[wxruby-users] wxruby, XRC, DialogBlock

[Mario Steele]

Hello Joshua,

May I inquire as to the reasoning behind needing to use DialogBlocks?  Is it
purely so that you can see instantly what is being created, or reusability,
etc, etc, etc?  I might recommend, till you get yourself comfortable with
wxRuby, that you try building frames, and user interfaces by hand, through
actual Ruby Code.  But if you absolutely need to have a User Interface
generated by DialogBlocks, and xrcise is not working for you.... Can you
explain what the problem is more specifically?

A lot of times, when building interfaces with XRC, you need to know what you
are doing, and how xrcise is going to translate that into Ruby code for you.

L8ers,
