Dear all I want to use the canvas in Fxruby to draw something like a circle. Then I want to use mouse to control it like left click it and then I can move it to somewhere. Also I want to achieve the function like if I rightclick on some object, I want to delete it. I can not figure out how to implement this. Could anybody help me? Thanks in advance… Hank ---

You might want to ask this question on the Fox and FXRuby lists. If you get an answer on the Fox list, it will probably be in C++, but it’s usually not too hard to translate to FXRuby. The lists are: foxgui-users AT [lists.sourceforge.net](http://lists.sourceforge.net) fxruby-users AT [rubyforge.org](http://rubyforge.org) You probably have to sign up for them on the web sites, before you can post.
