Help with wxSugar please

Ruby

I am playing around with making some sort of GUI in ruby and have settle
on wxRuby. I stumbled across wxSugar and the sample code here:
http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?WxSugar
but that code does not run!?

It is saying that all the methods associated with Wx::Choice that he
uses (each_string, strings[], data[], delete_if) do not exist and I have
no clue why. I cannot find ANY documentation on wxSugar so I’m not sure
how I’m supposed to pick it up.

Also, in that example code he adds Wx::Choice and a Wx::TextCtrl, but
how can I get to the data in these controls? I know the method is
something like choice.get_current_selection(), but how do I reference it
anywhere if it has no identifier or name? For example if I selected
something from the Wx::Choice and I want that selection to print to the
screen when I click a button, how do I access that selection in the
button code?

thanks

Apologies, these methods in the development version but not in current
release. Take a look at samples/sugar_sample.rb as a starting point.

I’ve updated the Wiki so it’s not out of line.

You should find reasonably thorough RDoc documentation installed with
the gem, or have a look at lib/wx_sugar.rb for an overview of the
functionality.

This is probably more a question about object-oriented design of GUI
apps, and of event handling in particular. As others have suggested, the
wxruby-users list is likely the best place to discuss how this is done
in wxruby.
