There is an example that comes with FXRuby that might help you:  
examples/mdi.rb.

If that doesn’t answer your question, come on back and ask it here;  
there’s plenty of folks around who can help.

There’s also the fxruby users list. See [http://www.fxruby.org](http://www.fxruby.org) to find  
out how to subscribe.

Sure, this one is about as simple as I can make it:

require ‘fox16’

include Fox

class ScrollWindow \< FXMainWindow  
def initialize(\*args)  
super

```
 scroll_window = FXScrollWindow.new(self, 

```

LAYOUT\_FILL\_X|LAYOUT\_FILL\_Y)  
matrix = FXMatrix.new(scroll\_window, 2, MATRIX\_BY\_COLUMNS)  
100.times do |i|  
FXLabel.new(matrix, “foo”)  
FXLabel.new(matrix, “bar”)  
end  
end

def create  
super  
show  
end  
end

class ScrollApp \< FXApp  
def initialize  
super(“Scroll”, “TEST”)  
ScrollWindow.new(self, “Scroll”)  
end  
end

app = ScrollApp.new  
app.create  
app.run
