Source code from complex user interfaces RUBY GTK

Hi, I've just started creating user interfaces with Ruby GTK and I would like to know where can I find source code of complete interfaces, examples and stuff, to learn to use all the features. My program should have a window with all the normal options (File, Edit, Help, etc); I would like to know where can I find source code from programs made this way. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello John, I've particularly liked Hal Fulton's Ruby Way (there's a second edition ) and the Ruby Cookbook. I think both are available on Safari, eg. http://safari.oreilly.com/0596523696/rubyckbk-CHP-21-SECT-15 Best regards, Axel -- GMX startet ShortView.de. Hier findest Du Leute mit Deinen Interessen!

I'm not sure a book is the best choice. You don't know what's in the book. Maybe it's a nominal section about the library, nothing more. You can use 'gem' to search for gems that depend on that GUI library. Then you'll have plenty of examples. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

On the one hand you say packages don't depend on some non-existing GNOME2 gem. On the other hand you say the install would fail because the (non-existing!) dependency cannot be satisfied.... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

The best way is to - use krugle to search for specific ruby-gnome constructs - look at the wiki (it has a LOT of knowledge buried) - find some examples on the www In a way you shouldnt worry too much, just make a little todo list what you want to achieve. The smaller, the easier it can be solved. And you can use the mailing list for the ruby-gtk folks too :) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

There's a reason I used the _subjunctive_ in that case: To answer the question 'imagine if that were possible', as Raymond Chen would put it. - -- Phillip Gawlowski Twitter: twitter.com/cynicalryan Blog: http://justarubyist.blogspot.com YOUTH, n.
