[Fxruby-users] Default associations in FXFileList and FXDirList

[<kun...@ho...>]

Hello!

I am toying a bit with FXFileList and also FXDirList - pretty easy to 
get running, but I wonder about the associations to the files, and their 
icons.

I've tried ot google a bit, and I've went through this list and searched 
the original FOX documentation - I'm sure it is there somewhere, but I 
must be looking in the wrong place then...

Are there any good way to import the default icons, or has anyone 
aldready done the job of creating something that imitates the usual 
options? Seems a bit silly to manually tie mp3 to this icon etc when the 
system already does that somewhere else - that information is apparently 
available as other applications can get at it. Any ideas and tips are 
welcome, otherwise I guess I'll have to do that work and share it 
instead. ;-)

Also, I am having a bit of trouble with FXDirList - no matter what I set 
directory to, it always starts at 'C:\' - am I doing something wrong? 
All I do is create it, then set the directory, which works with FXFileList.

I am trying this out on an Win XP box, with ruby 1.8.0 and FXRuby 1.0.22 
(I think). Got it all in that package that the Pragmatic Programmers put 
together for Windows. However, I will not only be on this platform, so 
if there are any Windows specific issues, I'd be thankful if that was 
noted. :)
