[wxperl-users] Localisation and GUI elements

[Marcus <li...@wo...>]

Hi All,

I am programming a wxPerl app for teaching literacy. It needs to show a 
button for each letter of the alphabet. For English that is 26, but it 
differs in other alphabets. Even some latin-alphabet languages have 
special characters and/or count the letters with diacritics separately. 
e.g. in German, you have 30 letters this way, but French only 26 
because the diacrit letters are not counted, AFAIK.

Any code suggestions on how to:

a) programmatically add a matrix of letters with differing numbers and 
still get them spaced nicely.

b) to use the locale settings to store the number of buttons.

I'm using a GUI designer so the buttons just need to be placed on an 
existing panel, which in turn goes in a notebook widget.


Thanks,

Marcus
