I want a dialog box to choose a directory. I’m running the following  
code

require ‘fox16’  
include Fox

dialog = FXDirDialog.new(self, “Choose Directory”)

and am getting an error that says  
“No matching function for overloaded ‘new\_FXDirDialog (ArgumentError)’”

Am I missing something, or typing something wrong?

Thanks,

Alex
