Subject: [fxruby-users] Timer control
Message-ID: <352700.27736.qm@web30005.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Was wondering if anyone could via small piece of code show how a timer is envoked.

Sometimes (at least for me) a worked sample (with some documentation) is better than having something explained in words.

I would be grateful,

Dave

you need to give it a method:

aTimer = @topwin.addTimeout(1000, method(:hello))

lol, you are trying around pretty crazy things :) .. I'll give you a hint:
you better not try around so much and instead read the docs more precisely.

read this
http://www.fxruby.org/doc/events.html
here it is written pretty unmistakable how to do it. with working code!

Not as far as I know.

When you assign an icon image to a widget (usually a label or button),
FOX will honor any regions identified as fully transparent in the
image. For PNGs, it uses the alpha channel to identify regions where
alpha is zero; for other image types it can guess the transparent
color or you can specify it explicitly.

You aren't missing anything. All you can achieve with the table, short
of maybe subclassing it and overriding the drawing behavior, is set
alternating cell colors.

Message-ID: <57cf8f720911091443v2e451be1g2396b8695b723611@mail.gmail.com>

All,

FXRuby version 1.6.20 is now available for download.

This release is primarily a transitional one, intended to prove out
the significant changes to the development environment. Earlier this
year, the FXRuby source code repository was moved from Subversion
(hosted at RubyForge) to Git (hosted at GitHub). More recently, I've
revamped the build system, replacing some custom scripts with a more
standardized process based on the Hoe and rake-compiler extensions to
Rake. The intent of these changes is to make it easier for interested
parties to participate in FXRuby's development. As a result, despite a
good bit of code churn, there are (by design) no significant
functional differences between this release and version 1.6.19. For a
summary of the changes in this release of FXRuby, please see this
page:

http://www.fxruby.org/doc/changes.html

Enjoy,

Lyle

Message-ID: <f204810a0911111216s4ff9dfb6q3b0078bab4000610@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone

I'm afraid I posted here:
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/199028
..before seeing that that forum looks almost totally dead. Should one
of these forums not be shut down to save people some time and false
hopes?  :-)

So I'm going to repost here and reply there to close the topic, thus,
hopefully remaining a good netizen.

Here is my question:


I am trying to listen for the FXTopWindow events SEL_CLOSE,
SEL_MINIMIZE, SEL_MAXIMIZE, SEL_RESTORE because I want to execute some
code when a person presses the X button to close the window, etc.

None of my code gets executed though. Can anyone help?

class TextDialog
  def initialize(parent)
    construct_widget_tree(parent)
    init if respond_to? 'init'
  end

  def construct_widget_tree(parent)
    @topwin = FXMainWindow.new(parent, 'title')
    @topwin.width = 300
    @topwin.height = 200
  end

  attr_reader :topwin
end

if __FILE__==$0
  require 'fox16'
  include Fox

  app=FXApp.new
  w=TextDialog.new(app)

  w.topwin.connect(SEL_CLOSE) { app.exit }
  w.topwin.connect(SEL_MINIMIZE) { puts "MIN" }
  w.topwin.connect(SEL_MAXIMIZE) { puts "MAX" }
  w.topwin.connect(SEL_RESTORE) { puts "RESTORE" }

  w.topwin.show
  app.create
  app.run
end

As posted here:

http://old.nabble.com/programmatically-%22pushing%22-a-button-td14403676.html

It appears that when a user selects Maximize or Minimize it actually sends
SEL_CONFIGURE.

Hope that helps.

I agree with you, but it's not my forum to shut down. :) I don't have
the bandwidth to monitor the Internet for all of these little
discussion pockets. This mailing list has always been (and continues
to be) the place for FXRuby chatter.

Thanks. ;)

Per the message found by Joey Kinsella (elsewhere in this thread) it
sounds like the documentation for FXTopWindow needs to be corrected to
reflect the fact that you only get SEL_MINIMIZE, SEL_MAXIMIZE,
SEL_RESTORE and SEL_CLOSE when you call one of those FXTopWindow
methods (e.g. FXTopWindow#maximize); otherwise you just get
SEL_CONFIGURE. I'm not sure why the documentation wasn't corrected
when that problem was originally reported.

Leslie, could you please file a bug report on this on the new bug
tracker at Lighthouse?

Thanks,

Lyle

Andreas,

On your ruby-forum.com web site you include an "FXRuby" forum that is
described as "fxruby-users mailing list". I think this has probably
led to a lot of frustration for people who post questions there
(instead of on the real fxruby-users mailing list, hosted at
RubyForge), since I don't monitor your forum and thus don't see those
questions.

I don't want to tell you how to run your site, but I wonder if you
could you at least add some kind of disclaimer that points people to
the real mailing list, in case none of your forum readers are able to
help them?

Thanks in advance,

Lyle

Message-ID: <SNT115-W3702543E3323D69D5E81248CA70@phx.gbl>


Hi everybody,

I've got two questions mainly about fotos in FX Ruby.

I read the FX Ruby book and I'm using the "scale to thumbnail" method in my project.

Extract from the main code:

@logo="logo_small.jpeg"
logo_load=ImageViewer.new(self, at logo)


1. How can I position the foto in the window? If I create a bottom, f. ex., I have
   LAYOUT_EXPLICIT, :x => 50, :y => 200, :width => 200, :height => 200, but how can
   I select the x- and y-value for the foto? Any idea?

2. I would like to put this logo also into the title bar... is that possible?

some code:
class Main_Window < FXMainWindow
    def self.toggle(nr, *args)     
        @@switcher.setCurrent(nr)  
        @@window[nr].set_text(args[0].to_s)
      end
     
    def initialize(app)
        super(app, 'Title bar text', :width=>800, :height=>600)  # can I add a foto (logo) to the text in the title bar?
        init_frameset
      end
     
Thanks in advance for any response! Have a nice weekend
 Benjamin

Well, without any of the code for your ImageViewer class, I don't know
how to answer that question.

Yes, I think that's what the "miniIcon" argument is for in
FXMainWindow's constructor.

My report that I generate from this information will link the text area and time stamp together.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks in advance.

I don't think I understand what it is that you're unsure about. Are you
asking how to achieve this kind of layout? I think I would put each text
area/time stamp pair of widgets inside some container (e.g. an
FXHorizontalFrame). Or maybe I'd put all of the text area/time stamp pairs
in an FXMatrix container--actually, that sounds better. And you'll
presumably want to put that outermost container into a scrolling window.

Hi

Thanks for the information on SEL_CONFIGURE. It seems that that
message gets sent a few times during the window's lifecycle and there
seems to be no way to tell those times apart from the time when the
'x' button in the corner is clicked.

Or is there a way?

Are there any serious foxguib problems with newer fxruby versions?

I am not able to further support foxguib all alone, but I would accept and
review any patches ... ;)
Anyone feel free to clone foxguib on github: http://github.com/henon/foxguib

At present I have two text areas, one for data (input area) and one for the time stamp (date area) in two horizontal frames.
My questions are, how can I create the text field as an append-able area? For example, as a user I want to type things into the text area (input area) and I will also click buttons which will add some data to the input area also. At present when I click the buttons to add data it clears the text field (input area).
My second question is, how do I get the GUI to respond to new lines being entered into the text area (input area)? Each time a line is filled or the user hits the enter/return button I want the time to entered into the date area for the corresponding line in the input area for example
INPUT AREA ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? DATE AREAthis is my data, i am the user (USER HITS ENTER FOR NEW LINE) ? ? ? ? ? ? Date value
I hope this is a bit clearer, many thanks
Stuart

Are you sure you actually need to use a text area for the display portion?
Part of what you may be able to do is use an FXIconList, to create a
"preview", and a "timestamp" area. the user would be able to double click on
the FXIconList to see the full details past the "preview". In my experience
it is much easier to append data to a list like item, that it is to try and
re-draw widgets every time something happens. You could do something like
this:

+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
|  Item Preview                               | Timestamp             |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Here is some preview text                   | 2009-11-24 15:39:09   |
| Here is some more preview text that is re...| 2009-11-24 16:00:03   |
|                                                                     |
|                                                                     |
|                                                                     |
|                                                                     |
|                                                                     |
|                                                                     |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------

Enter data:
+---------------------------------------------+
| Text area to submit data                    |   [ Some other button ]
|                                             |   [ Another Button ]
|                                             |   [ Submit Button ]
+---------------------------------------------+

I don't fully understand all your needs, so forgive me if I am way off, but
from what I can gather something like this is what you are looking for, and
something like this would also be a lot easier to code than what I think you
are trying to code.

Thanks,
Joey

If it's the main window of your application, you might be able to just get
away with doing something after app.run is finished.

ie:

require 'fox16'
include Fox

a = FXApp.new
w = FXMainWindow.new(a, 'title', :width=>320, :height=>240)

a.create
w.show(PLACEMENT_SCREEN)
a.run

puts "My Cleanup code!"

Well, to append text to an FXText widget, you can use the FXText#appendText
method. If it's an FXTextField, you'd need to grab the current text field
content, add the new content to it, and then set it back to the FXTextField,
e.g.

    text_field.text = text_field.text + "some appended text"

My second question is, how do I get the GUI to respond to new lines being

I think the easiest way would be to listen for either the SEL_INSERTED or
SEL_CHANGED message from the FXText widget; see the API documentation for
more information:

    http://www.fxruby.org/doc/api/classes/Fox/FXText.html

Hope this helps,

Lyle
