[Fxruby-users] A couple of questions

[<kel...@so...>]

Hi everyone, 

I have a couple of questions: 

1) When I use PLACEMENT_MAXIMIZED (e.g., WT_MainWindow.new.show 
PLACEMENT_MAXIMIZED) the window hides the Windows task bar and the 
application's title bar is not fully visible.  Is this normal?  (Note that 
this isn't what happens when you click on the maximize button in the top 
right of the app's control box). 

2)  I'm not sure if this is a bug, but ... I've subclassed FXIconItem (so I 
can do sorting).  If I want to create a new item, I can say 
MySubClassedFXIconItem.new("string", myBigIcon, myMiniIcon, myObject).  The 
constructor for MySubClassedFXIconItem should be: 

def initialize(string, bigIcon, miniIcon, object)
super(string, bigIcon, miniIcon, object)
end 

but that gives a TypeError ("wrong argument type ... expected Data") 

However, this works: 

def initialize(string, bigIcon, miniIcon, object)
super(string, bigIcon, miniIcon)
self.data = object
end 

so it's not a big deal.  But I think the first way is more elegant and so 
I'm mentioning it. 

3)  I'm a using a "downArrow" and "upArrow" icon to show the header that's 
being sorted in my FXIconList.  I create the icons (hold a reference in an 
instance variable: ie, @upArrowIcon = FXICOIcon.new(myApp, 
File.open("uparrow.ico", "rb").read())) but I don't use them until a user 
clicks on the header.  But when I try to set the icon, I get 

abnormal program termination
WT_App.rb:22: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) [i386-mswin32] 

However, if I create the icons and attach them to, say, a menu item, I can 
now use them when the user clicks on a header (without changing anything 
else).  Is this a GC issue?  Or is it that I'm doing something wrong? 

Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks, 

Karl.
