[wxperl-users] SetStatusText Help

[Erich C. B. <eri...@be...>]

Hi everyone,

I have an application that I am building with wxPerl 0.10.  I have created a
notebook on the frame (with a status bar) with one Panel - this is a login
panel.  When the user enters their username and password, they press the
login button which calls a subroutine to connect to another host.  When the
connection is successful, I want to print a message in the status bar.
However, when I call

Wx::Frame->SetStatusText("Success", 1);

from the subroutine, the app dies.  No errors, warnings, or anything.  What
am I doing wrong?

Also, is there a way to format the font color for the text in the status
bar?  For example, I want success messages to be in blue, and errors in red.

Thanks in advance for your help!
