This exe file contains all dependencies, interpreter, wx stuff etc. http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubyscript2exe/ I can remember, that i modified the script due to a bug i forgot, but i attached the file that i'm using. for linux in conjunction with the package managers it is (to my mind) not too intelligent to produce an exe file, because such an exe file needs to be extracted and that takes some (unnecessary) seconds. a bit more userfriendly in my opinion is the installation of ruby-gnome2, not on linux, but on windows. refer to: http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Install+Guide+for+Windows kind regards, der max -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Have a look at OCRA instead: http://rubygems.org/gems/ocra As well as rubyscript2exe did it compiles your application together with a Ruby Interpreter and all used gems into a single executable which additionally remains quite small (thanks to lzma compression). In case of Linux users you don't need to worry too much. It's not a big deal to just do something like "sudo apt-get install ruby-full" or the like (depending on used distrubution and Ruby version) followed by a "sudo gem install wxruby".

However .. editor = @grid.get_cell_editor (@arow, at acol) editor.end_edit (@arow, at acol, at grid) .. didn't seem to anything. I'm still puzzled on how this all works together under the hood. Eventually, I was able to resolve the problem (exchanging table with an active editor) by using the following def on_tree_selection_changed event @grid.begin_batch @grid.clear_selection @grid.enable_editing(false) @grid.enable_cell_edit_control(false) table = @grid.get_table table.detach if (table and table.respond_to?

I'd be very interested in what you came up with. I've been pondering about that for a while and neither rubyscript2exe nor ocra seemed to work the way I expected them to.

(Specifically, I'm actually using wxSU, http://wxsu.sourceforge.net/, which is basically wxRuby packaged up as a Sketchup plug-in). I'm trying to create a custom dialog to gather information from the user via text boxes (implemented with Wx::TextCtrl) and pull-down menus (implemented with Wx::Choice). My problem is that I can't figure out how to get the information entered via these means out of the Wx::Dialog object they live in when the "OK" button is clicked. Here is the relevant code: ## this is the WX code for an improved location dialog class LocationDialog < Wx::Dialog def initialize ## set dialog characteristics title = "Location dialog" size = Wx::Size.new(250, 305) position = Wx::DEFAULT_POSITION style = Wx::SYSTEM_MENU name = "location dialog" ## create dialog super(WxSU.app.sketchup_frame, -1, title, position, size, style, name) ## fields and buttons ## city citySTPos = Wx::Point.new(10,10) citySTSize = Wx::Size.new(110,20) cityST = Wx::StaticText.new(self, -1, 'city', citySTPos, citySTSize, Wx::ALIGN_RIGHT) cityTCPos = Wx::Point.new(130,10) cityTCSize = Wx::Size.new(100,20) @cityTC = Wx::TextCtrl.new(self, -1, '', cityTCPos, cityTCSize, Wx::TE_LEFT) ## timezone offset tzSTPos = Wx::Point.new(10,130) tzSTSize = Wx::Size.new(110,20) tzST = Wx::StaticText.new(self, -1, 'timezone offset', tzSTPos, tzSTSize, Wx::ALIGN_RIGHT) tzCPos = Wx::Point.new(130,130) tzCSize = Wx::Size.new(70,20) tzChoices = (-12..12).to_a.collect{ |e| e.to_s } tzC = Wx::Choice.new(self, -1, tzCPos, tzCSize, tzChoices) ## a bunch more fields here that I've omitted for brevity ## okay button okBPos = Wx::Point.new(130,255) okBSize = Wx::Size.new(100,20) okButton = Wx::Button.new(self, Wx::ID_OK, 'okay', okBPos, okBSize, Wx::BU_BOTTOM) self.set_affirmative_id(okButton.get_id()) ## identifies button as dialog "OK" button #evt_button(okButton.get_id()) {|e| on_okButton(e)} # attempt 1 #evt_button(okButton.get_id()) {|e| puts "test" } # attempt 2 ## cancel button canBPos = Wx::Point.new(20,255) canBSize = Wx::Size.new(100,20) canButton = Wx::Button.new(self, Wx::ID_CANCEL, 'cancel', canBPos, canBSize, Wx::BU_BOTTOM) self.set_escape_id(canButton.get_id()) ## identifies button as dialog "cancel" button end ## initilize end ## LocationDialog I tried using the button event handling block to point the button to another method ("attempt 1" commented out above), but when I do it this way, I can't get the LocationDialog.show_modal method to return anything but a Fixnum 0 when "OK" is clicked (it should be returning either a Fixnum 5100, or a Wx::ID_OK), which is problematic because I need this return value for logic elsewhere in my code. I also tried simply putting the code I need right in the block ("attempt 2", commented out above). When I do this the code in the block executes as I would hope, but nothing else I need to happen happens -- ie, the dialog doesn't close, and the LocationDialog.show_modal doesn't return the correct value. So: I'm wondering how I can accomplish this. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Josh -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

While wxSU isn't a package we officially support, it's not much different then a Normal wxRuby application. And your specific problem, does fall into the reign of wxRuby itself. A common mis-conception about Dialogs, is that return values are anything of meaning, aside from the default values of Wx::ID_OK, Wx::ID_CANCEL. Wx::Dialog#show_modal will always return these values, to determine if the dialog was Cancelled, or okayed by the user. You should check for these values to ensure that your dialog was accepted by the user, before attempting to get any values from the dialog. Now, with the establishment of how Wx::Dialog#show_modal returns values, to get your specific values out of the dialog, you have one of two ways in which to gather the data from your custom Dialog. Both methods are similar, in the way to extract the data, but one specific method is designed to be internal to your custom Dialog class, and the other is an external way. The Internal way to get your data, is to create a method to retrieve the values you need from your dialog, and return them as an array. As such: class LocationDialog < Wx::Dialog # After your initialization function add this: def get_values() values = [] values << @cityTC.get_value values << @tzC.get_index return values end end The other method, is similar to the above method, but instead of having the function built into your Dialog class, you make your control instances as attributes on your Dialog Class itself, to get the values out of them. Like So: class LocationDialog < Wx::Dialog attr_reader :cityTC, :tzC # Do your initialization stuff here end Now, in your main app, where you do the Dialog#show_modal, you can use either method to get the data. The first Method: def on_get_info() dlg = LocationDialog.new if dlg.show_modal == Wx::ID_OK data = dlg.get_values() # Parse your data here end dlg.destroy end The Second Method: def on_get_info() dlg = LocationDialog.new if dlg.show_modal == Wx::ID_OK city = dlg.cityTC.get_value tz = dlg.tzC.get_index # Parse your data here end dlg.destroy() end My personal preference would be the first method, as all your data is gathered at once. But you can use any method you wish. This is the best way to gather the data from a custom dialog that you have built. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask on this list, as we are always happy to help out new comers. hth, Mario On Thu, Jun 10, 2010 at 6:59 PM, Josh Kjenner wrote: > Howdy; > > I'm using wxRuby to build menus for a Sketchup plug-in I'm working on. > (Specifically, I'm actually using wxSU, http://wxsu.sourceforge.net/, > which is basically wxRuby packaged up as a Sketchup plug-in). > > I'm trying to create a custom dialog to gather information from the user > via text boxes (implemented with Wx::TextCtrl) and pull-down menus > (implemented with Wx::Choice).

And I'm hopelessly stuck! In DialogBlocks (or indeed wxFormBuilder, which gives me the same problem) I can create a widget, give that widget a new id and class name (in the example I created below, text_box1 and CaseChangeTextCtrl1, respectively), and then add a module which utilises that widget in my program, no problem. But the moment I try to add a second widget with a second id and a second class, (in the example below, text_box2 and CaseChangeTextCtrl2 ) I get an "uninitialized constant" error for that widget when I run my program. I don't understand it at all. The two widgets are the same, except they have different class names and different id names. Is there some limit (a limit of 1) to the number of classes you can create in an XRC file or xrcise-generated rb file? Do you have to get DialogBlocks to create separate files for each new class apart from the first class, or something? I am sure I am missing something simple. But I have spent hours on this, and can't figure it out. Please! Help! Me! warm regards John Below is everything in the chain: 1) the xrc file created by dialogblocks; 2) the rb file generated from that xrc file by xrcise (this is the file that produces the error); 3) the user-written code (in this case, an exercise taken from the web) that calls that xrcise-generated rb file; and 4) the error message. 1) ###### the xrc file ##### ;

Figured it out. I was writing empty modules for the new classes, thinking that would suffice as I went along, but I need to put some placeholder functions into them. cheers John -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Thank you Alex, due to the nature in which we build wxRuby, it was a pain in the wazoo to get setup properly to where I could create a deb file for it. lol A new update to the repository, I have added a wxsugar package to my repository, so you can now get wxruby and wxsugar from the same repository. This repository will help with people needing an easy and familiar way to install the wxRuby package on systems that they are developing on, as well as setting up a way for easy distribution on Debain based Linux systems. If you have an application that you want to package as a deb, or want to include in my repository, please feel free to email me off-list, and I will help out in any way I can.
