[MacRuby-devel] windowControllerDidLoadNib strangeness

[Tom Jordan]

Thanks Guys !  I just created a new project and it worked..  Now I'm going
to bring in my files from the other project and see if I can find where it
breaks..
I'm also using the MRGraphics library at:
https://github.com/mattetti/macruby_graphics

It works great to quickly get a custom graphics view going, although I have
noticed some strangeness with IB..
in that whenever I add new widgets to the top level (and only) nib,
I need to delete the custom view that has the MRgraphics, and repaste it
back in, and reconnect it,
or else the newly added widgets won't show up in the build (until you mouse
over to where they're supposed to be and click..
in which case they will appear (sometimes partially if it's a matrix, for
example), and even then they won't function right).

It drove me crazy until I found out that deleting the custom view and
repasting it worked..  although I don't know what I'm going to do
once I need to have more than one custom view and keep adding widgets, etc..
I just wanted to mention this in case
anyone has seen this before.

I'm running 10.6 on a Mac Pro.. which I believe it's 64-bit..
I need to get a Github account or something so that I can post a full
project if need be..

This is a great resource, I appreciate the help.. thanks !

Regards,

Tom Jordan
