[perl-win32-gui-users] tool tips && Win32::GUI::GetOpenFileName

[Fleming, J. M <joh...@ed...>]

Does anyone know how to disable tooltips in a GetOpenFileName window? I =
have a problem that I think it related to tool tips. Sometimes (can't =
tell what the trigger is) when hovering over a file the perl script will =
just exit. No core file or complaints. I tried wrapping the whole =
program into an eval { } print $@ if $@ but that didn't show anything.=20
=20
Side note... if anyone else knows of a way to trap a win32 error let me =
know. :/

thanks!

active state 5.8.8, win32gui- 1.05. I'm using xmlbuilder 0.49 to handle =
heavy gui lifting.

oh btw, are there any beta builds of 1.06 by any chance?

You may be right, but it's more likely that we have a problem in Win32::GUI.

Well, I wouldn't expect a core file on windows.

perl -W -MCarp=verbose some_script.pl

might give you some additional information.  In my experience it's
very unusual for perl on Win32 to just give up with no warnings/error
from either Perl or the OS.

Which Win32 OS?

I thought it might be a win32 problem. I looked through cvs and tried to
build 1.06 but I don't have a c compiler and wasn't sure which one I
needed to install, but I didn't put too much into this.=20

I'll try adding those to the cli.=20

BTW this is XP sp2.


Thanks for the reply!=20

Glen...thanks....I was thinking I would have to convert it to a bmp or jpeg 
or something before displaying...thanks for the confirmation and the 
suggestion...most appreciated.

[perl-win32-gui-users] memory management and Win32::GUI

[pcourterelle <pco...@te...>]

Are there any special requirements for memory management when using Perl 
Win32::GUI?

I've created several some simple scripts with Win32::GUI where there is 
little more than a window, button and listview and the script is using 6 MB 
of memory. The memory usage increase dramatically each time a button is 
clicked or the listview is populated. (the buttons do nothing more than 
insert a static text item into the listview  - literally "bob" The memory 
usuage never seems to decrease dynamically when the listview is reset.

I'm certainly no expert but this does not seem right.

Thanks

[perl-win32-gui-users] PDF thumbnail display

[pcourterelle <pco...@te...>]

Is it possible to display a thumbnail or preview from a PDF using Win32:GUI? 
PDF is not supported by the DIBitmap package so I thought I'd ask, see if 
something was in development or other avenues exist.

Thanks
