Subject: [wxruby-users] problem with the size of notebook pages
Message-ID: <4cd9d8ac22412919ba4e664c888560e5@ruby-forum.com>

Hi here,

I have to make a school project in wxRuby and since 1-2 weeks, i am
completely blocked because of a notebook display problem.

I don't manage to adapt the size of notebook pages with the content. The
size is completely fixed, and so what is inside is cut. And when I try
to modify the size, it changes nothing :( Here a part of my notebook
class :


  def initialize(parent)
    super(parent, -1, Wx::DEFAULT_POSITION)
  end

  def create_contact_page()
          @contacts = Wx::Panel.new(self, :size => [-1, 500])
                # the size parameter changes nothing

                @contacts_box = Wx::BoxSizer.new(Wx::VERTICAL)

    @label_contact_list = Wx::StaticText.new(@contacts, :label =>
"Contact list :")
    @contacts_box.add(@label_contact_list, 1, Wx::ALL, 15)

    @contacts.set_sizer(@contacts_box)

    self.add_page(@contacts, "My contacts")
  end


I've linked the result in attachment.

Thank you for your help !

Thank you Hendra, I tried your code and I had the same problem. So I 
understood that it was not the notebook that was bugging, but something 
else. Finally, the problem is where I add the notebook to my main 
boxsizer.
I forgot to put the proportion parameter to 1 !! It was at 0 so it took 
the smallest possible place...

Hi Hendra

The best way is to use Validators. There's a pre-built one for 
controlling numerics:

Wx::TextCtrl.new(parent,
  :validator => Wx::TextValidator.new(Wx::FILTER_NUMERIC) )

cheers

I tried filter_numeric before
and found out if it only filter input, not realy confirm if the number
correct
I try to workaround a bit using key_update event
and filter some more key like + - , . e
well, it works well, the trick is to use* change_value*, not *set_value*
somehow, when I try to add humanizing number function, I got stuck
(humanizing = 10000 -> 10,000)
because I cannot move my cursor / insert point to the last of textctrl
and *set_insertion_point_end* does not seem to work
is there a way to fix this?

I can't speak for others, but we have two Macs at our house running 10.5 
(and will likely move to 10.6 on one of those this month).

Subject: [wxruby-users] how to display ListCtrl_virtual using xrcise
Message-ID: <ff8ed4ceb705e3024abac13552d31e55@ruby-forum.com>

Hi,

I'm trying to display text in a ListCtrl_virtual using xrcise.
To display text, I implemented on_get_item_text() method in TestListCtrl
module.
However, no text displayed in my list.
I'd appreciate it if you could teach me how to display text.

My environment:
> ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [i386-mswin32]
> gem list
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
wx_sugar (0.1.22)
wxruby (2.0.1)

Here is my sample code:
- testlistctrl.xrc
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<resource xmlns="http://www.wxwindows.org/wxxrc" version="2.3.0.1">
        <object class="wxFrame" name="TestFrame"
subclass="TestFrameBase">
                <style>wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE|wxTAB_TRAVERSAL</style>
                <size>500,300</size>
                <title></title>
                <object class="wxListCtrl" name="m_listCtrl3"
subclass="TestListCtrl">
                        <style>wxLC_REPORT|wxLC_VIRTUAL</style>
                </object>
        </object>
</resource>

- testlistctrlbase.rb (xrcise output)
class TestFrameBase < Wx::Frame

        attr_reader :m_listctrl3

        def initialize(parent = nil)
                super()
                xml = Wx::XmlResource.get
                xml.flags = 2 # Wx::XRC_NO_SUBCLASSING
                xml.init_all_handlers
                xml.load("testlistctrl.xrc")
                xml.load_frame_subclass(self, parent, "TestFrame")

                finder = lambda do | x |
                        int_id = Wx::xrcid(x)

Message-ID: <r2k26dadb3d1004192125y16a56fe9waa036c60c16feab4@mail.gmail.com>

Dear All,

I want my app to save it's window position
so next time I run it, the window will place at the last position
But I cannot use close event to save position
since it is a tray application

I plan to use on move window
but cannot seem to find any documentation about it

Any suggestion?

It's easy to save the position of your window.  And technically, you can use
the onClose event, even with it being a Tray App.

The method in which this works, is that you would need to return false from
your window to prevent the window from being destroyed.

An example of this:

class MyWin < Wx::Frame
  def initialize()
    super(nil,-1,"Sample Hide, not close")
    evt_close(self,:on_close)
  end

  def on_close(event)
    @pos = self.position
    self.hide
    return false
  end
end

HTH,

Mario

I already know how to save the position
but the reason for me not to use on_close event is
because I am making a simple and personal desktop calendar
with todo and event reminder
and I am not likely to close it before I shutdown my computer
therefore I need another event to save it

what comes in my mind is an event when a window is moved
but I cannot seem to find it
any other idea?

Maybe Wx::ActivateEvent - http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/doc/activateevent.html

You could use the evt_activate_app to detect when the whole application 
loses focus, and serialise the window state then. I have not tried this 
with tray-based apps, but there is a sample in etc/ that you could have 
a look at and try easily.

I can't test this right now, but looking over your code, a couple of 
things to try:

- don't use on_init to do start up - just call the superclass 
constructor then carry on.

- you may need to do set_column_width to set out the columns

Is there a way to make window shows on desktop always on bottom
and never be minimized even when we click show desktop icon?

Good, I'm glad it works. I was cautious about suggesting MoveEvent 
because it occurs frequently when a Frame is, say, being dragged about 
by its title bar. So it's not desirable to do lengthy operations (e.g. 
write to a File) each time it occurs.

Subject: [wxruby-users] Icon questions
Message-ID: <f698c5a612f0b5b3b1e14163b627896a@ruby-forum.com>

I'm working on my first wxRuby project.

Because the example files are on a different drive, I copied the
wxruby.png icon file to the same directory as my ruby program.

The titlebar icon and Taskbar icon (I'm on a WinXP machine) showed up
fine.

When I substitute an alternate 32x32 .png image, it doesn't:


    # Give the frame an icon. Try an alternate to the default wxruby
icon
    icon_file = File.join( File.dirname(__FILE__)+"/", "slate.png")
#    icon_file = File.join( File.dirname(__FILE__)+"/", "wxruby.png")
    self.icon = Wx::Icon.new(icon_file)

When I open wxruby.png in Photoshop Elements, it seems a normal 32x32
png file with transparency. If I save slate.png in the .ico format,
WinXP does use it, but seems to shrink it to 24x24 or maybe 16x16 or
something smaller in both the toolbar and Taskbar, but shows a very
clear and crisp image in the Task Switcher (alt-Tab), which is clearly
larger than the toolbar icon. (In other words, it looks like the Task
Switcher is using it at 32x32.)

I know that icons in various sizes are needed, and the art folder in the
examples has the wxRuby image in 64x64, 128x128 and 256x256 sizes in
addition to the 32x32 .png. I've also read somewhere that WinXP expects
a 16x16 for the toolbar.

When people say "use .png for the icon" so that it can be used
cross-platform, there seems to be another layer of information I'm
missing. Where can I find out more about what wxRuby or wxWidgets
expects?

Thanks,

	questions
Message-ID: <628094d70efa94761b03f7924b3ab7b5@ruby-forum.com>

I'm just beginning to learn wxRuby. I'm working on a WinXP sp3 machine,
and I expect to test Linux using VirtualBox and Ubuntu and to test Mac
OS X 10.5 on my wife's Mac mini.

On her Mac, I got Ruby 1.9.1p376 installed following Dan Benjamin's
instructions at http://hivelogic.com/articles/ruby-rails-leopard

(Yes, "which ruby" yields /usr/local/bin/ruby and "ruby -v" results in
ruby 1.9.1p376 (2009-12-07 rev 26041) [i386_darwin9.8.0] )

I then followed his instructions for installing RubyGems. And then
installed the wxRuby gem.

My simple program creating 4 tall, colored buttons (I've put a zip of
this at
http://sites.google.com/site/thecalculatorproject/projects/adding-machines/machine-that-adds-1s-2s---code-listing
if you want to see it) worked exactly as expected on WinXP. I'm
attaching a screen capture showing what it looks like on Windows.

On OS X, the program runs performs the few simple actions I built in,
but it has almost none of the button colors and sizes spec'd. (Sorry I
don't have a capture of the result.)

Since this is my first trial, I haven't really thought through the best
way to represent a design that Windows, MacOS and Linux can all
represent unambiguously. So if you look at my code and think, "Wow,
that's not the way to do this!" I won't be surprised.

However, I'm not really sure I have got wxRuby installed properly on the
Mac. Do I need to install wxWidgets independently? (I did install
wxWidgets separately on WinXP.)

Since I have only sporadic access to this Mac, I haven't yet tried
running the example files and comparing the results with what I see on
Windows (haven't gotten to Ubuntu yet either).

Any thoughts on this process so far? Any obvious missteps I ought to
correct? Any guidance on how to confirm I have got everything needed for
things to run properly?

Thanks,

Roger Sperberg

If you've done this, and ruby -rubygems <program.rb> runs a wxruby 
script, then you've almost certainly installed wxRuby and ruby correctly.

I haven't looked at your code, just at the screenshot. A few comments 
about the approach wxRuby takes, inheriting from wxWidgets might be 
helpful: in general, it allows the application designer to describe what 
each interactive element (eg button) should be doing, and where they 
should be - in relation to one another. wxRuby/Widgets takes this 
expression of intention and uses each OS's native GUI toolkit to 
represent it visually on the screen. On Mac, push buttons are always 
that apple-y grey; frame close/min/max buttons are always on the top 
left and are red/yellow/green. That's what the Apple UI guidelines say; 
that's what Apple's UI toolkit allows. It happens that Windows is more 
permissive/incoherent, depending on your view, so the button styles 
you've set actually apply.

It really depends what kind of interactive app you're trying to create. 
wxRuby is a way of creating apps that will look "right", function 
"right" and interact with the wider desktop in the "right" way on 
different platforms. They seek to build on users' existing experience of 
how GUI appliccations work to provide ease of use. Though it is very 
flexible and customisable, it's less well suited to apps which seek to 
create a very specific visual feel (down to exact pixels and button 
shapes). There are important times for such apps - but eg Flash is a 
more tailored environment for building them.

Absolutely. My comments aren't a complaint about wxWidgets.

In fact, what I am trying to do in this simple program is reduce a 
calculator to its bare essentials: two number keys (to simplify 
troubleshooting ? first number added or second?), plus and equals; while 
still resembling the calculator that will be the final version.

In earlier versions I've made, I used bitmap images for the keys. 
However,  using standard buttons seemed simpler as an overall process to 
explain (and, of course, coloring them and changing their shape to make 
them more calculator-like so the kids following my steps wouldn't get 
discouraged from the first pass through the problem).

Obviously if OS X interprets the appearance instructions this 
differently for the standard button widget, I'd better rethink the 
"example reduced to its simplest parts." For the complete calculator, I 
expect to use Wx::BitmapButton and want only for the general look to be 
the same, not identical results on different platforms.

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post.

I was thinking that screen captures would benefit many of the

And as I work my way through different portions of the API, I'm willing
to make some of those captures.

Who is the best person to contact about this?

In the documentation, though it's nowhere that someone new and asking 
the very sensible questions that you ask would find it. The same 
question puzzled me for a long time using wxWidgets, until I pretty much 
stumbled on (part of) the answer.

Frame inherits it #set_icon (or #icon=) method from Wx::TopLevelWindow. 
TLW also has a method #set_icons/#icons= which accepts an object of 
class Wx::IconBundle. IB can contain multiple icons at different sizes, 
for use in different places.

http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/doc/toplevelwindow.html#TopLevelWindow_seticons

The next question you might have on icons, since you're trying out on OS 
X, is why set_icon(s) doesn't affect an app's Dock icon. This is because 
wxWidget's treats the OS X Dock as analogous to the system tray on 
Windows, so you use Wx::TaskBarIcon instead. Under Apple's interface 
guideliens, the area next to the clock is reserved for system apps - not 
user apps.

So the answer to your question is "in several different places". This ml 
is happy to help, and I've learnt a vast amount from responses to 
wxPython and wxWidgets questions. A search term with class and method 
names according to C++ / Python conventions can be fruitful, eg:

http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=wxframe+SetIcon+different+sizes

... and thanks for your willingness to help. It's so good that it's 
already being done for wxWidgets; see, for example:

http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classwx_button.html

The current wxRuby API documentation is stored in Textile, in 
docs/textile in the distribution. This is being maintained for 2.0 but 
not really developed - patches for text mistakes are welcome on this 
list, or (preferably) wxruby-development or the patch tool on Rubyforge 
- a maintainer will pick them up.

But I don't think this will help with images - the best way might either 
be to participate in the wider wxWidgets effort (hopefully, wxRuby will 
integrate the new upstream docs), or to make some wiki pages on 
wxruby.rubyforge.org.

thanks again

Yes, Wx::BitmapButton is the way to go, I think. The fact that all 
Windows (widgets) have a colour= method is a bit deceptive, as it 
implies that it'll be honoured. As you've found OS X standard UI buttons 
(and lots of others) don't have any concept of a "colour", or indeed of 
a "size" (other than "Normal", "Small" and "Mini" scale - which are 
accessed differently)

You know the lay of the land, and so I'm not disputing you. But couldn't 
any screen capture be uploaded to, say, wxruby.rubyforge.org/img/ and 
referenced in the existing documentation as well as contributed to any 
upstream effort?

Because even if the documentation is not being developed, it's all that 
users new to wxRuby such as myself have to rely on now.

And while I'm not knowledgeable about wxRuby, even I can open a Textile 
document, insert a URI sandwiched between exclamation points, and check 
the document back into SVN without bringing the server down. :-)

But I'll add some pages to the wiki about the example files as I work 
through them and try out their essential features in my own beginning 
apps.

Hi Alex,

Thank you very much for your reply.
I applied your two suggestions to my program.
However the result was the same.

Here is my modified sample code:
#!/usr/bin/ruby

require 'rubygems'
require 'wx'

require 'testlistctrlbase.rb'

module TestListCtrl
  def set_list_ctrl
    insert_column(0, 'first')
    insert_column(1, 'second')

    self.set_column_width(0, 250)
    self.set_column_width(1, 250)

    self.item_count = 10
  end

  def on_get_item_text(item, col)
    'foo'
  end
end

class TestFrame < TestFrameBase
  def setup
    @m_listctrl3.set_list_ctrl
  end
end

class TestApp < Wx::App
  def on_init
    f = TestFrame.new
    f.setup
    f.show
    return true
  end
end

TestApp.new.main_loop

Ken Uraya

I got onto the Mac mini here and ran the program again, this time 
remembering to make a screen capture. (To repeat: this is the same code 
that is rendered in the first screen capture, from Win XP.)

It is as you said.

The button background colors that I used actually do show up, filling 
the space between the pill-shaped button and the rectangular space it 
occupies.

How do you load icons on windows in wxRuby? I know in wxWidgets you use
wxIconLocation, but as far as I can see, it is not included in wxRuby.
Any ideas?

every window should have set_icon method to do that

You can load an external icon from a file simple with 
Wx::Icon.new(filepath,...)

If you have a Windows icon file containing multiple icons, you should be 
able to use Wx::IconBundle.new(filepath,...), then the method 
get_icon(i) to access individual icons by index.

Sorry, I was being a little lazy. If we add images (which I think we 
would like to) we'd want them to work so that they're managed in SVN, 
bundled with the gems and uploaded in bulk to the server. So it'd need a 
few tweaks to the packaging rake scripts. But if you're willing to take 
snaps of 10+ classes and do the patches to the docs, I'm happy to 
integrate those and update the rakefiles.

I agree, though it's always worth remembering that wxRuby is part of a 
much larger ecosystem. There is a vast amount on the web about wxWidgets 
and wxPython which is very helpful for Ruby. It

Try something like:

1) Use evt_motion to track where the mouse is within the CalendarCtrl
2) CalendarCtrl#hit_test to work out what date is being covered
3) then Window#tooltip= / set_tooltip to set the appropriate text to 
show on hover.

I haven't done this for CalendarCtrl but it works well with StyledTextCtrl.

Not in core wxWidgets 2.8 - I've seen it discussed. Those kind of 
notifications aren't part of the core UI in OS X (and maybe GNOME) - 
applications that have them rely on add-on frameworks eg Growl. You 
might use another package eg:

Will that load all the icons from the file? It would be better to be 
able to just load one. I will be loading the icons from various system 
dlls so it wouldn't make sense to load all of them.

If you wish to load just one Icon, create a method like this:

def load_windows_icon(dll_file,icon_number)
  ib = Wx::IconBundle.new(dll_file)
  ib.get_icon(icon_number)
end

This will return a Wx::Icon, and the ib will be put on the garbage heap for
release at the next run of the Garbage Collector.  There is no slowing down
between loading a single icon, and loading multiple Icons through
IconBundle, as wxWidgets will utilize Win32API first, and foremost, for most
GUI Operations.  In the case of IconBundles, it will read the Icon Header,
be it .ico, .dll, or .exe, and it will parse the most important information
needed to create the IconBundle class.  The actual extraction, and creation
of the Icon is deferred to when you use the get_icon method on the
IconBundle class.  An Icon Resource could have a hundred icons in it, and it
will not slow down the reading of the data.

Well, I found notify
http://rubygems.org/gems/notify
It does what I need about notification, at least on Ubuntu
(the author said it is cross platform, but I have not tried it)

Also about hit_test, I don't know how to use it

*hit_test*(Point <file:///home/hendra/ruby/wxruby-doc/html/point.html> pos,
                                 DateTime
<file:///home/hendra/ruby/wxruby-doc/html/datetime.html> date = nil,

                                 DateTime::WeekDay wd = nil)


I assume point is get from
Point.new(event.get_x, event.get_y)
But what about date?
I put Time.now there and it gives me error?
How should I use this?

I apologize for asking here what I could discover on my own, but I get 
impatient about some things and I won't have access to a Mac till the 
weekend. :-)

If I have a Windows icon file with multiple icons, will the Mac use 
those icons too?

Alternatively, if I were to have a Mac icns file, does it work the same 
way you describe when on the Mac (instead of Windows)? And will Windows 
be able to access the individual icons in that file or are they 
inaccessible to it?

>From the suggestion I've seen more than once to use .png for icons to

answered in the negative. Is the preferred method to use Wx::SetIcons 
with various sized png's if you don't know on what platform your app 
will be used?

Thanks!

This method should have a mapping so that it accepts a single Point 
argument and returns a DateTime object. This is how similar methods work 
in other classes, but I'm afraid I think the mapping has been missed for 
this class & method. Could you report it as a bug please and I'll fix 
for next release.

thanks

Subject: [wxruby-users] Application focus
Message-ID: <3123833ce4ed996da355979efcb03f99@ruby-forum.com>

Hi there,

I'm developping an application based on xmpp4r and WxRuby to download
file between contacts. My application must handle incoming request and
manage all the file upload proccess.

Unfortunately, all proccess in Wx::App are active only if the
application has the focus or receive an event.
For example, I must move my cursor on the main window or click on it if
I want the user interface to be refreshed (contact go online/offline).

Is there a way to set that the Wx application must continue its actions
allthough it has not the focus ?

Thank you

Not a problem, we get quite a few questions on here, that people can't find
in documentation.

I believe that wxWidgets needs a library in order to load Widows Icon files
on any other system other then Windows itself.

Mac OS X uses png's, like Linux does.  If you ever look in a .app bundle
folder, you will often find icons are in png.

It is best to use PNG's for icons, simply for the fact that wxWidgets can
load PNG's correctly on all 3 platforms.  And you will find that if you load
with Wx::Bitmap, or Wx::Image, you can convert it to an Icon, through
Wx::Icon, which will allow the icon to be created in native format, to be
used on the platform in question.  And infact, any PNG, GIF, JPEG, etc, etc,
can be converted to a Icon, and used where ever Wx::Icon is required.

Thanks!

Hello Hurier,

There is two ways in which you can do this.  The first method, is to use a
Wx::Timer and Threads.  It depends on if you are using Ruby 1.9 or Ruby 1.8
in the method in which you can execute this.

If you are using Ruby 1.8

You create a Thread that will do your Xmppr processing, and then you setup a
timer, that will after so many seconds or Milliseconds, does a Thread
switch, to allow other ruby threads to run.  You can find an example of this
in my Sockets examples distributed with wxRuby.

If you are using Ruby 1.9

You can simply just create the Thread, and it will auto-context switch for
you, as Ruby 1.9 uses native threads, instead of Soft Threads, as with Ruby
1.8, hence for the work around provided in the sockets demo.

The second method in which to implement this, is to use the evt_idle method
in your initialization method for your Window class, which will call the
method that handles the Xmppr processing, and occasionally checks for Events
to be generated by the wxWidgets, by using Wx::App.pending?  Which returns
true if events are pending, otherwise false.

Idle events are generated once for entering an Idle state.  So, if you do
nothing with your app for a second, it will generate an idle event, evt_idle
will execute once, and then it will wait for new events to occur.  When a
new event occurs for anything, the event will fire, then it will wait for a
second then generate another idle event.

The timing in the above explination is only an example, and does not
expressly garuntee that the idle event will execute 1 second after no other
events occur.


hth,

Mario
