WinForms

Events

System.Windows.Forms.Form needs an IronRuby subclass that inherits from it. This is to allow attaching methods to the events that are declared protected.

>>> require "System.Windows.Forms"
=> true
>>> include System::Windows::Forms
=> Object
>>> class RForm < Form
>>> end
=> nil
>>> f = RForm.new
=> IronRuby.Classes.Form$1, Text:

Setup the procs to be called and bind to names so we can add and remove them from the events later.

>>> ome = proc {|sender, e| puts "Enter"}
=> #(Proc:0x0@)
>>> oml = proc {|sender, e| puts "Leave"}
=> #(Proc:0x1@)
>>> f.mouse_enter(&ome)
=> #(Proc:0x0@)
>>> f.mouse_leave(&oml)
=> #(Proc:0x1@)

Setup the message pump to start the form and watch the action.

>>> Application.run(f)

This will setup the the on_mouse_enter and on_mouse_leave events to be called, show the form, display text out on the console when events fire.

Note: Do all the declaration first as the message pump handling is a blocking operation.
