[Plugin] Ruby Toolbar

Jim - A wee bug I found.

The Show/Hide Ruby Console toolbar:
If you have the toolbar floating, it'll be floating in a toolbar named "Ruby Console" - which means the Show/Hide method also closes the toolbar.

Jim

Ok, thanks Thomthom. I guess the Win32 functions were finding the toolbar instead of the actual Ruby Console?

Anyway, made that changes, and a few other minor ones:

Thanks Jim, and happy new year.

Thank you, and a happy new year to you.

I am not sure if I should continue to include Win32API.so file with this plugin? Win32API.so is obsolete and we hope to be moving to something better in the near future.

Because you also need Win32API.so in the Plugins folder to run a few tools like this on a PC.
It does say on the download page:

Make sure you get the version to suit your SUp version.
There are some useful docs too... IF you want to dabble with the dark-arts of these .so files... BUT please learn the basics first...
While you are at it, also get Win32OLE.so - as I suspect you'll need it later when you get more adventurous...

Both files are included in the "so" zips, I posted.

(However, those are the only source object files from the Ruby distro, that are included.)
