Hi All,

I’m following the excellent tutorial at [http://www.fxruby.org/doc/:](http://www.fxruby.org/doc/:)  
– clipboardtut.html  
– ch04s02.html  
– ch04s03.html

In the latter page, the author adds the following to  
ClipMainWindow#initialize:

# Handle clipboard request

self.connect(SEL\_CLIPBOARD\_REQUEST) do  
setDNDData(FROM\_CLIPBOARD, FXWindow.stringType,  
Fox.fxencodeStringData(@clippedCustomer.to\_s))  
end

The Ruby interpreter says:  
undefined method `connect’ for ClipMainWindow:Class (NoMethodError)

The ClipMainWindow class has no such method. Neither does its super  
class,  
FXMainWindow, according to  
[http://fox-toolkit.org/ref/classFX\_1\_1FXMainWindow.html](http://fox-toolkit.org/ref/classFX_1_1FXMainWindow.html)  
(as I understand it.)

What am I missing?

Thanks in Advance,  
Richard

I mis-spoke. It’s the clipboard example, not drag and drop. Sorry.

Hi All,

False alarm: I actually had a syntax error that was not yet noticed  
by the interpreter. So I misinterpreted the symptom.

My apologies,  
Richard
