Subject: Re: wxRuby and other GUI toolkits

TIMTOWTDI. I do it a bit different than all of the samples. I prefer
the following way, since it helps me see the GUI structure when I'm
looking at the code.

Here are some non-functioning (since they are only part of the
application's code) examples.

Example 1:
			FXMenuPane.new(@mainwin){ |hide_and_remind_menu|
				FXMenuTitle.new(menu_bar,"Hide and Remind",nil,hide_and_remind_menu)
				FXMenuCommand.new(hide_and_remind_menu,"5
seconds").connect(SEL_COMMAND) do hide_and_remind_sec(5) end
				FXMenuCommand.new(hide_and_remind_menu,"15
seconds").connect(SEL_COMMAND) do hide_and_remind_sec(15) end
				FXMenuSeparator.new(hide_and_remind_menu)
				FXMenuCommand.new(hide_and_remind_menu,"30
minutes").connect(SEL_COMMAND) do hide_and_remind_sec( (60*30) ) end
				FXMenuSeparator.new(hide_and_remind_menu)
				FXMenuCommand.new(hide_and_remind_menu,"2
hours").connect(SEL_COMMAND) do hide_and_remind_sec( (60*60*2) ) end
				FXMenuCommand.new(hide_and_remind_menu,"4
hours").connect(SEL_COMMAND) do hide_and_remind_sec( (60*60*4) ) end
				FXMenuCommand.new(hide_and_remind_menu,"6
hours").connect(SEL_COMMAND) do hide_and_remind_sec( (60*60*6) ) end
				FXMenuSeparator.new(hide_and_remind_menu)
				FXMenuCommand.new(hide_and_remind_menu,"8am
tomorrow").connect(SEL_COMMAND) do hide_and_remind(8) end
				FXMenuCommand.new(hide_and_remind_menu,"10am
tomorrow").connect(SEL_COMMAND) do hide_and_remind(10) end
				FXMenuCommand.new(hide_and_remind_menu,"Noon
tomorrow").connect(SEL_COMMAND) do hide_and_remind(12) end
				FXMenuCommand.new(hide_and_remind_menu,"4pm
tomorrow").connect(SEL_COMMAND) do hide_and_remind(16) end
				FXMenuCommand.new(hide_and_remind_menu,"8pm
tomorrow").connect(SEL_COMMAND) do hide_and_remind(20) end
			}

Example 2:
FXHorizontalFrame.new(@sql_container,LAYOUT_FILL_X){|hf|
			FXVerticalFrame.new(hf,0,0,0,0,0,20)
			FXVerticalFrame.new(hf,LAYOUT_FILL_X){|vf|
				FXVerticalFrame.new(vf,LAYOUT_FILL_X|TEXTFIELD_NORMAL){|frame_line|
					@sql=FXText.new(frame_line,nil,0,LAYOUT_FILL_X)
					@sql.visRows=6
					@sql.text=""
				}
				FXButton.new(vf,"Execute
SQL",nil,nil,0,BUTTON_NORMAL|LAYOUT_RIGHT).connect(SEL_COMMAND)do
					process_sql(@sql.text)
				end
			}
			FXVerticalFrame.new(hf,0,0,0,0,0,20)
		}

Notice I'm not saying anything bad about wxWidgets. In fact I'm a bt
jealous of the native look-n-feel thing... :-)

I'm just trying to show that FXRuby has excellent support for...
ruby-esque-ness (if that's a word)
