[perl-win32-gui-users] Vertical line spacing and a Win98/WinXP issue

[John W. <jo...@jo...>]

Question 1)

Anyone know how to get multiple lines in a Win32::GUI::Label to spread out
vertially, so there would be an extra 5 pixels between each line?  Yes, I
could create multiple labels, one for each line, and spread them out an
extra 5 pixels.  But a simple -linespacing => 5 would be nice.  Anything
like this in the Win32::GUI world?  Below is the label I have.

my $window_main_text_label = new Win32::GUI::Label
(
  $window_main ,
  -text       => "Line 1 \n Line 2 \n Line 3 \n Line 4 " ,
  -name       => 'window_settings_option_text_label' ,
  -font       => $font ,
  -pos        => [ 195 , 297 ] ,
  -size       => [ 280 , 100 ]
) ;


Question 2)

With Win32::GUI::RadioButton, and with Win32::GUI::CheckBox I can set and
change the -foreground => 0x000000 value just fine to 0x000000 and 0xff0000
on my Win98SE PC.  But on my XP PC the $window_main_cb -> Change
( -foreground => 0xff0000 ) and the initial setting of the -foreground =>
0xff0000 has no effect.  Just always black.  I can change -background colors
on both Win98SE and WinXP platforms fine, but not -foreground.  Any
thoughts?  My solution is to have the radio button or checkbox without any
text, and add a text label near it that I can change the -foreground
and -background, but this is a kludge I would like to avoid.
