Tim, Mario,

Thanks for your informative input. I think I’ll stick to trying to
learn wxruby. I will try learning to code everything manually. I’ll
follow the online tutorials and decipher the examples as best as I can.
Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

No problem… and if it helps, feel free to post code and questions
here.

I, too, am using DialogBlocks and xrcise with my apps and am still
relatively new to wxRuby, but I’ll be more than happy to help out any
way I can…

Cheers,
Tim

Your quite welcome for the input. If you have any questions about how
Widgets work, and so on, feel free to ask, as one of us devs, or another
user on the Mailing List, will be more then happy to help you out with
it.
Examples is the best way to learn how things work within wxRuby, as it
is
pretty much as it’s shown there. It does take some time to learn, but
don’t
get discouraged so easily. As Tim has pointed out, other toolkits are
hard
to work with, and some are not even fully cross-platform, or are a
headache
to deploy in any case.
Another nice thing that you will have with wxRuby, compared with other
Toolkits, is the users, we have a Chat room wxruby on irc.freenode.net,
we
have the Mailing List, and we consider ourselvs a very helpful bunch,
even
to those who are new not to just wxRuby, but new to Ruby itself to. Not
very many other Toolkits can say the same.

Good luck with your learning experince, and again, ask any questions you
may
have, and feel free to look through our Mailing List Archives, there’s
quite
a bit of information that has been discussed in the past over the
mailing
list, that can be easily looked through.

L8ers,
