Subject: Re: [FXRuby] - Catching keypresses

Lyle, awesome, detailed answer. Somehow I am not compatible with Fox's
documentation; What especially bothers me is that not every (I suspect no)
virtual method of a child class is linked with the corresponding parent
method. In contrast, QT's documentation is extremely easy to understand and
extremely well formatted/linked. I would have never suspected that I have to
enable widgets first.

Thanks again. Using FXRuby is extreme fun.
