Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Why do Windows spontaneously minimize?

[Alan M. - (S. Tecnico) <al...@ce...>]

I've never seen the window problem, but the label thing may happen if the
label width is too short for the new text.
See the following example:

####################
use Win32::GUI;

@files=('c:\config.sys','c:\windows\terminal.exe','c:\autoexec.bat');

$W=new Win32::GUI::Window(-width=>260,-height=>160);

$W->AddLabel(
	     -name     => "TEST",
	     -text     => "Deleting file:",
	     -pos      => [40,20],
	     -width    => 260,
#	     -width    => 160    # uncomment this line and
                                 # see what happens
	     );

$W->AddButton(-name=>"NEXT",-text=>"Next",-pos=>[100,100]);
$W->Show;
Win32::GUI::Dialog();

sub NEXT_Click {
    $W->TEST->Text("Deleting file: ".$files[$i++%($#files+1)]);
}
