I've been getting kinda stuck with Fox on 1.6.8 working on an app with
similar interface components (inc trees and MDI) - an qualitative data
analysis app. Today I've been looking at wXRuby as a possible
replacement, and I thought it might be of interest.
The binary downloads worked easily with the 1.8.1 Ruby installer ruby.
The tree demonstration is comprehensive, and the simple MDI example does
feel a bit slicker than Fox - for example, nice cascading of
successively opened documents.
There are some missing classes (HTML is one I was hoping for), but it's
reasonably documented; wxWidgets (the underlying library) also seems to
have some more discursive docs, which I like - eg
http://www.wxwidgets.org/manuals/2.4.2/wx485.htm#wxtreectrloverview
It also all worked very easily with a recent exerb when packaged up
(along with sqlite) into a single .exe on Windows.
cheers
