Need an extra EAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASY GUI for Ruby

[Victor Reyes]

Way back when, I used to write GUI programs using CA-Realizer, VB and REXX.
To create a widget, for example a drop-down box, I used to just "grab"
the icon representing the object and then "drop" it where I wanted it.
I have been searching for something similar for Ruby but can't find it.
Do anyone know if there is such package for Ruby?

Thank you

Victor

Hello,

Do anyone know if there is such package for Ruby?

Simply use the Ruby/GTK2-Bindings and Libglade2 with the Glade GUI Designer:

There's visualWx which can create Ruby code representing a wxWidgets
GUI. It's still in development and a bit rough on the edges, but it
already looks very promising: http://visualwx.altervista.org/

QtRuby/Korundum can be used with Qt Designer to design the GUI for Qt and
KDE apps. You can then either generate ruby code from the .ui files
produced with the rbuic tool, or read the UI in at runtime with the 'qui'
extension. Qt Designer support is integrated with ruby projects in the next
version of the KDevelop IDE.

If you are on Windows and are willing to play with minimal
documentation, you have FormDesigner for VisualuRuby:

Thank you all for your quick responses. I guess I have many choices to
play with.

You might want to check out widestudio.org.
Its a portable toolkit across C/C++, Ruby, Perl and Python.
The documentation is good so theres a definite plus.
Also it has its own Free GUI designer, and it doesn't require any
license drag because its unde the MIT/X. Its very easy to get work
done. Drag drop, open procedure window, add procedure and code.
