Thanks John,

Yes the simple example works OK.
My controller looks like this:


class DisclaimerController < NSWindowController

   attr_accessor :showAgain

   def exitButtonAction(sender)
      NSLog("Disclaimer Window: exit button clicked")
   end

   

   def startButtonAction(sender)
      NSLog("Disclaimer Window: start button clicked")
   end

   

   def toggleShowAgainAction(sender)
      NSLog("Disclaimer Window: toggle checkbox clicked")
      p @showAgain.state
      p @showAgain.title
      active = (@showAgain.state == NSOnState)
      if (active) then
         NSLog("Disclaimer Window: toggle switched to Selected")
      else
         NSLog("Disclaimer Window: toggle switched to Unselected")
      end
   end

end


And the output looks like this:


2009-07-08 18:47:08.324 xxxx[610:10b] Disclaimer NIB loaded
2009-07-08 18:47:10.658 xxxx[610:10b] Disclaimer Window: toggle checkbox clicked
0
"Do not show this warning again."
2009-07-08 18:47:10.659 xxxx[610:10b] Disclaimer Window: toggle switched to Unselected
2009-07-08 18:47:11.570 xxxx[610:10b] Disclaimer Window: toggle checkbox clicked
0
"Do not show this warning again."
2009-07-08 18:47:11.571 xxxx[610:10b] Disclaimer Window: toggle switched to Unselected
2009-07-08 18:47:12.690 xxxx[610:10b] Disclaimer Window: toggle checkbox clicked


As you can see the "toggleShowAgainAction" is activated, and the checkbox is linked to "showAgain".
PS: The checkbox has the title "Do not show this warning again." 

(Sometimes I wish I had chosen a different profession, VBG!)

Hi Marinus / Rien,

I just did a quick test, given a nib with window and a controller ruby file.

1. I dragged a checkbox NSButton onto the window
2. i created an attr_accessor :check in my controller
3. I created a method called test_check in my controller:

 def test_check(sender)
   p @check.state
 end

4. I linked @check and the test_check method to the checkbox

And when i click on an off the checkbox the state toggles between 0 and 1.

So I do not think it is an issue MacRuby - could you try something simple like the above?

How were you polling the check box state? That is: which method is status = @myCheckbox.state in?
Perhaps this method is not being called.

Cheers,
John

Hi All,

First post, so a little bit about me: I am a SW engineer and have been one
for over 20 years, increadible as that may sound. I have programmed on the
Mac before in Ada95, Obj-C and Java (but I have had a pause of about 5
years from the Mac). Now that MacRuby seems to gain some foothold I'd like
to get back to the mac and make the jump from Obj-C to MacRuby.

I work in Xcode, and have just started a new MacRuby Core-Data Application.

The first goings look good, but in implementing my first window controller
I ran into a (little?) problem: I cannot get the state of a checkbox:

status = @myCheckbox.state

always returns a Fixnum with value 0. regardless of the visual
representation of the checkbox (i.e. selected or not)

The checkbox should be mapped correctly because:

myTitle = @myCheckbox.title

does indeed give me the title I set in the IB.
I checked the archives but did not find any discussions about this.
There was something about checkboxes and hotcocoa, but I do not use hotcocoa.

The best solution would be a simple stupid mistake on my part :-)

Any takers?

Regards,
Rien.
