that asap...

in fact i've added another FlexGridSizer with something like 9 spacers...
this is too much
i was not so far of the desired result :
<http://cjoint.com/data/fltHDvhhzl.htm>

except the Wx::Gauge which is not aligned verticaly to the Wx::Button on
it's left, i've tried :
    @gauge = Wx::Gauge.new(panel, :range => STEPS)
    #sizer_top.add(@gauge, 0, Wx::GROW|Wx::ALL, 2)
    #sizer_top.add(@gauge, 0, Wx::GROW|Wx::ALL|Wx::ALIGN_BOTTOM, 2)
    sizer_top.add(@gauge, 0, Wx::GROW|Wx::ALL|Wx::ALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL, 2)

without visible effect.

ok, i'll follow mario's advices and look further to "wxSizer.rbw", my idae
of using two Wx::FlexGridSizer with a lot of spacers isn't the right
solution.

Subject: [wxruby-users] NotebookSizer? / Resizing a listbook
Message-ID: <5b1992782beb43d40c4d87fce3df07c5@ruby-forum.com>

There seems to be a NotebookSizer in C++ wxWidgets, is it in wxRuby or
is it going to be? Not a lot of info to be found about that one.

I've been trying to apply sizers to a Listbook but nothing goes at it
should be. Nothing is visible until I resize the top frame a little and
in best case I can get either horizontal grow but not simultaneous
vertical grow.

Would anyone mind showing me how am I supposed to use sizers so that the
listbook resizes and the panels in a listbook too?

Thanks.

I wrote two small examples. Take a look. I'm in a bit of a hurry so I 
couldn't get the simple_notebook.rb example to work 100% properly but I 
think the example shows a solution to your problem :-)

Something alot of people might actually have trouble with is the 
arguments to <some_sizer>.add( ). It's really not that difficult a 
concept to grasp but difficult to explain. I'm currently writing a 
wxRuby tutorial and I'm kind of blocked on the subject. Basically most 
of the layout stuff that you want to do is pretty easy using BoxSizer only.

When nesting sizers it is easy to forget when adding sizers to one 
another to specify the needed proportions and GROW flags.

Hope this helps.

I'm pleased to announce a new project: Reactive

What is that? It's a desktop application framework that is highly
inspired by Rails.
Thus it is MVC oriented and has built-in features like scaffolds.

It currenty uses wx as it's view system.

The current release is pre-alpha, but you may already play with it.
Refer to

I think I replied to you already about this by email. This method was 
undocumented in Wx, and was deleted in 1.9.6 as part of a clean up of 
the headers. However it's been restored in 1.9.7 and works for me on OS X.

Thanks for the report. I can reproduce it and have filed this on the bug 
tracker:
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=218&aid=20255&group_id=35

I'm not yet sure where the problems lies, between SWIG, wxRuby and Ruby 
itself. I think some recent "stable" ruby developments have created 
problems for SWIG-generated code, or it could also be something I've 
accidentally introduced in 1.9.6. If it's convenient, perhaps could you 
try with wxRuby 1.9.5 or .4

and this is the url of a catch that I made my application from my pc:
http://beusse.liveror.com/images/Rss-wxruby1.bmp
I do not have this problem on my pc, I do not have all these squares that
stand out.
Why is there this problem knowing that I have a friend who also has this
problem on his pc with Rss-wxruby.
Apparently, the squares are the returns to the line.
thank you.

Bonjour S?bastien,

Avez-vous essay? d'utiliser la fen?tre # set_background_colour
(SystemSettings.get_colour (SYS_BACKGROUND_COLOUR)) pour voir si cela peut
r?gler la bonne couleur pour le fond de la fen?tre elle-m?me?
Habituellement, c'est la cause parfois que les fen?tres ne sont pas la bonne
couleur d'arri?re-plan.

[Hello Sebastien,

Have you tried using
Window#set_background_colour(SystemSettings.get_colour(SYS_BACKGROUND_COLOUR))
to see if that will set the proper colour for the background of the window
itself? Ususally, this is the cause as sometimes the windows do not get the
proper background colour set.]

Bonjour S?bastien,

Je ne m'excuse, je pensais que vous faisaient allusion au bords noirs 
autour de tous les quatre contr?les que vous avez dans la fen?tre 
principale.

En ce qui concerne cette case, la seule chose que je pouvais penser, 
c'est qu'il mai ?tre un non-caract?re imprimable. En g?n?ral, Windows a 
tendance ? imprimer non-caract?res imprimables interface graphique sous 
Windows, avec un [] bo?te caract?re. Mai Vous voulez v?rifier et 
assurez-vous que vous n'avez pas un caract?re de retour (10) ou d'une 
ligne (13) dans la cha?ne que vous utilisez pour fixer l'?tiquette de 
l'arbre Point.

La meilleure fa?on de le faire, est d'utiliser String bande # (), qui 
supprime tous les caract?res retour / saut de ligne, ainsi que d'espaces 
? la fin de la cha?ne. Vous mai ?galement besoin de v?rifier l'onglet 
caract?res (9). Ce ne sont l? que quelques suggestions. ? peu pr?s, 
toute non-reconnu caract?re qui peut ?tre imprim? sur une interface GUI, 
sera repr?sent? par le [] caract?re.

Bonne chance,

[Hello Sebastien,

I do apologize, I thought you were referring to the black borders around 
all the the four controls you have in the main window.

As to that box, the only thing that I could think of, is that it may be 
a non-printable character.  In general, Windows tends to print 
not-printable characters in Windows GUI, with a [] box character.  You 
may want to check and make sure you don't have a Character Return (10) 
or a Line Feed (13) in the string that you use to set the label for the 
Tree Item.

The easiest way to do this, is to use String#strip(), which removes any 
Character Returns / Line Feeds, as well as any spaces at the end of the 
string.  You may also need to check for Tab characters (9).  These are 
just a few suggestions.  Pretty much, any non-recognized character that 
can be properly printed on a GUI Interface, will be represented with the 
[] character.

Good luck,]

Hi there,

I am relative new to the wxRuby so please bear with me.

I use Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 release. I have installed the wxwidgets C
libraries
and then did a

gem install wxruby

The ruby extensions were downloaded and installed correctly. If i do

$gem list --local
..
wxruby (1.9.7)
..

Then I tried to run a simple example "Hello World" as described in the
tutorial

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

The frame is displayed correctly, but when i close the window  i get:

$ruby testwxruby.rb
testwxruby.rb:10: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24) [i486-linux]

Aborted

I tried to run another example mainly
http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Using_Dialogs_To_Talk_To_Users

Although the apps starts and works ok, when i close it i get the same
message "Segmentation Fault"

Is this a known issue?

(The wxwidgets library installed in the system as seen by synaptic is
2.8.7.1-0-ubuntu3)

and
$ gem --version
1.1.1

(The rubygem was installed manually and not using the default that
ubuntu comes which is 0.9.4-4)

Thanks in advace,
Christos

i forgot to mention the version of ruby

$ruby --version
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i486-linux]

This is the default that Ubuntu Hardy comes with.

I get this as well with every wxruby program I run. I wrote an
email/topic about it a month or so back. I have a feeling it is to do
with the ruby patchlevel 111. Right now I'mjust living with it and
hoping it gets fixed.
Woe is me. :(

Could you explain a bit more about what you want. I read the wxWidgets 
documentation for this method but I don't know what a "Windows message" 
is, or how you get one in Windows. We can't wrap the method if we don't 
know what argument type it should take in Ruby.

Hi alex,

Our problem consist in communicate with an external device which connect 
through the ethernet port. we need to receive the messages sent by it so 
we can handle.

(those messages are events like keydown, keyup, mouse movement and etc.)

hope u can give me any direction.

gabriel
