RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Accelerator bug?

[Glenn W M. <gw...@fo...>]

Just out of interest, is anybody really using the NEM? Are there any
major advantages to it? I admit it is quite elegant to have a one-line
subroutine defined as an -event option, but in practice, most event
handlers will consist of more code than I would like to define that way
and the handler would just end up being another subroutine call.

IMHO, the two major advances in this module recently have been
accelerators and hooks (I'd say we're approaching GUI nirvana), so if at
least one of them doesn't work in NEM, that knocks it on the head for
me.

Glenn,

Sorry for the delay, I was not monitoring this email address from 1/15 
until now.


On approximately 1/16/2004 8:28 AM, came the following characters from
the keyboard of Glenn W Munroe:

Indeed, I think it is just a missing feature in NEM.  When I looked at 
the code inside Win32::GUI for accelerators, I was able to figure out 
and fix accelerators for OEM, but I think NEM has much more code that 
simply isn't there for accelerators.  This is one reason I am still 
using OEM.  (OEM = Old Event Model, when it takes a break from meaning 
Original Equipment Manufacturer :) )
