Re: [Fxruby-users] C++ Fox widgets to be used in FXRuby ... any way?

[Riccardo G. <ric...@fi...>]

Yes
sure .. as an example Marco Frailis has done a ColoredListItem starting
from some C++ code snippsets he found on the Fox project page .. the
conversion to the FXRuby domain was quite straightforward .. my question
was originated by the fact that I'll probably need to support a C++
application (not all the people around like Ruby .. I know, it seems 
impossible :) .. )that will use FOX and that probably need me to develop 
some new widgets .. I would like than to be able to use that widgets 
also for my other ruby projects, without implementing them twice .. but 
anyway this is a maybe scenario, so for now it is just a personal 
curiosity ..

Thanks for the reply, Riccardo :)
