FXRuby/FOX reference?

Hi folks, just starting some FXRuby in anger. Can anyone point me to a
good source for details like what events are available for interception
for particular classe, etc… I’ve had a look at the main FOX site but
can only find a reference to the classes - not the events, etc.

Thanks.

Russ

Here’s one document that lists all of the messages (events) that a
particular widget might send to its message target, and the kind of
message data it sends along with that message:

 http://www.knology.net/~lyle/fox/1.0/FoxMessages.pdf.gz

It is a little dated but I think the information in it is still true for
the fox-1.0 releases.

Anger?

Non-NA English for “seriously”. So possible trans: “just starting
to seriously use FXRuby for non-trivial tasks”.

FWIW

NA-English equiv: “with a vengeance” :slight_smile:

Very interesting, that’s something I’ve never
heard in the USA.

I suppose the closest idiom I know would be
“with a vengeance.”

Yep, I like that definition :slight_smile:

This will also a good candidate for the movie title when FXRuby makes
the leap to the big screen:

 "FXRuby: With A Vengeance"
