FXWizard example?

[patrick-194]

After futzing about with juggling mutiple mainWindows with limited success - I see there is a FXWizard class.

However, I was a tad dismayed at my (lack of) results in understanding the rdoc details to implement one.

this bit:

require 'rubygems'
require 'fox16'
include Fox

app = FXApp.new
wiz = FXWizard.new(app, 'wiz', :width => 300, :height => 300)

generates this error:

C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.19-x86-mswin32-60/lib/fox16/kwargs.rb:2678:in `old_initialize': No matching function for overloaded 'new_FXWizard'
gumentError)
        from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.19-x86-mswin32-60/lib/fox16/kwargs.rb:2678:in `initialize'
        from wiz.rb:6:in `new'
        from wiz.rb:6

according to the rdocs:

If owner is the application, the dialog box will be free-floating.

so I'm at a loss as to what I'm missing...

The error message is completely unhelpful, but I think all that's wrong is that you're missing one of the required arguments for FXWizard.new. See the API docs here:

http://www.fxruby.org/doc/api/classes/Fox/FXWizard.html

The first three arguments are the owner window (or app, in your case), the name (i.e. the title for the dialog box) and the image to be displayed in the sidebar (or nil if you don't want an image). Try something like:

wiz = FXWizard.new(app, 'wiz', nil, :width => 300, :height => 300)

Hope this helps,

Lyle
