Greetings all, I'm kinda new to win32::gui programming and need to develop a frontend whic= h is similar to windows explorer. I would like to have a scrollable "pane" o= n the right hand side which contains lists of checkboxes. I have looked through the mdi packages and suspect i need some flavor of midframe/client. I have not been able to locate any examples which might point me in the right direction. Can anybody provide some brief code to help get me started? Regards, Brian |

For a standard ActiveState Perl install you should find it at C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\GUI\demos (you'll need to adjust the path for your perl installation). MDI.pl might be a good place to start.

Hi everyone, Thanks for the pointers. It seems that Darrik's suggestion of using ListViews may do what I need. I was able to get the lists setup the way I want. I would now like to disable certain items in the list. I am able to use ItemCheck to set the checked state of the checkbox as needed. I now need to be able to disable certain items in the list. I can't seem to find out how to do this. All variations of -disabled =3D> 1 don't work. I can disable the entire list ... which is okay but once the list is disabled, users can't scroll. Due to space on the window, I can't display the whole list. So my question ... is there a way to disable the list (either entirely or b= y item) and still keep it scrollable? Do I have to setup a routine to check the state of the checkbox and always keep it checked?
