Thank you all for your suggestions. They've been most helpful. I think i've
mostly wrapped my head around event handlers. Here's one last question.
What's the best way to test if a given object is an event? Obviously the
way below: (object.GetType.get_event("EventName") != nil) is one way, but is
there a more efficient (more rubonic) way?
I've tried:
button = Button.new
button.click # => IronRuby.Builtins.RubyEvent
# I cant test against IronRuby::Builtins::RubyEvent, because it's not
defined
button.click.is_a?(System::EventHandler)
# error, about TypeGroups
button.click.is_a?(System::EventHandler[]) # false
As an aside, I looked at the changelog for, 0.9.0 and saw this:
2) Implements TypeGroup#[] overload taking a Fixnum. This is useful
when one
needs to select a generic type definition out of a group of
types. For example,
given three classes C:
public class C {
public virtual int Arity { get { return 0; } }
}
public class C<T> {
public virtual int Arity { get { return 1; } }
}
public class C<T,S> {
public virtual int Arity { get { return 2; } }
}
p C[0] # => C
p C[1] # => C[T]
p C[2] # => C[T, S]
However, this fails:
System::EventHandler[0] # invalid value for class: 0
You guys have been super helpful. It's really great to see such an active
and great community forming around IronRuby.
Thanks,
Martin
