[ruby-gnome-users-en] Gtk::Entry problem

[Kristof B. <kr...@vl...>]

Hello.

I am developing a small app with ruby/GTK.
However, there is a problem when trying to change text in an
Entry-box, using the signal "insert-text".
The following small code will show the problem.

This is an example taken from the gtk - user manual.
There it uses the function gtk_block_signal_handler_by_func.
This is not available in the ruby-language bindings, so I use
a global variable.

When a insert text, the text gets there, but the cursor doesn't 
move.
Is there a way to make this work, or do I have change to the 
c-language?

--- begin code -----
require 'gtk'
$block = false

window = Gtk::Window.new
entry = Gtk::Entry.new()

window.add(Gtk::VBox.new.add(entry))

entry.signal_connect("insert_text") do
  |widget, text, pos|

  if not $block
    $block = true
    widget.insert_text(text.upcase, pos)
    $block = false
    widget.signal_emit_stop_by_name("insert_text")
  end
end

window.show_all

Gtk.main
--- end code ---
