Wx::GridCellChoiceEditor get selected string

Desktop wxRuby

Hi,

I’m using a Wx::GridCellChoiceEditor within a Wx:grid. I have it
displaying as it should, but I now need to do something when a user
selects a string. The only likely looking event I can find is
evt_grid_cell_change. evt_grid_cell_change is calling the method I
defined when I click off the choice box, assuming the choice changed.
This is fine.

What I need to do, is get the newly selected item (or preferably

some client data asssociated with it) how do I do that? I can’t see any
likley methods, and inspecting the generated event is useless…

I currently have:

# Set up the event
evt_grid_cell_change {|event| cell_change(event)}

#Set up the rows, there is more to this, but it's just putting

values in cells…
@characters.each do |char|
weapons = Wx::GridCellChoiceEditor.new(char.weapons_list)
@grid.insert_rows
@grid.set_cell_editor(0,1,weapons)
end

#The method run when the selection changes
def cell_change(event)
  row = event.get_row
  character = Character.find_by_name(@grid.get_cell_value(row,0))
  character.held_weapon = ???
end

What do I need to put in the ??? . As I said, ??? should ideally be

the string selected, or some data associated with it…

Thanks

I re-read my email when it hit the list. I noticed a bit of code on the
line above where I was asking about, and thought, I wonder…

Turns out I was seriously over thinking it…

def cell_change(event)
row = event.get_row
character = Character.find_by_name(@grid.get_cell_value(row,0))
character.held_weapon = @grid.get_cell_value(row,1)
end

Does the trick quite nicely. Doh.
