Tk::Iwidgets::Scrolledhtml render problem

Ruby
1

I want a frame to pop up with this in it. $tbodytext is my var of html
code. I did check the var before and after the render call, and it is
correct (i know i should not use globa vars but its my first TK
program and need to access info every where. I can also post my full
code (other then render it works, and u just need tk and the gmailer
library.)

So the question is, can it not render the string i pass it? If i set
static text it displays that. i could save it to a file then read the
file , but i dont really want to do that.

$tbody_root=TkRoot.new
$tbody_frame_over = TkToplevel.new($root){}
$tbody_frame_over.withdraw

#the $Account is a gmail count, this gets the email info
localtext=""+$Account.msg(temp).dt_easy + " subject:
" + $Account.msg(temp).subject
localtext=localtext+ " Body: "
localtext=localtext+ test
$tbodytexts=(localtext+"").to_s
p $tbodytexts
x = (200)
y = (200)
$tbody_frame_over.geometry("+#{x+1}+#{y+1}")
$tbody_frame_over.deiconify
$tbody_frame_over.raise

cut out code

TkFrame.new($tbody_frame_over){
tkbodys=Tk::Iwidgets::Scrolledhtml.new(self){ }.pack “side”=>“top”
tkbodys.height=200
tt=$tbodytexts
tkbodys.render(tt)
TkButton.new(self) {
text “ok”
command {
$tbody_frame_over.withdraw
}}.pack “side”=>“bottom”
}.pack “side”=>“left”

I was trying every combination of anything, and this works. dont know
what but it does.

I moved the elements of the frame up to the top instead of making a
new frame, and moved the render to the call that makes it visable.
Also i save the text to a temp file. I didnt want to do this, but it
works.

Still any ideas would be welcome.

$tbody_root=TkRoot.new
$tbody_frame_over = TkToplevel.new($root){
$gtkbodys=Tk::Iwidgets::Scrolledhtml.new(self){ }.pack “side”=>“top”
$gtkbodys.height=200
TkButton.new(self) {
text “ok”
command {
$tbody_frame_over.withdraw
}}.pack “side”=>“bottom”
}
$tbody_frame_over.withdraw

$gtkbodys.render($tbodytexts)

I couldn’t re-generate your problem.
When did you call “Tk.mainloop”?
“Tk.update” is sometimes helpful to fix some cases of drawing troubles.
