As stated in the introduction, this guide is not about the detail of the fxruby widgets - it is about using foxGUIb to
create them. The following table is set out like the Widget Selector area in foxGUIb. It is linked to information
about each widget. For most of them, we suggest example programs to look at in Lyle Johnson's
documentation, at http://www.fxruby.org/doc/book.html.
For layout widgets, we provide information on how to manipulate them with foxGUIb.
