I am looking for a way to embed Ruby/Tk apps in a web page.

Please tell me if this is possible and if so how.

Thanks

I am looking for a way to embed Ruby/Tk apps in a web page.

I committed patch for tcltklib.c.
Now, you can create a safe interpreter with safe-Tk on Ruby/Tk.
For exapmle,

require ‘tk’
safeip = Tk::INTERP._eval(‘::safe::interpCreate’)
Tk::INTERP._eval(‘::safe::loadTk ’ + safeip)
Tk::INTERP._eval(safeip + ’ eval button .b -text SlaveIP -command exit’)
Tk::INTERP._eval(safeip + ’ eval pack .b’)
Tk.mainloop

To control slave-interpreters on tk.rb will be supported in the future.
Maybe it is a first step of Ruby/Tklet. :slight_smile:

Hi

Will this be the version of Ruby/Tk with Ruby 1.8 ? If so I shall need to
update and convert my codes, as I am working with 1.6.7 at present.

Yes. It is included Ruby1.8.0-preview3 which was released today. :slight_smile:

Possibly, if comple ext/tcltklib and ext/tk of Ruby1.8 on Ruby1.6,
almost all part of Ruby/Tk will work fine except depending on
Ruby1.8 features. ( I don’t test it on Ruby1.6. )
