Hi Brad,
That worked! Many thanks for putting me in the right path and next time I will read the documentation twice!
Cheers,
Pedro.

Sorry few typos in there, the only one that really matters is that the method call should be:

icon.drawInRect(rect, fromRect:NSZeroRect, operation:NSCompositeSourceOver, fraction:1.0)

I think there's a problem with your method call. If you look at the cocoa doc is has a selector with the signature:
drawInRect:fromRect:operation:fraction.

To call that from MacRuby you'd want to do something like:
icon.drawInRect(rect, fromRect:NSZeroRect, operationNSCompositeSourceOver, fraction:1.0.

See the way the named arguments line up? That'll work for any cocoa call. There's some discussion on the MacRuby tutorial under "Sending Messages" at http://www.macruby.org/trac/wiki/MacRubyTutorial


Another tip I got from somebody on the list:
object.methods(true, true) will give you a list of all methods on an object, including objective-c methods. That might help in future if you're not sure what the method call should be.

Hope that helps.

Brad

Hi everybody,

This is my first message to the mailing list, I am a newbie in Cocoa so please bear with me...

In my first serious MacRuby project, I have subclassed NSTextFieldCell and I have redefined drawInteriorWithFrame with the following code:

        def drawInteriorWithFrame( rect, inView:view )
                
                icon = NSImage.imageNamed( "example" )
                
                puts icon.methods.join( " " )
                puts "icon is valid: #{icon.isValid} and has size #{icon.size}"
                
                icon.drawInRect( rect, NSZeroRect, NSCompositeSourceOver, 1.0 )
        
        end

(i.e: I am just trying to draw an icon)

Here is what I get from the console:

Can anybody please give me a hint of what I am doing wrong? Shouldn't I expect my instance of NSImage to respond to :drawInRect?

And by the way,  thanks a lot for this sweet MacRuby project !!
Cheers,
Pedro.
