Re: [perl-win32-gui-hackers] GUI 1.0.0 ?

[Johan L. <johanl@DarSerMan.com>]

The mouse movement problem was related to the parameters to the mouse 
movement and click event handlers. In earlier versions the first param was 
kind of unused (or at least undocumented), and I guess it was removed in 
this version.

I'll just branch on version <= 0.9 to get that to work, no biggie.

Currently I don't do anything. I guess something happened to the default 
action of the Window _Terminate event.

I can work around this, so that in itself doesn't break TGL sufficiently to 
not release 1.0. But the problem is still there. What happens is this:

The main window disappears for no reason (perhaps _Terminate returns -1 and 
exits the event loop) and this is spewed:
Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at 
C:/appl/dev/mod_perl/Perl/site
/lib/Win32/GUI.pm line 2712 during global destruction.

That in the the Win32::GUI::DC DESTROY. The $self at that point is an empty 
hash ref object.

With a little print statements in new and DESTROY, I can see that DC 
objects are created and destroyed a LOT for some reason. Maybe something is 
painted.

I don't have time to debug more right now, but I'll check it out.

I suppose I should release a version of TGL that works with both Win32::GUI 
pre and post 0.9 before we unleash 1.0 on the public. I'm away tomorrow and 
Saturday, but maybe on Sunday.
