on_action needs to point to a block: :on_action{l.text = "some text"} or :on_action => :do_stuff def do_stuff Proc.new { puts "stuff" } end You can also do: :on_action => method(:do_stuff) Which I believe won't require a block in your method. - Matt On Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 1:39 AM, Frisco Del Rosario < friscodelrosario@sbcglobal.net> wrote:

I found I could fix one problem by moving the label and button declarations outside the layout_view block:

w = window(:title => "Window", :size => [300,150])

l = label(:text_align => :center, :text => "", :layout => {:expand => [:width, :height], :align => "center"}) btn = button(:title => "put some text in the label", :layout => {:align => "center"})

lv = layout_view :frame => [0,0,280,130], :layout => {:expand => [:width, :height], :align => :center, :start => true} do |view| view << l view << btn end

w << lv

And then the button#on_action parameter has to be in braces:

btn.on_action{l.text = "some text"} _______________________________________________ MacRuby-devel mailing list MacRuby-devel@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macruby-devel
