To make this a lot easier for the ones of us using Ubuntu, I added IronRuby to my Ubuntu-repository. Read more about how to set it up here:
http://wiki.kaspernj.org/index.php/KnjUbuntuRepository
Afterwards do a: “sudo aptitude install ironruby glade libgtk2.0-cil libglade2.0-cil”.
While you are at it, install “glade” (”glade-3″ if you are using Jaunty, I think). Make a new project folder – I have called mine “IronRubyTest”. Make a small Glade-file (not GtkBuilder) with a label and a button. Remember the names – I called mine “window1″, “label1″ and “button1″.
To load the Glade-file, we have to import some modules first. To get the names of the modules, type “gacutil -l | grep gtk” and “gacutil -l | grep glade”. Type this in the beginning of your Ruby-code:
require "gtk-sharp, Version=2.12.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f"
require "glade-sharp, Version=2.12.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f"
Be aware you properly have to use the lines, that you got from the “gacutil grep”-command.Its possible that yours can be different. Then type this afterwards in the Ruby-file:
include Gtk
include Glade
We are now ready to begin coding our class:
class MainWindow
def initialize
Application.init
tha_glade = Glade::XML.new("test.glade", "window1", nil)
end
end
Notice the “Application.init” – I guess this is to init the Gtk-stuff, like you would do in other languages when you are using Gtk.
The GladeXML-object is stored in the “tha_glade”-variable. “window1″ is the name of the Window, which can be set through Glade.
...
tha_window = tha_glade.GetWidget("window1")
tha_window.ShowAll
tha_window.destroyed{|sender, e|
Application.Quit
}
tha_button = tha_glade.GetWidget("button1")
tha_button.clicked{|sender, e|
tha_window.destroy
}
...
We store the GtkWindow in the “tha_window” variable. Afterwards we attach some code to the destroy-event – we actually make the application kill itself, when we close the Window.
Further more we store the GtkButton in the “tha_button” variable. Afterwards we make the button close the window – which calls the other event and kills the application.
main_window = MainWindow.new
Application.run
The code here is placed at the very end of the file – not included in any function or class. This start our MainWindow-class, loads the window and everything and starts a loop, so our application doesnt end itself after loading the window and all.
The entire code can be seen here:
require "gtk-sharp, Version=2.12.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f"
require "glade-sharp, Version=2.12.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f"
include Gtk
include Glade
class MainWindow
def initialize
Application.init
tha_glade = Glade::XML.new("test.glade", "window", nil)
tha_window = tha_glade.GetWidget("window")
tha_window.ShowAll
tha_window.destroyed{|sender, e|
Application.quit
}
tha_button = tha_glade.GetWidget("button1")
tha_button.clicked{|sender, e|
tha_window.destroy
}
end
def on_button1_clicked(object, event)
print "hmm\n"
end
end
main_window = MainWindow.new
Application.run
