I am having issues with the userptr in Ncurses Panel. The C program I converted from runs fine on my system. (http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/panels.html - the one that takes tabs to travel through 3 panels). I wrote it in ruby, the 3 panels display fine, but the program terminates on tabbing with no message. I feel the issue lies in the userptr - I have no samples to go on. Can someone check this out. I tried both these variations: Ncurses::Panel.set_panel_userptr(my_panels[0], my_panels[1]); Ncurses::Panel.set_panel_userptr(my_panels[1], my_panels[2]); Ncurses::Panel.set_panel_userptr(my_panels[2], my_panels[0]); #my_panels[0].set_panel_userptr( my_panels[1]); #my_panels[1].set_panel_userptr( my_panels[2]); #my_panels[2].set_panel_userptr( my_panels[0]); Later on tabbing my code is: when 9: top = Ncurses::Panel.panel_userptr(top); Ncurses::Panel.top_panel(top); break; Thanks in advance.
