Hi All,

Hi All,

I’m a newbie at ruby GUI. I learning how to append a page in the  
notebook on the fly by attaching a function to a button. The idea is to  
add/delete a page everytime I press the button. By using this way, I  
could delete a page in the notebook on the fly but I couldn’t add a page  
in the notebook on the fly. Anybody know how to add the page in the  
notebook on the fly? I didn’t receive any error message but I didn’t see  
any new page added to the notebook.

Below are the methods that I used to remove/add page to the notebook:

def remove\_book( button, notebook )  
page = notebook.page  
notebook.remove\_page( page )  
end

def add\_book( button, notebook)  
checkbutton = Gtk::Button.new( “Check me please!” )  
label = Gtk::Label.new( “Add Page” )  
notebook.insert\_page( 2, checkbutton, label)  
end

Thanks for your input.

Try:

def add\_book( button, notebook)  
checkbutton = Gtk::Button.new( “Check me please!” )  
label = Gtk::Label.new( “Add Page” )  
notebook.insert\_page( 2, checkbutton, label)

checkbutton.show  
label.show  
end

best,  
Dan
