[Recheis M. <Mei...@av...>]

hi,
thanks for your offer, but i am currently developing a similar tool for =
Ruby.
i did today download DlgEditor and was really surprised, because mine =
looks exactly the same, though i
didn't see yours till today.=20

i got also a shutter to the right
and a switcher to the left, containing the properties.

but our tools are also a lot different.
i don't do explicit layout. i make use of the layout managers, which is =
the
fox way.

also i got a treelist showing the widget hierarchy, so you can browse =
and never loose a widget.

- best regards, Meinrad

First off, Sorry for the double mailing to the list. I had a bit of=20
trouble with my email provider...

Ah, great. My bad - will find an upgrade then, if it is available for=20
FXRuby. :)

Actually, I did prefix with the drive letter. I realized afterward that=20
there was a bigger problem than it ignoring my path, it probably really=20
should show all drives, which it didn't. OTOH, this is apparently fixed=20
in newer versions, so I'll upgrade.

For someone not too familiar with the framework yet, can I find and use=20
this database somewhere, to build upon when starting to build my own=20
list if needed?

Yeah, true that. Though I thought that there would be some kind of=20
central repository or something, since a *lot* of third party programs,=20
file managers and the like does manage to use the correct icons even if=20
they don't use the built-in Win components. Of course, they might just=20
have been doing a huge amount of hacking.

Yeah, I've seen how the system works, and I think I can manage to build=20
my own associations if I have to. The thing I'd really like though was=20
to steal any system associations, if available,  at least to provide a=20
start. :)

Thanks a lot, that makes things a bit clearer... I'll probably come back =

with some more in a moment, though. ;)
