[perl-win32-gui-hackers] Setting the background of a window - broken?

[Jez W. <je...@je...>]

Hi,

For the life of me I can't seem to be able to set the background color =
of a window - I know you could in previous versions.

Surely -background =3D> [255,0,0] should work just like with controls?

Cheers,

jez.

I don't think that ever worked, but I'm not sure. You need to create a 
Win32::GUI::Class and assign a background color to it and assign the class 
to the window.

There's a TGL demo program that does this.

Hi,

I was assuming that there was a way to change the background color of the=
=20
window during runtime? As for using a class, I had already tried that:

use Win32::GUI;
use strict;
my $WC =3D new Win32::GUI::Class(
    -name =3D> "Background",
   # -style =3D> 0,
    -background =3D> [208,187,255],
);

my $win =3D new Win32::GUI::Window (
    -pos         =3D> [100, 100],
    -size        =3D> [550, 235],
    -name        =3D> "Window",
    -text        =3D> "testing",
    -class       =3D> $WC,
);

$win->Show();

Win32::GUI::Dialog();

No joy - but running the FetchURL.pl example in loft did bring up a windo=
w=20
with a different window (then crashed on exit - that DC issue).

Cheers,

jez.
