Got the problem to run example in "ch17-02-trait-objects"

[wisonye]

Hi there, I'm following the official book tutorial to go through all Rust concept, but I'm stopped on the topic of

Using Trait Objects That Allow for Values of Different Types

I put all the code together below and try to run and have a look:

pub trait Draw {
    fn draw(&self);
}

pub struct Screen<T: Draw> {
    pub components: Vec<T>,
}

impl<T> Screen<T>
where
    T: Draw,
{
    pub fn run(&self) {
        for component in self.components.iter() {
            component.draw();
        }
    }
}

pub struct Button {
    pub width: u32,
    pub height: u32,
    pub label: String,
}

impl Draw for Button {
    fn draw(&self) {
        // code to actually draw a button
    }
}

fn main() {
    struct SelectBox {
        width: u32,
        height: u32,
        options: Vec<String>,
    }

    impl Draw for SelectBox {
        fn draw(&self) {
            // code to actually draw a select box
        }
    }

    let screen = Screen {
        components: vec![
            Box::new(SelectBox {
                width: 75,
                height: 10,
                options: vec![
                    String::from("Yes"),
                    String::from("Maybe"),
                    String::from("No"),
                ],
            }),
            Box::new(Button {
                width: 50,
                height: 10,
                label: String::from("OK"),
            }),
        ],
    };

    screen.run();
}

But I can't compile it, and the error is quite confusing me, as I thought the official example should compile and run:

   --> src/main.rs:210:22
    |
210 |               Box::new(Button {
    |  ______________________^
211 | |                 width: 50,
212 | |                 height: 10,
213 | |                 label: String::from("OK"),
214 | |             }),
    | |_____________^ expected struct `main::SelectBox`, found struct `Button`

error[E0277]: the trait bound `std::boxed::Box<main::SelectBox>: Draw` is not satisfied
   --> src/main.rs:199:18
    |
159 | pub struct Screen<T: Draw> {
    | -------------------------- required by `Screen`
...
199 |     let screen = Screen {
    |                  ^^^^^^ the trait `Draw` is not implemented for `std::boxed::Box<main::SelectB
ox>`

error[E0599]: no method named `run` found for struct `Screen<std::boxed::Box<main::SelectBox>>` in t
he current scope
   --> src/main.rs:218:12
    |
159 | pub struct Screen<T: Draw> {
    | -------------------------- method `run` not found for this
...
218 |     screen.run();
    |            ^^^ method not found in `Screen<std::boxed::Box<main::SelectBox>>`
    |
    = note: the method `run` exists but the following trait bounds were not satisfied:
            `std::boxed::Box<main::SelectBox> : Draw`

error: aborting due to 3 previous errors

How to solve it actually? plz
