Ruby GTK Blocks

As I was exploring gtk in ruby I found myself frustrated with the inability to create nested widgets in equally nested code. Such as:

          $main = Gtk::Window.new

          $main << Gtk::HBox.new do |b|

            b << Gtk::Button.new(“click me”)

            b << Gtk::VBox.new do |v|

              … etc etc

            end

          end

          

No problem, eigenclasses to the rescue! I just add this simple thing (to a lib or just the beginning of my file):

          class << Gtk::Widget

            def new *args, &block

              x = super

              yield x if block

              x

            end

          end
