Hi Aldo

Nice to hear from you again - sorry to hear about your problems :(

I can produce a PPM if you let me know when the source is available.

Cheers

Paul

hello people!

I'm really sorry about my unforgivable absence of the last months :-(
just yesterday I discovered that I was kicked off this mailing list, due to
message bouncing, due to my broken email configuration.

I'm going through all kind of problems lately, last but not least the one
with DNS: you may have noticed that dada.perl.it is not there anymore, but
I'm (hopefully) getting back the control of my DNS, so this should be solved
sooner or later. I'm still depending on my ISP's geological times for this,
so I can't give a date. but in the mean time, dada's perl lab is still
available at: http://www.perl.it/dada/

and then, I had a major hard disk failure that scratched all my development
environment (the source itself are safe), so that I still can't compile
Win32::GUI as of now :-(

but except for that, I would like to go on with this module. the latest
version (build 659) is ready, but I just can't test it. I will release the
source on my site, and if someone can provide a binary (PPM or just the DLL,
I can package the PPM), this would be very appreciated.

regarding the last discussions (that I'm reading in the archives ;-), I can
say that the Tooltip question is fully implemented now. every control has
a -tip option that directly specifies the text that should appear in the
tooltip when the mouse is over it.

sorry again, people, I hope to be more "efficient" (?) in the future :-)

cheers,
Aldo

Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] ListView Checkboxes, ImageList, etc.

[Jeremy B. <sco...@ya...>]

Or you can simply use:

$DetailSearchTXT->SelectAll();

Which will also place the entry into replace/overwrite mode.

Off the subject a little, here is a little trick that is useful to someone
wanting to initially set focus on a text box and have the data highlighted
in replace/overwrite mode.

EXAMPLE
$DetailSearchTXT->SetFocus();
$DetailSearchTXT->Select(0,length($DetailSearchTXT->Text()));

[Eric H. <Ha...@sw...>]

Peter, I don't think I can help you with any of your problems I'm sorry to =
say.=20
I'm especially sorry not to be able to help you with initially setting =
checkboxes within a ListView.  Don't know how to do that.  Was not =
something my app needed to do, but I can see how it would be useful.   I =
can share a couple things I do know howver that might be of interest to =
you or someone else:

Peter, you already know that you can get the value of the checkbox state =
for a row in the ListView using

EXAMPLE
$row=3D15;
$checked=3D$LV->ItemCheck($row);   # checkbox state is 0 or 1.

This is documented.
But, what is not documented is how to get the value of other properties =
within the ListView such as -text and -image

EXAMPLE
$row=3D15;
%data =3D $LV->ItemInfo($row,0);
$image=3D $data{-image};               # image nbr in image list displayed =
at row 15=20
$column1text=3D $data{-text};         # text value in first column of row =
15     =20
%data =3D $LV->ItemInfo($row,1);
$column2text=3D $data{-text};         # text value in 2nd column of row 15

You can change the value of a property associated with a row of the =
ListView by

EXAMPLE
$LV->ChangeItem(-item =3D> $row,  -image =3D> 1);    # display 2nd image =
in image list

Here is a complete declaration of the ListView and its ImageList:

EXAMPLE
$B1 =3D new Win32::GUI::Bitmap("deselected.bmp");   # off light
$B2 =3D new Win32::GUI::Bitmap("selected.bmp");       # on light
$IL =3D new Win32::GUI::ImageList(16, 16, 0, 2, 10);
$IL->Add($B1, 0);     #  image 0 or first image in list
$IL->Add($B2, 0);     #  image 1 or 2nd image in list
$LV =3D $W->AddListView(
         -name =3D> "ListView",
         -left =3D> 12,
         -top =3D> 70,
         -height =3D> 260,
         -width  =3D> 670,=20
);
$LV->View(1);  # detailed listing, i.e. columns and rows
$LV->SetImageList($IL,1);
# enable gridline and checkboxes cabability=20
# fullrowselect defined below, but not activated with SendMessage
$LVM_SETEXTENDEDLISTVIEWSTYLE =3D 0x1000 + 54;
$LVS_EX_GRIDLINES =3D 0x001;
$LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT =3D 0x020;
$LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES =3D 0x004;
$LV->SendMessage($LVM_SETEXTENDEDLISTVIEWSTYLE,  0,
      $LVS_EX_GRIDLINES | $LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES,
);


HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT ROW IN THE LISTVIEW HAS BEEN SELECTED BY THE USER???

EXAMPLE =20
########################
sub ListView_ItemClick {
########################
    $row =3D shift;                                    =20
}

Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Re: Tooltip Feature and Win32::GUI thoughts

[<pko...@me...>]

Hello Eric,

Problems:

1. Richedit doesn't work in conjunction with Win32::OLE. When my script w=
as
small Richedit and Win32::OLE worked together. But my script became bigge=
r
and the dialogs with Richedit didn't work anymore. I refactored my script
and it worked fine. But some lines code later it didn't work again. The
behaviour was unpredictable. I found out, that the problem was Win32::OLE.
But I found no solution and couldn't set up a little script that shows th=
e
problem. So I replaced Richedit against a textfield with multiple lines. =
Not
very good.

2. Checkboxes with Listviews. I absolutely need a Listview with checkboxe=
s.
But I didn't find out how to check it initially. I can read the state but
can't set the state.

3. Tabular keystroke for switching between widgets. It did work until I o=
nly
wanted one window shown in the taskbar. So I used -parent option and this
didn't work.

These are my greatest problems while developing my app. It is a little
workflow management system for ebay sellers. It is german, but the
marketplace specific code is external. Regardless there is no english use=
r
interface or a marketplace module for ebay.com. I am thinking about L10N =
and
then will search for developers who can convert the marketplace module fr=
om
eBay.de to eBay.com. (http://sourceforge.net/projects/auctioneer/)

My second problem is my biggest these days. I want to use such a checked
Listview for displaying installed marketplace modules or auction fees. I
can't figure out how to set up a list with some checkboxes checked and
others not.

Other problems are for example that I use a speedbar and didn't find out =
how
to use transparent images for it. Another color setting on another system
and the app looks bad.

Then the bad window management. A message box could be send behind the ap=
p,
and so on ...

I really would appreciate tooltips, but is there active development in th=
is
project?

Thanks for reading :-)
Peter,

Germany Ulm

Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Re: Tooltip Feature and Win32::GUI thoughts

[Glenn L. <Gle...@ne...>]

Eric,

Perhaps you could share those direct communications from Aldo with
people that maintain Win32::GUI FAQ lists these days?  Or the list at
large?  Perhaps some of it could get incorporated into the FAQ or into
some other documentation?

Like others, I'm starting to wonder if there is any active development
of Win32::GUI happening.

As I'm considering doing a fairly major Win32::GUI application soon, I'm
a bit nervous about the level of support that might be available, should
I run into a serious limitation.

Yes, I would like the Tooltip Feature, too.

But, I think bug fixes are more interesting. I am working on a big
Win32::GUI app and stepped into some serious bugs. I spend more time =

for Win32::GUI workarounds than for the app development. This isn't

Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] RE: Tooltips

[Sean H. <jal...@ho...>]

I did not realize this list was set up so that hitting 'Reply' replied only 
to the sender, not to the list (it's the only one of the lists that I'm 
subscribed to that is), so the last time I sent this, it went only to one 
person (sorry, whoever that was):

There is a really bug in RichEdit::GetCharFormat (and GetParaFormat is not 
not implemented at all).  The following two bits of code are found in the 
XS:

    if(dwMask & CFM_FACE) {
        EXTEND(SP, 2);
        XST_mPV(si++, "-name");
        XST_mPV(si++, cf.szFaceName);
    }

    if(dwMask & CFM_SIZE) {
        EXTEND(SP, 2);
        XST_mPV(si++, "-name");
        XST_mIV(si++, cf.yHeight);

So the height and name are both getting set to the '-name' key of the 
returned hash, and since height is last, we get that and lose the font name. 
  Since this is a two-second fix, I hope it will be fixed for the next 
release, now that I've brought attention to it.

I attempted to create my own GetParaFormat using SendMessage, but I have so 
far been unsuccessful.

[perl-win32-gui-users] Fork() and BringWindowToTop()

[<Kev...@al...>]

Hi All,

I'm trying to use fork() to create a parent and child process.  The parent
will deal with Win32::GUI events, tell the child which buttons etc have
been pressed, the child will carry out the actions and update the
appropriate controls on the window.  This way I can allow the main window
to continue reacting to some events (eg refresh, minimise or even quit)
while the processing is performed in the background by the child.

One of the child actions is to bring up a browseforfolder type dialog and
put the selected directories into a text field on the main window.  I can
get this to work fine, except that BringWindowToTop doesn't seem to work
after returning from the browse for folder dialog.  Instead my main window
disappears behind what ever window happens to be behind it.

Bringing up the browseforfolder dialog does require entering a
win32::gui::dialog loop and my guess is that this is what's causing the
problem.  If I alt-tab to the main window it continues to function
normally.

If I move the browseforfolder action into the parent everything works fine
but it would be neater to have all screen updating performed by the child
and it seems slightly odd to get the parent to report the selected
directories to the child so it can update the main window.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Kev.

Hi All,

I tried a few more ways to get the tooltips working (just in case :-)

I agree that this would be an extremely useful feature. So who do we ask,

[perl-win32-gui-users] Tooltip Feature and Win32::GUI thoughts

[<pko...@me...>]

Hello all Win32::GUI Users!

Yes, I would like the Tooltip Feature, too.

But, I think bug fixes are more interesting. I am working on a big
Win32::GUI app and stepped into some serious bugs. I spend more time look=
ing
for Win32::GUI workarounds than for the app development. This isn't
productive any more.

[perl-win32-gui-users] Is Win32-GUI still being developed?

Is Win32-GUI still being developed?  As far as I can tell, it hasn't been 
updated in over a year (+/-, at the time of writing, the sourceforge page is

afaik, tool tips are not yet implemented. I also spent a lot of time on
them because the manual gives the impression of tool tips being
available. The only implemented tool tip is the one that comes with the
system tray icon.

I'd be glad to learn otherwise though.

[perl-win32-gui-users] PerlApp vs Perl2exe

[Eric H. <Ha...@sw...>]

I have used both. PerlApp used to require you develop your application on =
a Windows NT machine.  Not sure if that is still true?  I used it back in =
1999.  Perl2exe does not have that limitation. I am currently using =
Perl2exe on Windows 98.  I use to compile Perl Win32::GUI applications =
with PerlApp and I would not have to distribute any other files other than =
the executable. However with Perl2exe, I have to distribute perlcrt.dll as =
well for additional runtime support.  This is not that big a deal though. =
I just have enduser install that DLL file to the same directory as the =
executable. One thing I did not like about PerlApp is that it created =
subdirectories below /temp where it placed expanded files summing about =
1megabyte each for each executable you ran. Perl2exe does not need to do =
this. Both PerlApp and Perl2exe allow you to compile with a special GUI =
switch so the DOS console is not visible.  Executable file sizes are a =
little smaller with Perl2exe I found. Execution speed is similar for your =
compiled programs. But perhaps the biggest drawback to PerlApp was that =
you had to have either a user license or a machine license. Perl2exe does =
not limit you to compiling on one machine, or by one user.  I use =
ActiveState Perl binary instead of Indigo Software Perl binary, but I use =
Indigo Software's Perl2exe compiler on ActiveState's perl binary. Works =
just fine. Indigo makes sure it works with ActiveState Perl.=20

I have successfully ran applications compiled under both compilers on =
Windows OS platforms as well as the Novell Network operating system.

You are missing some important stuff, like, where does it go? However, the
error is probably happening because the label doesn't have a name. 

The documentation is not at all complete but the basics are there:

I only know Perl2Exe, and can say it works. Just remember to specify
used modules referenced by other modules if Perl2Exe can't find them.

Both are available as for testing, so why don't you just try them both?
