> Lyle, could you please fix this bug, it's impossible to subclass anything in > FXRuby right now: That's a bit of an overstatement; at a minimum, every example program in the FXRuby distribution subclasses FXMainWindow, and some do more than that. What is it that you're actually trying to accomplish? There's a chance that you don't even need to subclass any of the FOX widgets to do what you want. If it turns out that it is actually necessary for you to subclass FXFrame and call its version of onPaint(), I am working on a fix for that bug for an upcoming release. BTW, I don't mind you posting these kinds of requests to the general Ruby newsgroup but would request that you at least Cc me in an e-mail. I *do* read comp.lang.ruby most every day (as all good Ruby programmers do ;) but a direct e-mail is probably a more reliable route.
