Hi, I'm a Perl expert, but a Windows novice. I'm using the .558 version of Win32::GUI, and having great success for the most part. There are some rough edges, and some apparently missing pieces, but no showstoppers so far, to achieve what I need. I created a Textfield as $help_text = $neww -> AddTextfield ( -name => 'help_text', -text => "This is not very\r\nhelpful, yet.", -multiline => 1, -readonly => 1, -vscroll => 1, -top => $lastbottom, -left => 0, -width => 600, -height => 190, ); The -vscroll doesn't seem to have any affect. When I later $help_text -> Text ( $long_string ); and use a string that is longer than fits in the Textfield, I expected, but did not get, a vertical scroll bar on the right of the Text field. Any easy way to make that happen? Or must I limit my help text to the available space? I tried using RichEdit instead, but it doesn't seem to honor -readonly, and doesn't display a scrollbar either. Although it did do scrolling of sorts, via the up & down cursor keys... but it seemed to only scroll in "whole field size" jumps, not line at a time. Going back to the Textfield, I tried clicking on it and using the up & down cursor keys, but no joy. If there is no easy way, does someone have sample code for the hard way? -- Glenn ===== Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. -- Will Rogers |

Micro$$$oft's MSDN Library. but please note that -style is *absolutely* deprecated. use the available options, and if they don't do what you want them to do, complain about this and I'll (try yo) seek a remedy. -style is there ONLY for people who want to (and are able to) access the raw Win32 API behind Win32::GUI :-) cheers, Aldo __END__ $_=q,just perl,,s, , another ,,s,$, hacker,,print; |
