Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Painting non-graphical controls

[Ashrien <as...@es...>]

No, as Win32::GUI::Graphic controls don't provide a mouseOver or mouseOut
event, I'm stuck with trying to modify the zorder or finding an alternative
method.

It's a form of 'trainer' (thats very very generalized) for an MMO. The
original application had a userbase of about 5000 people.
