David, this is a fantastic tool. It makes stuffing a few controls on a
window really fun.

I would like to contribute a little helper to this very useful GUI builder.
I wrote an object explorer. It understands ... erm ... it reads and tries to
understand Perl Win32::GUI scripts, packs the controls, together with their
properties and methods, in a multidimensional hash and graphically displays
that.

The next step will be to export changes to the props or meths back into a
perl script. And then I want to provide a code editor instead of a simple
textfield to edit the methods. I.e., syntax highlighting, auto indentation
and all the fancy stuff you'd expect. I use UltraEdit for my perl code and
it's soooo convenient.

Anyway. I can certainly do the export thing, but I have zero experience with
richedit for the code editor part. Anybody got some hints or wanna join?

Please have a look at the GOE (GUI Object Explorer) at
http://www.fairymails.com/perl/
Download either goe.zip or the the other three files (which are actually the
contents of the zip), start goe.pl and give it a Win32-GUI script in the
fileopen dialog. If it happens to find a *.ui file of the same name, it
offers to include this as part of the script - this is to interface to
David's gb109. Maybe we can melt the goe - once ready - into the gb and call
it ide?

Feeedback welcome - especially bug reports if you have a script that I fail
to parse correctly.

Thank you
Harald

[perl-win32-gui-users] Perl2exe bug or Win32-GUI bug?

[Erick J. B. <er...@e-...>]

When I compile a Win32::GUI (v0.0.588) script using Perl2Exe (v5.00 03), and I run it and
then try and close it I get a page fault error. On the other hand, when I compile it using
version 0.0.502, I do not receive the error. Is this a bug in Win32::GUI module (v0.0.588)
or in Perl2Exe?

I have made some packages for easy handle tabstrip.
I use a container object for each page and hide/show it.

2 versions exists :
    - Panel.pm and TabPanel.pm
    - Frame.pm and TabFrame.pm

Panel and TabPanel packages normaly work with current Win32::GUI version but
it's not the best.

Frame and TabFrame packages work only with last CVS Win32::GUI version and
need new improvements.

You can download it at :
http://perso.club-internet/rocherl/TabPanel.zip
http://perso.club-internet/rocherl/TabFrame.zip


Otherwise, you can see other examples in mailing list archive (see around
end of 01/2001).

[perl-win32-gui-users] Tab Strip best practices?

[Johan L. <jp...@bo...>]

Hi!

I'm new to Win32::GUI and to the list, so I guess you'll see a few 
questions from me until I grok everything :)

To begin with, is there a common/default/best way of handling Tab Strips?

In one of the sample files the application simply pushed the controls into 
an array for later Show()ing and Hide()ing. That seems okay, but I figured 
I could insert them into a container object, much like the TabStrip itself, 
and then show and hide the container object instead. I have a vague memory 
of doing that when coding win32 in VB...

But, alas, I didn't find any such object I could use. Any ideas?

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] A Win32-GUI Library?

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

I back this motion. There are countless programmers out there who keep
looking for useful code but would not step forward to ask for it (eg on a
list like this). Trust me - I used to be one of them. I spent days writing a
tiff to bmp converter because I could not find what half a dozen others must
have done before me.

Plus, newbies can learn much faster from examples. First look for something
that does what you want, then look how it's done. It's much more efficient
than experimenting until you found 99% of the side-effects, only to have the
first stupid user stumble over the remaining percent that makes your
beautiful programm squawk.

We could also set up a wonderful knowledge base. Does anybody have
experience on how to organise hints and questions (or how-to headlines) so
that people can actually find something?

[perl-win32-gui-users] A Win32-GUI Library?

[Watson C. <geo...@ya...>]

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has set up a website that
contains a 'library' of examples for current Win32-GUI
code.  The reason for my inquiry is I have a Weather
program written in Perl with Win32::GUI that I spent a
lot of time on.  I simply don't have the time to work
on it anymore and I was hoping I might post it
somewhere so that people could at least cut code from
it, and if they felt so inclined, add / modify it.  It
would also be cool to see what other people have been
able to do with this great tool for Perl.  I thought
about just dumping the source on this list but of
course typically the source will only be available for
a while before it disappears in the archives.  Anyone
else have thoughts on this?  Cheers.

Subject: [perl-win32-gui-users] .plan


hello perl-win32-gui-users,

this is my dot plan about Win32::GUI, what I'm doing and what
I plan to do. please note that everything here may change (without
further notice) depending on my other activities (namely job and
'real life' :-).

it would be kewl if you could 'prioritize' the list based on
what you find more useful (or funny :-), and above all (pardon
the caps): IF YOU CAN HELP ME WITH SOMETHING, PLEASE DO!

that said, this is the list:

**** NEM (New Event Model)
I'm almost done with this, but there are still some flaws.
I will also define the API to manage events (eg. AddEvent
or BindEvent or ResetEvent or something like this...).
I'm also adding the possibility of 'shortcut' options a la
Javascript, like:
    -onClick =3D> \&DoSomething

**** Event Queues
this is something I didn't really explored yet, but I would
like to process a list of events. should look somehow like
this:
    -events =3D> { Click =3D> [ \&DoSomething, \&DoSomethingElse ] }
in other words, when a Click events occur first DoSomething
is executed, then DoSomethingElse. the main purpose for this
is to allow subpackages to define their own event handlers
which can be 'overriden' by the implementation in the program.
(if it doesn't sound clear, don't worry, is still mainly obscure
to me too :-)

**** Win32::GUI::JPEG
allow *read* support for JPEG images, using libjpeg (see
ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg). JPEG files can be converted
to in-memory bitmaps and then used as regular Bitmap objects.
(NOTE: I'm *not going* to develop Win32::GUI::GIF. GIF is
absolutely deprecated, I'll look into PNG support eventually).

**** Win32::GUI::Scintilla
(see http://www.scintilla.org); to revive pride.pl! :-)


these are the main points... for now, I will post a followup
if I forgot something :-)

cheers,
Aldo

[perl-win32-gui-users] Win32::GUI FAQ

[<fel...@fr...>]

Hello Aldo
in order to get started, where can I find the most up-to-date WIN32::GUI
documentation version? I probably have a very outdated one on my PC.

And a second question, is there any model FAQ document you recommend as a
basis? Otherwise, I would just take the "perlfaq.html" document of the core
perl documentation as a basis
and adopt it. Is that fine for you?

yes, I know, but in your example the 'implementer' is responsible
for calling the package event (eg. $self->OnClick), which is not a
good way to create subpackages... so I don't like this approach.

yes, that's the problem. I haven't figured yet a 'package-writers'
API... I should think of a real world example of this and try to
model in pseudocode first :-)

>         - order problem between user event and package event.

package event should always come first and decide what to do
(eg. do some stuff, then cal user event, then do some other
stuff... or don't call the user event at all, if it so decides).

>         - If user don't want default package click event.

this should be left as an option to the package writer. for
example, s?he could relay on the user event's return value.
0 == don't process default (package) event, 1 == process it.
this is the way Win32::GUI actually works with DefWindowProc()
after all.

way cool, I will implement this. seems lot easier than libjpeg
(even the installation is much easier and it comes with binaries
too). BTW, I will also try to release a standalone Perl module
for this library (eg. Image::Free :-).

you're welcome! let's discuss it on Perl-Win32-GUI-hackers.

you're very welcome Felix!
I think that the most helpful thing you can do (that's one that
I forgot to include in the .plan) is to build a Win32::GUI FAQ
based on the experience of this mailing list. you can prepare
the base document if you can, then submit it to the list so
that everyone, me included, can comment/add stuff/trim stuff/etc.

we all count on you for this! :-)

   yes, well.. at least a basic one.
  
   Download: ftp://ftp.wh.whoi.edu/pub/gb109.zip

   Here is the README I sent out a little while back...

   This is my Win32::GUI Builder (gb) build 109.  The previous version
   was 0.01 (decided to go to a build number).  

   What's new since v0.01:

   - More Objects (Status Bar, RichEdit, ListView and TreeView).

   - Basic Image support (Can drag a BMP around and size it).

   - Added more options to Button property (they don't work yet).  :)
     If this looks like a good way to go, I can do this to other objects and
     start adding the hooks.

   - Started adding options for what is saved when you write out the GUI
     design (this is found on the preferences screen).  It doesn't work
     (don't use it), but it will give you an idea of what I'm trying
     to do.  Any comments are welcome.


  Things that were fixed:

    The newer version of Win32::GUI fixed the display problem with text.

    The black draw problem (which was a memory problem) has been fixed -
    I might have sent out this patch in an earlier message (anyway, it
    is now fixed).

  
  Basic Setup and Use (same as before if you used v0.01):

     Install Win32::API (if you haven't already)
     You will also need Win32::API

     Unzip 'zip' file in an empty directory.  Open a DOS Window and type:

            perl gb

     The "GUI Builder" window should come to life.  

     Click File->New In the "Window Properties" Window change what you like
     then click "OK".  The "Name:" field contain the variable associated
     with the window (ie. $Win).
     When you click "OK" a blank design window appears.  
     Click on one of the objects from the toolbar and it's related property
     window will appear.  Fill in the text when appropriate and click OK.
     Move the mouse over into the design area to place the object.
     Right Clicking the object will bring up a menu.
     
     Working with a group of objects:

       Left click and hold down in an open area to the top left of a group
       of objects.  Drag the mouse down to the bottom right of the group of
       objects - a red box will appear around the objects.  There are now
       several things you can do with the objects by right clicking in the
       red box.  If you left click, hold down and drag in the red box, you
       can move the objects around on the screen.  Clicking outside the red
       box cancels the select mode.

  Known Bugs:

     Click of Death - Occasionally clicking in the design area will cause
     gb do die completely (make sure the autosave feature is turned on).

     A started playing with a list of recently opened files to appear under
     the 'File' menu, but I haven't finished the code so it may not work
     remember all the files that it should.

Unfortunately, this does not work.  Once it launches the `$install`, it 
never returns.  I read somewhere that Installshield tries to do a WS_DDE_INITIATE 
call back to the parent application, and will wait for the parent to answer 
this message.  This message will sit in the message queue for perl, going 
unanswered.  Perl will just sit and wait for the child application to finish,
 and the child application will sit and wait for the reply from the parent 
application.  If this is true, what in the Win32::GUI module is not replying? 
 I say this, because if I string the installs in a plain perl script, everything 
works fine.  Does anyone know a way around this?  Am I way off base here?

Hi All

I am currently in conversation with ActiveState with a view to having the
correct version on their PPM server. They have been very responsive and told me
that it had been updated this morning. However when I do a search for it on
their server I still get version 0.99 reported. I've gone back to them with this

Aha, perhaps I do have cache problem then.

I'll flush the cache and try again. Thanks !

I made sure when I first started that this wouldn't be a problem, and got 
the correct version from dada.perl.it.  Although, I first started using 
Win32::GUI I was using 0.0.502.  After upgrading to 0.0.558 I had problems 
in one of my apps with AddGroupbox, in that it was reading the wrong area's 
in memory.  Rather then spend my time trying to figure out what  was wrong 
(my code appeared to be fine), I just downgraded back to 0.0.502, and everything 
went back to working fine.

I haven't had time to try your solution, but I'll try to get to it later 
on today.  As far as the problem I am having, here is a snippet of code 
that has the same problem.  The application that it is trying to launch 
a silent install on is Adobe Acrobat 4.05.  This is under WinNT SP6, using 
ActivePerl 5.6.0 build 620.  The Win32::GUI module is 0.0.502.

Thanks a TON for all the help.

Len.

-----[ Start Code ]------

use Win32::GUI;

$mainwindow = Win32::GUI::Window->new (

        -left   => 100,
        -top    => 100,
        -width  => 100,
        -height => 100,
        -title  => "Hi",
);

$mainwindow -> {-dialogui} = 1;

Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] .plan

[<fe...@fr...>]

Dear Aldo
I'd love to help because Win32::GUI is a marvelous tool and it enabled me to
develop a real nice perl app on the PC. I could offer my help for working on
the documentation, code some perl examples, and summarize the tricks
discussed in the user group. Time available depending on my 'other
activities' (see below)...
Best Regards, Felix
