I wish Ruby let one specify properties of an object when it is created,
like Python, Boo, or C# 3.0. I've heard such syntax is being considered
for a future version.
I wanted to see how close I could get using current features of the Ruby
language. I found that a single property could be set using syntax like
the following:
(btnAdd = Button.new).Text = "&Add"
Multiple properties could be set using a hash and the eval method with
syntax like the following:
tlp = TableLayoutPanel.new
{"ColumnCount" => 3, "RowCount" => 2}.each_pair {|property, value|
eval("tlp.#{property} = #{value}")}
Readability is definately sacrificed in the latter case, so the lines of
code saved may not be worth it!
