perl-win32-gui-users — Using the Win32::GUI Perl extension

Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] BringWindowToTop doesn't

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

Thanks, Harald.  Once again, you've busted me out of the mental box I was in.
Your program so clearly works, one would wonder why mine doesn't.  The
difference is in the fact that I'm calling BringWindowToTop from a Notify icon
click (which was clear from the sample code I provided), and you are not.  Why
this should be different is apparently due to the choice of the Windows
designers in implementing the System Tray icon business.

Clicking on a window, or a sub-item in a window, as is done to reach the Belly
button in your code, "activates" your Main window, and gives it the keyboard
focus.  Then, with the application already being activated, the
BringWindowToTop function is sufficient to raise the other window from whatever
depths it is in!

Clicking on a System Tray icon apparently doesn't activate the application
windows, just passes the click message in to the app.  So then, if the result
of the click is that the application wants to come to the foreground, it has to
activate itself!  Seems Win32::GUI doesn't provide that capability: it
documents GetFocus and GetActiveWindow, but  doesn't document SetFocus or
SetActiveWindow!

Poking around in gui.xs reveals that it has a SetFocus, but not a
SetActiveWindow.  So I made a SetActiveWindow out of Win32::API.  However, it
still doesn't do the trick.  Now, even though I SetFocus, SetActiveWindow,
BringWindowToTop, and Show the window, it still doesn't come to the front when
I click the Notify Icon.

This is on NT 4 sp 6, by the way.

[perl-win32-gui-users] file-menu question

[Chris E. <ce...@mi...>]

Hey,

Is there anything special I should know about making a Menu visible?

I tried this on just a blank window, but no menu is visible.

$Menu = new Win32::GUI::Menu(
         "&File" => "File",
   ">Open" => "Open",
   ">Save" => "Save",
   ">Exit" => "Exit"
        );

I tried $Menu-Show();
Putting it in a DialogBox instead of a Window... I don't understand how to
make it visible.

Thanks for the help.
Chris

Works with me ... I have two windows, one button in the first window brings
the other to top. Complete code snippet attached for you to check if it

checked on Win2k.

Have fun,

[perl-win32-gui-users] BringWindowToTop doesn't

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

Hi,

So I've got this code, and it doesn't bring the window to the top.  I
can see that each time I click on the notify icon that the code gets
executed, both because the print statement fires, and the window
redraws.  But the window stays behind other windows, in spite of the
BringWindowToTop call.  It does that with or without the Hide/Show
sequence, and with or with a Disable/Enable sequence wrapped around the
BringWindowToTop.  ActivePerl 5.6.1 build 626, Win32::GUI 0.0.558.  What
trick am I missing?

I'm quite willing to throw all this away, and use whatever works... this
is just what sounded like should work from the documentation.

I should note that $mw is using the "parent window" trick to avoid being
on the task bar.  I further note that sufficient Alt-Tab keystrokes do
eventually raise the window to the top.

sub notify_icon_Click
{ if ( $mw -> IsVisible ())
  { print "Bring Main to Top\n";
    $mw -> Hide ();
    $mw -> BringWindowToTop ();
    $mw -> Show ();
  }
}

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win32::GUI::Timer memory leak?

[Forhan, M. <Mic...@tr...>]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you are using Perl 5.005 , then Win32::GUI
version 502 (the latest version for perl 5.005) is the version that you will
receive on a PPM install, because 558 is for Perl 5.6.
I'm a little confused on this myself, because I've seen a couple of
statements regarding the versions, but from I can tell, this is the case.
Hope this helps (and if i'm wrong, feel free to correct me ;) )

I see the 0.0.558 tar.gz version on your site but your /ppm still says 502,

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] version 0558 installation - undefined macro

[Piske, H. <Har...@bo...>]

Guys - or GUIs ;-)

Xqs me for being square, but if we discuss everything under "Timer memory
leak", we are giving ourselves a hard time down the road when we try to find
a solution in the sourceforge archive. Especially since the search function
of the archive is not exactly very successful in retrieving what you're
looking for :-(

Anyway, Peter, I'm sorry to inform you that my Perl 5.6.0 with GUI 0558 does
not complain about an undefined macro. I remember seing that error when I
had the famous GUI version 0.99, which was actually something like 0.0.0460
or so. But I do hope you're over the version issue by now ;-)

I could imagine something wrong with the $Window to begin with. If the
$Window->AddCombobox call fails, it returns undef and a subsequent
$Window->Category would have to fail. However, since I can use your code
snippet ... do you have Category defined somewhere? Because you did not put
the name in quotes, maybe Perl tries to call a sub of that name and take
it's return value as name for your Combobox? Just guessing.

Have fun,
Harald

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win32::GUI::Timer memory leak?

[<pau...@or...>]

Hi

The Win32::GUI 0.558 PPD was created by me (I'm the Packager you know ;-) ). I
also managed to get ActiveState to update their PPM server with it so you can
get the current version from there. (It does seem to work from inside a
firewall, you just need to set the environment variables right.)

There's some good information about creating PPMs on Jenda's site at
http://jenda.krynicky.cz/perl/PPM.html (Thanks again Aldo!)

 They are fairly easy to do, basically you need a couple of things :

1) Source of module
2) Compiler to build the module

Build the source like this :

perl Makefile.pl
nmake ppd

Move the blib directory structure produced by this to a directory like
MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\  and then tar up the whole thing and call it something
sensible like Module-SubModule-versionnumber-PPM.tar. (Win32-GUI-0.0.558-PM.tar
for example) Now gzip the tar file. (Try http://www.gzip.org/ for gzip for
Windows)

Now you must create a .ppd file which describes it. Jenda's site has detailed
information but check the .ppd file which is bundled with my 0.558 PPM it's
pretty simple.  Major thing to remember is the use of unix style slashes for
directory paths, ie somepath/somotherpath NOT somepath\someotherpath. Caught me
out for a while !

Once you have the gzipped tar file and the ppd file, create a zip file called
Module-SubModule-versionnumber-PPM.zip containing the ppd and the gzipped file.

OK, it should now work. It took me some time playing about to get it going at
first but once you've done one it gets easier.

BTW - The reason that there are no docs in the PPM file for 0.558 is because at
the time the docs were very incomplete. I could create a PPM with the docs
included, but isn't someone on this list maintaining them on a web site
somewhere ?

Anyway, if you're *REALLY* stuck for a CPAN or other module making into a PPM
drop me a line at pb...@nt... and I'll offer any help I can. (I'd
rather help you do it than do it for you of course ! ;-)    )

Cheers

Paul

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win32::GUI::Timer memory leak?

[Frazier, J. J. <Joe...@Pe...>]

That file is the source code and would have to be installed using the
following steps:

cd to the folder you unziped to:

perl makefile.pl
nmake
nmake test
nmake install

This assumes you have nmake.  If not, you can get it from MS ftp.  I
dont know exactly where it is now, but you could go to MS site and
perform a search.  OR...

http://www.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/6xx-builds-only/win32-gui.zi
p.  THIS contains the ppd file for install. =20
1) unzip
2) cd to foldery where you unziped files
3) type "ppm install Win32-GUI.ppd"


Can you not install any packages via ppm?  If you can, as I said
earlier, you can just install directly from AS repository by typeing
"ppm install Win32-GUI" and it will download from AS and install.  If
you CANNOT ppm from AS ( and I doubt it unless you have the wrong
installation path in your ppm config) then take off the file name from
the URL above and you will see ALL the 6xx build packages available for
local ppm install.

Joe, thanks for all your help but, man I'm getting nowhere fast! I
downloaded the Win-GUI-0.0.558.tar.gz, extracted it and tried doing the
install as you described and again no deal (no ppd in the archive). Then I
tried doing another install from AS and I'm still on 0.0.502.

[Marjolein K. <win...@ja...>]

Ah, yes, now that you mention it - I found the same thing. So I just downloaded the zip file, unzipped in a directory I use for modules that cannot be installed automatically, and then manually copied some things to the real Perl tree. I still use the the unzipped package for documentation.

I'd be interested to know how to create a  PPD file, though. What should be in it? Anyone?

Cheers,

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win32::GUI::Timer memory leak?

[Frazier, J. J. <Joe...@Pe...>]

Unzip to (example) c:\gui\.   cd c:\gui.  type:

c:\>ppm install Win32-GUI.ppd

Basically, you leave out the location part and actually cd to that
folder from your shell. make sure you put the file extension, so that
ppm knows to load it from the local machine instead of getting it from a
repository.  As I said, I had to do this at my old job and was able to
install 10+ modules in this manner on 7 machines.  BUT, one other thing
to note is what version of PERL are you running?  5.005_3 does not have
a ppd file for Win32::GUI 0.0.558 and ( Someone correct me if I am
wrong) you cannot build Win32::GUI 0.0.558 under the older builds of
Perl.  This MAY be why you got the 0.0.502 version since the ppm can
tell what version of Perl you have and install the appropriate module.
If you have perl 5.6+, you should be able to "ppm install Win32::GUI"
and it will install correctly from the AS repository.  If not, you are
probably limited to 0.0.502 unless you upgrade.

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win32::GUI::Timer memory leak?

[Peter E. <Pet...@at...>]

I've tried to install via ppm from the zip file but always get "Could not
locate a PPD" error. Can someone send the syntax on how to do this? I
assumed it would be 

ppm install --location="filepath\filename" Win32-GUI

Apparently not. THanks for your help.

I didnt install from there since I already had downloaded the zip file

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] showing firstvisible in a combo box

[Frazier, J. J. <Joe...@Pe...>]

one change....

close $css;
		=09
			system("notepad.exe $css");
			}

Should be :=20
close OUT;
		=09
			system("notepad.exe $css");
			}
		=09

you HAVE to flush the buffer.  I get the style sheet, but it is empty in
the system call and doesn't get generated on the filesystem until you
close the window.   You could also select the OUT filehandle right after
opening and set autoflush to true.  The other thing you may want to try
is to dump the data into a single variable.  THIS way, you can print OUT
$varname; OR you can add a richedit or multiline text field for display
later......  You may wish to have this pop up a new window and let the
new window have the save sub, so you can manually edit the stylesheet.
Just some food for thought.

I see the 0.0.558 tar.gz version on your site but your /ppm still says 502,
which is where I got it from. Is that accurate?
