I really haven’t had the need to create such applications yet. The insteresting thing about RuGUI is that it doesn’t really add limits to what you can do. Anything you can do with Ruby/GTK (a.k.a, Ruby/Gnome) you can do with RuGUI, only you will need to write less code, and you code will be more organized.

I’ve found this tutorial in python, but I couldn’t found an simple example in Ruby. In the Ruby/Gnome site there is this page, but it seemed so complex that I cannot believe it was designed for Ruby, which have always a simple way to do things. If you have had any experience building gnome-panel applets in Ruby/GTK, please share with us.

Cheers,

Yes, it would be better if we speak in english, so that others may follow us.

Regarding your question, you may take a look at the markup_translator, which has an about dialog that works just like that. Here is an example:

./script/generate view my_dialog_view

This will create a view named MyDialogView, with a glade file my_dialog_view.glade. Just open the glade file in glade3 and setup your widgets there. You may use one of the dialog widgets (which inherits from Gtk::Dialog). Then, register this view in the MainController (or in other controller if you want), and add code to open the dialog (here it will open when the hello_button is clicked):


class MainController < RuGUI::BaseController
def setup_views
register_view :main_view
register_view :my_dialog_view
end


on :hello_button, 'clicked' do
response = self.my_dialog_view.dialog.run
# do something with the response here
end
end


That´s it, questions are always welcome.
