Forum: wxRuby wxruby messagedialog box

any way to keep a dialog box inside its parent, instead of centered on 
the
screen?
require 'rubygems'
require 'wx'
include Wx


class MyFrame < Frame
    def initialize()
      super(nil,-1,'Wristband Manager',:size => [400,600])
    @my_panel = Panel.new(self)
    @mybutton = Button.new(self,-1,'click')
    evt_button(@mybutton) {onclick}
    show

 end

def onclick
 diagYesno = MessageDialog.new(self,'are you sure','Process 
Request',YES_NO)
   case diagYesno.show_modal
            when Wx::ID_YES
                yesno = 'Yes'
            when Wx::ID_NO
                yesno = 'No'
            end
            puts yesno
end

 end

 class MyApp < App
     def on_init
        frame1 = MyFrame.new

    end
end

### Main Logic


MyApp.new.main_loop()

Try calling centre_on_parent() - or center_on_parent(), if you're that
way inclined

Dialog inherits this method from Wx::Window

You will need to do this, before you call show_modal, as show_modal will
open the dialog, and wait for a User Response, before returning control 
back
to your program, so just after the creation of your Dialog Object, you 
would
call #centre_on_parent() or #center_on_parent().

hm, ok, read the docs, but it still doesnt center on parent
also, how come button fills whole frame?

require 'rubygems'
require 'wx'
include Wx

class MyFrame < Frame
    def initialize()
      super(nil,-1,'The Rabbit Hole',:size => [300,300])
      @diagYesno = MessageDialog.new(self,'are you sure','White Rabbit
asks',YES_NO)
         @diagYesno.center_on_parent(BOTH)
    #@my_panel = Panel.new(self)
    @mybutton = Button.new(self,-1,'Drink Me',:pos =>[2,2],:size => 
[30,20])
    evt_button(@mybutton) {onclick}
    show
 end

def onclick

   case @diagYesno.show_modal
            when Wx::ID_YES
                yesno = 'Yes'
            when Wx::ID_NO
                yesno = 'No'
            end
            puts yesno
end

 end

 class MyApp < App
     def on_init
        frame1 = MyFrame.new

    end
