Hi, I've been trying to get a listview which looks like this: http://delphitutorial.info/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/next-grid.jpg as opposed to the old (and ugly) style: http://www.knowdotnet.com/articles/PrintListViewDemoForm.jpg Robert's perl.exe.manifest file did the trick only it doesn't work after packing the script to an exe. Is there another way to use xp styles? Also on the subject of Listview, how do you get row sorting functionality? (with an arrow on the column which the rows are being sorted by) Any help appreciated, -Jaun |

Hi, When packing the script into an exe what tool are you using? If you are using PerlApp from activestate you may need to update to a later version as I think it adds a manifest to the exe which overrides any file based manifest. You can manually change the manifest with a tool such as reshacker to force it to use XP styles. As a side the manifest file should always match the name of the exe being run. Cheers, Jez. ________________________________ > Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2008 18:50:55 +1100 > From: teh...@gm... > To: per...@li... > Subject: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win XP styles > > Hi, > > I've been trying to get a listview which looks like this: http://delphitutorial.info/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/next-grid.jpg as opposed to the old (and ugly) style: http://www.knowdotnet.com/articles/PrintListViewDemoForm.jpg > > Robert's perl.exe.manifest file did the trick only it doesn't work after packing the script to an exe.

I don't have an active license for perlapp so I've been using PP. Reshacker looks good, as long as the end result is the same it should do fine, thanks.

You shouldn't have any issue with Reshacker and PP. I can recommend PerlApp with Win32GUI, it's a nice tool. As a side you can also use Reshacker to add icons, bitmaps, string tables and other objects to the exe. In the case of icons, bitmaps, string tables Win32::GUI automatically looks into the exe first so you dont need to change your code. Cheers, Jeremy.

Hello Jaun, Sorry for offtopic question, but I'm very interested how do you plan to deal with tabstrip controls with XP style activated? In XP style it has white background but all controls that you put on it will have it default (gray). Or you just don't use tabstrips in your apps?

Wasn't planning on using tabstrips, and from what I've read in the mail archives it looks like they'll be a pain to use with xp styles. For now I just want to deal with one headache at a time ;) On Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 6:26 PM, Ilya BANDORIN <Ily...@so...>wrote: > Hello Jaun, > > > > Sorry for offtopic question, but I'm very interested how do you plan to > deal with tabstrip controls with XP style activated?

Hi, The way I do this is to create a child window that is the same size as the tab control (with the tab showing) and overlay it on the tab control. I then place the controls on this child window.

Use the "-a=filename" option when working with perlapp. This will pack the filename and allow you to ship it with your application.

You cannot --add an arbitrary file; --add is for Perl code only. You could use --bind to add a data file, but this still won't work for manifests. They need to be available to the Windows loader, which means they either need to be embedded as a resource section in the executable itself, or be placed as a separate file into the same directory as the executable (with the same name as the executable suffixed with ".manifest"). None of this is relevant to PerlApp, which already contains a manifest to request the new style common controls. Note that the original poster was using PAR, not PerlApp. Cheers, -Jan |
