Hang on leopard

Desktop wxRuby
1

Hello …

I’m a newbie to ruby and wxruby.

I’m trying to
create 1 frame (the app) that creates 2 dialog boxes. Each dialog box
has wxtextctrl, and 1 dialog class has 1 thread and the other has 2
threads.

At first, I suspect the problem is with the thread
interaction between ruby and wxwidget. I spent countless hours to try
to figure out why the hang. Yes, I know the trick to use the Timer
class to work …

Just out of curiosity, I tried to run the same
code with no changes on Windows XP running under Parallels on my
Leopard, and to my surprise, it works like a champ …

Any advise on what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Why are you using separate threads - what sort of work is being done in
the subordinate threads? Is it the GUI that is hanging, or the non-GUI
tasks?

I would definitely not advise running wxRuby GUI code outside the main
GUI thread.

Hard to say anything further without seeing a short working example.
