Re: [MacRuby-devel] Using Virtus or SmartProperty as outlets?
I think that discussions about validation of user entered data need to consider how you provide feedback to the user on what happened. Have you thought about how validation errors are integrated with Cocoa frameworks? I don't know anything about Virtus or SmartProperties but I would be surprised if they buy you anything when used in conjunction with a Cocoa user interface. Cocoa provides formatters. Take a look at "Text Field with Number Formatter" in the Xcode controls.

Re: [MacRuby-devel] Using Virtus or SmartProperty as outlets?
Hmm… I didn't think of either of those. I knew I was missing something obvious! A case of missing the wood for the trees, I think. :-) Thanks, Colin and Steve! /Carolyn On Nov 22, 2012, at 4:51 AM, Steve Clarke wrote: > I think that discussions about validation of user entered data need to > consider how you provide feedback to the user on what happened. > > Have you thought about how validation errors are integrated with Cocoa > frameworks?

[MacRuby-devel] A QtRuby Version of The GC2 Client has Been Created
http://cl.ly/image/2w0P1X3H1v3T http://cl.ly/image/3Q3j260q1s1F Want to report success using QtRuby library with the qtbindings gem. Internally, Able to use Signals and Slots through the advanced techniques described around the web. Now have a working version of the chat available in the GlobalChat2 repository. https://github.com/jsilverMDX/GlobalChat2/tree/master/gc2-qtruby It runs on 1.8.7 and 1.9.3. It lacks many of the features of the advanced MacRuby client coming soon to App Store. It uses QtDesigner for the GUI files with the UI loader and should run natively on Mac, Windows and Linux. However, one thing. The MacRuby client is DAYS faster getting a big log back from the server than QtRuby, and the signal is obviously not to blame. This happens on both 1.9 and 1.8.7. Any ideas?
