Hey Lance,
There is a problem with Multi-Threading that you may not
realize, Ruby
uses Green Threads, which means, that Ruby is the one in
control of all
the threads. It contains the code that actually creates a
"Virtual
Thread", that only the Ruby Interpreter knows about.
wxRuby, or rather
wxWidgets in general, uses OS Thread creation. wxRuby
currently does
not implement the wxThread class, cause the Ruby interpreter
(Atleast as
of 1.8 series) is not Thread compliant. But there are ways
around that,
and I've posted a tutorial, as previously mentioned twice
now, that
shows a work around, that will allow you to work with wxRuby
and Ruby's
green threads.
But yea, there are problems, and work arounds to make some
things work.
L8ers,
Mario Steele
