JVD> What advantages does Fox have over Tk? Advantage: Faster, smaller, better (more ruby like) API. Disadvantage: Not all widgets exist or at comparable quality (TkCanvas, TkText, TkTable), no I18N and L17N. If you need a basic feature it is much easier to add it with C++ to FOX + Ruby Binding as it is with TK. In a complex application you always have to do this, in simpler apps you don't need to care about it. -- Best regards, emailto: scholz at scriptolutions dot com Lothar Scholz http://www.ruby-ide.com CTO Scriptolutions Ruby, PHP, Python IDE 's
