Hi Marinus / Rien,

I just did a quick test, given a nib with window and a controller ruby file.

1. I dragged a checkbox NSButton onto the window
2. i created an attr_accessor :check in my controller
3. I created a method called test_check in my controller:

  def test_check(sender)
    p @check.state
  end

4. I linked @check and the test_check method to the checkbox

And when i click on an off the checkbox the state toggles between 0 and 1.

So I do not think it is an issue MacRuby - could you try something simple like the above?

How were you polling the check box state? That is: which method is status = @myCheckbox.state in?
Perhaps this method is not being called.

Cheers,
John

Hi All,

First post, so a little bit about me: I am a SW engineer and have been one for over 20 years, increadible as that may sound. I have programmed on the
Mac before in Ada95, Obj-C and Java (but I have had a pause of about 5
years from the Mac). Now that MacRuby seems to gain some foothold I'd like
to get back to the mac and make the jump from Obj-C to MacRuby.

I work in Xcode, and have just started a new MacRuby Core-Data Application.

The first goings look good, but in implementing my first window controller
I ran into a (little?) problem: I cannot get the state of a checkbox:

status = @myCheckbox.state

always returns a Fixnum with value 0. regardless of the visual
representation of the checkbox (i.e. selected or not)

The checkbox should be mapped correctly because:

myTitle = @myCheckbox.title

does indeed give me the title I set in the IB.
I checked the archives but did not find any discussions about this.
There was something about checkboxes and hotcocoa, but I do not use hotcocoa.

The best solution would be a simple stupid mistake on my part :-)

Any takers?

Regards,
Rien.
