Dami=E1n,

You are likely correct. However, the= issue with me is being patient. It appears to me that the learning slope f= or FXRuby is much more tough to climb than the one for Shoes. I struggle wi= th Ruby as I learn it and then struggling learning a tool which will be use= d with Ruby I find it a bit too much. I'm so busy on my current job and= I want to learn Ruby to see if I can simplify the things I do daily. The G= UI part is to add a bit of beauty and easy of use to what I do daily. I tel= l you man, I tried: FXRuby, Monkeybars, Ruby/GTK, JRuby with Netbeans, Visu= al Ruby, WxRuby and another six or 8 more. I was actually looking for somet= hing easy with drag and drop like visual basic. So I think I will give Shoe= s a try. It also looks like the Shoes community, although small are very he= lpful. I just hope that they will be patient with me as I will be asking pr= obably many questions. It looks like Shoes lack many features common on oth= er more mature platforms. But I think that Shoes will eventually get there.= I am not a sophisticated programmer anyway, as I am learning. So I probabl= y do not have the need for a sophisticated product.

Nevertheless, thank you for your recommendation. If you know of an easi= er (like drag and drop) GUI platform for Ruby, please let me know. I am alw= ays ready and willing to try new things.

Again, thank you

I find FXRuby a better option in this partic= ular case, you can consult
many things about the widget, judge how many rows were wrote and by
knowing that resize the widget until you have only one row, or you can
do many many things. Take a look at the FXText widget in here:
