Hello!

I am trying the following:

puts FXChoiceBox.ask(@app, 0, “Export to database?”,  
“#{exp.devices.length} records accepted, #{exp.rejected} records  
rejected.\n” +  
“Would you like to continue with the export?”, nil, [“Yes”, “No”])

…and getting:

D:/Work/Workspace/Massage/publish\_to\_hub.rb:277: [BUG] Segmentation  
fault  
ruby 1.8.4 (2006-04-14) [i386-mswin32]

I’m not sure if this is a bug or not. This is with FxRuby1.6 that  
comes with the latest Ruby one-click installer.

Any ideas?

I am finding the documentation to be a bit lacking in practical  
information. Is there a place on the web where there are more FxRuby  
EXAMPLES than the few that come with FxRuby?

Looks like a bug, but I can reproduce it on Windows only (not on Mac  
OS X). Anyways, I’ve filed a bug report on your behalf and hopefully  
we’ll get this fixed in the next release.

Thanks! In the meantime I duplicated what I wanted with a MessageBox.  
I have also started adding some FxRuby snippets to  
[programmingishard.com](http://programmingishard.com) - although I see the original Code Snippets  
([BigBold - Informasi Tentang Bisnis dan Marketing](http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/)) is bigger, so I might start adding  
there.

I think we need examples for as much of FxRuby as possible.

A lot of people say that, but very few of them do anything about it.  
Thank you for adding some of your examples to those sites that you  
mentioned!
