Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] How to manage objects within a window?

[Laurent R. <ro...@cl...>]

1. Yes, you can set location with:
    -top
    -left
    -width
    -height  
  or :
    -pos => [top, left]
    -size => [width, height]

2. You have a grid mamager (Win32::GUI::GridLayout) in Win32::GUI.

see : http://search.cpan.org/src/ACALPINI/Win32-GUI-0.0.558/docs/html/gui.html

Or, you can use GUI Loft.
It's a framework with a WYSIWYG design tool

see : http://www.bahnhof.se/~johanl/perl/Loft/

3. For more documentation

FAQ, HowTo See : http://www.jeb.ca/perl/win32_module.htm
You have some samples in Win32::GUI sources code archive.
