BLT::Tabnotebook - tabnotebook.tcl not found

Hi,

I tried to use BLT::Tabnotebook to put my existing Tk components in
Tabs, but it just doesn't work.
A simple example:

require 'tk'
require 'tkextlib/blt'

parent = Tk::BLT::Tile::Frame.new
                               
Tk::BLT::Tile::Label.new(parent)

Tk::BLT::Tabnotebook.new(parent)

gives

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1807:in `_invoke_without_enc': couldn't read
file "tabnotebook.tcl": no such file or directory (RuntimeError)
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1807:in `_ip_invoke_core'
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1843:in `_tk_call_core'
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1871:in `tk_call_without_enc'
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:4920:in `create_self'

  from /home/philip/workspaces/ruby/test/tabtest.rb:8:in `new'
  from /home/philip/workspaces/ruby/test/tabtest.rb:8

So, what did I do wrong? There's a tabnotebook.tcl in /usr/lib/blt2.4 .

I tried to use BLT::Tabnotebook to put my existing Tk components in
Tabs, but it just doesn't work.

I'm very sorry. Probably, it depends on a bug on tkextlib/blt.rb.
Please try the following patch.

Hi,

thanks, Tabnotebook.new works now.
However, if I do this

require 'tk'
require 'tkextlib/blt'

parent = Tk::BLT::Tile::Frame.new

nb = Tk::BLT::Tabnotebook.new(parent)

tab = Tk::BLT::Tabset::Tab.new(nb)

I get

Is this my fault this time?
I don't really know how to use the Tabnotebook and tabs. Could you give
me some hints?

I'm sorry. It's MY fault.
I misunderstood the relation between Tabset and Tabnotebook.
So, tabnotebook.rb doesn't work properly.
I'll rewrite tabnotebook.rb. Please give me a few days.

Hi,
thanks for the patches!

We can now create tabs. However, when we try to insert elements into the
tabs, we still get errors.

E.g.:

require 'tk'
require 'tkextlib/blt'

nb = Tk::BLT::Tabnotebook.new(TkRoot.new).pack

t1 = Tk::BLT::Tabnotebook::Tab.new(nb)
Tk::BLT::Tile::Label.new(t1)

alternatively (gives the same error):

Tk::BLT::Tile::Label.new(nb.get_tab(0))

error message:

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1807:in `_invoke_without_enc': bad window path

A Tab object cannot be a parent of other widet.
Please use a Tabnotebook object as a parent of contents.
For example, the following will work.

It works!

Thank you very much for all that patching and the example.
