[wxperl-users] ListCtrl/ListItem

[Dave R. <dav...@ma...>]

I have a Wx::ListCtrl displaying rows of information in report view. I 
populate this control with InsertStringItem() and SetItem() to set the 
column information. How do I get the data out?!

for example, I intercept a EVT_LIST_BEGIN_DRAG and get an event 
parameter. from this, I can do my $listitem = $event->GetItem() which 
returns a wxListItem. the wxWindows documentation seems to stop at this 
point without a reference page for wxListItem. I've tried 
$listitem->GetText() which returns nothing, and $listitem->GetText(0) 
which dies.

environment:
wxPerl 0.10
wxWindows 2.2.9
Win2K Prof

Great idea. At http://www.pvoice.org/GPW/wxperltutorial.html I have the
slides I made for my wxPerl tutorial I gave at the German Perl Workshop
in february this year.
The examples are not spectacular, but maybe they're usable.

Right now I'm rebuilding my pVoice application using wxPerl instead of
Tk. If that results in anything useable for the general public I'll send
in some of my code for that.

For the newer ones on the list who didn't know (I told the list before)
I'm writing a book "GUI Programming with Perl" for Manning. A very large
part of it is dedicated to wxPerl, but it's not a wxPerl only book, it's
in general about GUIs for Perl, so it also covers Gtk, Win32::GUI and
Tk. This book will of course also be stuffed with example code.

[wxperl-users] Re: wxPerl CookBook

[Net W. <MN...@Ja...>]

I am willing to write and host the wxPerl Cookbook on my web site as well as
contribute.

Another perhaps better idea (and location) is to contact ASPN and see if
they can create a new cookbook category for wxPerl-- I like this one because
of it's existing presence in the Perl community. Ideas?

The demos and tutorials I've written have all been on perlmonks; I'd 
suggest using them as a starting point for any tutorials you write as 
there's a budding community of wx developers there.

How about creating a "wxPerl Cookbook"?
For example yesterday, I needed a yes/no dialog, so I pulled one out of
the demo. Luckily it was there, but it would be nice to have such
things handier.

How about making a list of controls and snippets which need examples,
then index them in Cookbook style, i.e. "Q: How do I ....?". A1:
code.... A2: code ....

>> started quickly!

I'm just transferring a CGI app to wxPerl. In fact, the basics are
running. wxHTML is the way to go, and/or with the VirtualFileSystem
"thingy" Mattia has implemented for vers. 0.11. It runs at normal
Windows app speed and you can't tell the difference.

In my opinion, this is something to advertise, since Perl programmers
could easily port CGI apps to the desktop, and have the best of both
worlds. You can keep your old CGI code, except for the param passing.
The web and desktop versions could communicate and swap data. Another
niche for Perl to jump into :-) Or to create web-like apps, like yours.


>I

If you have time, think again. I don't know what you need, but my guess
at this point is that wxPerl can probably do it, and you remain
cross-platform.

Btw, have you tried wxDesigner?

Yes, but since, AFAIK, both wxMTM and start.exe get the information
from the registry, if start.exe does not work, it is _likely_ ( not certain )
that the information in the registry is wrong.

Yes, but if wxMimeTypesManager delivers the associated application (and
path), then I can use:
Wx::ExecuteCommand("$cmd",0);

For it to be "clickable", there needs to be an #a href=..# tag, and I
could hide the application path inside the link.

Would wxMimeTypesManager return the application path?

I like 

Wx::Process

and I would appreciate a port of it,
separate and independent of Wx,
so that people  can use the Wx::Process
without use'ing Wx;

That way people like me can just
use Wx::Process;
and go about our business without worrying
what OS we're on (cause Win32 ain't great, and I don't 
like having to code alt-versions of code for Win32 and

please.

It looks like this is the native Win32 ListViev

Blame Microsoft ;-p ? Seriously, you may set a flag in the event handler
and do whatever you want to do in idle time
( you should receive events in this order:
deselect -> select -> idle, so you may catch this special case )

I wrote a guide to compile wxperl in Win32, with all you need step by =
step and links to download:

Use to have your won compilation of wxperl. With this you can help us to =
wrap wxwindows to perl and creat new classes!

* Peoples trying to compile wxperl in other OS contact me to introduce =

Well, it was clear enough ( for me ), I just can't reproduce that:

All the extension compile fine, unless the XRC! It got erros with

RE: Re: [wxperl-users] Wx::DropTarget -> OnDragOver

[Marco T. <wx...@so...>]

sorry for the delay, had to do other stuff.
hope you still remember.

i worked so long on my explanation, but looks like it was still not
clear enough. well, here with a code example:

sub OnDragOver
{
	my ($this, $x, $y, $ret) = @_;

	if($ret == wxDragNone)    { print "wxDragNone\n"; }
	elsif($ret == wxDragCopy) { print "wxDragCopy\n"; }
	elsif($ret == wxDragMove) { print "wxDragMove\n"; }
	else                      { print "strainge!!\n"; }
}

i always get wxDragNone.
doesn't matter wich state the SHIFT or CONTROL keys have.

i expect different returns.
but don't know what i should get at which key states. (????)

so i asked for an explanation why i always get wxDragNone (mistake
from my side?)  and how i can get if the CONTROL key is pressed
(because i only have to differentiate between copy and move...)

greetings&hope this time it's clearer

[wxperl-users] Wx::Dialog

[Marco T. <wx...@so...>]

hello,

is there a way that a Wx::Dialog only blocks the program flow from one
Frame? i expected that only the given parent is blocked, but every
opened frame is blocked.

[wxperl-users] listctrl, unexplainably event

[Marco T. <wx...@so...>]

hello,
i get an unexplainably "EVT_LIST_ITEM_DESELECTED"...

you can reproduce it with the listctrl sample:
- remove "wxLC_EDIT_LABELS|" on line 97
- add something like "print "here\n";" after line 512
   (to better see the event)
- start the sample
- set the list to multiple selection (menu -> List -> last one)
- click on an item
- click on the SAME item again -> "EVT_LIST_ITEM_DESELECTED"
   you get an "here" on the console (or whatever's in your print line)

i mean no item is deselected. this shouldn't occur?!?!?
has anyone an explanation / workaround?

Wx 0.11 beta 4
Active Perl 631

greeting
Marco

Fixed now in CVS; I am not sure XRC links right now, but you can disable
it in Makefile.PL as a workaround.

Here are an example of text style in TextCtrl. Only for WxPerl 0.11 with
wxwindows2.3.3
(link of 0.11 beta: http://wwwstud.dsi.unive.it/~mbarbon/wx/

-- snip --

A-ha! this explains the `Can't locate object method "SetDefaultStyle" via
package "Wx::TextCtrl" ` errors I've been getting!
It seems like I'll have to resort to an HtmlWindow control to get font &
text colors right now?

How long until 0.11 is released? :-)

there is no way; does i happen even after a
dmake realclean
perl Makefile.PL
dmake

>I'm using MingW, dmake, and my wont compilation of perl 5.6.1
I'll look at i ASAP ( around 14:00 UTC, hopefully )
