I can reproduce that with wxPerl compiled aginst wxWindows 2.2,
however the bug disappears with wxWindows 2.3, so it appears
to be a bug in wxWindows itself.

[wxperl-users] wxperl win32 and fork

[Czo [O. Sirol] <Oli...@li...>]

Hi,

Thank you, Mattia, for your work!

Here is the problem:
Using wxperl (up to 0.10)
and active perl (up to build 626)
under windows (NT4 or 2000)

using fork() will crash perl if I use Wx...
this pb might come from the fact that active perl
uses threads to emulates forks under windows and
that Wx isn't thread safe...???

any clues?

Just uncomment "use Wx" and this will make
active perl crash...
=<===================================
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
#use Wx;

my $pid=0;

$pid=fork();
print("Bonjour\n");
if ($pid==0)
    {
        print("Bonjour papa\n");
    }
print("Salut\n");
=<===================================


bye.
           Olivier.

[wxperl-users] wxPerl app distro on Linux

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

Can anybody make a suggestion on distributing wxPerl applications on
Linux?
Is there a nice installer somewhere?
The problem with rpms are the dependencies.

Especially since we need to package wxPerl, wxWindows, the app, and any
other perl modules.

Are there user-friendly alternatives to Perl2Exe?

I would help write one, if I knew more about Linux :-)
Anybody?

Thanks,

Marcus

Yes, look at the demo ( in the 'examples' zip form the download page )
Printing worked last time I tried it. There isa also a
simplified interface for HTML printing ( again the demo, HtmlWindow ).

[wxperl-users] Win32 Printing

[Konstantinos K. <ck...@eu...>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to do some printing on a Windows 2000 machine, but so far 
without success.
Are the printing functions (PrintDlg etc.) implemented yet?

Right now native printing is the only thing missing from Win32 PERL, to 
make PERL a general application programming language on Windows machines. 
If Mattia can nail this then it will be an important development for PERL 
on Windows.

Great work Mattia.

It is always a good idea to

use FindBin;
load "$FindBin::RealBin/icons/my.ico" ( ok, you should use
File::Spec, but you get the idea )

Are you sure? Doesn't explicitly chdir()ing to the program
directory solve the problem?

I am almost sure that filedialog does a chdir() in some versions
of wxWindows ( because the native Win32 dialog does that ).

[wxperl-users] Wx::FileDialog causes problems

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

hi all...

i've a problem for over one month now.
i just can't reproduce it.

situation:
i've a main window.
from this main window i'm able to open window2.
window2 has a toolbar with icons.

everytime i open window2 the icons are visible...
but after i chose a file from a filedialog and create another window, i always get the error:
"Can't load image from file 'icons/reattach.png': file does not exist.
or:
Failed to load icon from the file 'icons/sm.ico' (error 2: System can't find File.)

but the file exist!
and the current working directory hasn't changed.
it doesn't mather if i set a defaultDir or not.
the problem doesn't occur if i just create the filedialog but don't select a file.

has someone an ide what could be wrong?
i'm really helpless

thank you very much for that!!!

but i've problems with it...
don't know if it's a bug or a mistake from my side

my listctrl is in report mode...
the headerlabels appear in the same style as the the top item...

shouldn't be, right?

my code (just inserting a bold item):

### start
my $item = Wx::ListItem->new;
$item->SetId(0);
$item->SetFont(Wx::Font->new(8, wxDEFAULT, wxNORMAL, wxBOLD));

my $id = $list->InsertItem($item);

$list->SetItem($id, 0, 'a');
$list->SetItem($id, 1, 'b');
$list->SetItem($id, 2, 'c');
### end

another question concerning my code:
is it possible to just set an item bold
(withhout creating a whole Wx::Font)

i was at the same point like you are now two or three months ago...
i suggest to read and rewrite the examples depending on your wishes... they
have everythin you need...
as soon as you understand them, you'll be able to use the wxwindows docs to
programm your stuff

check the samples (splitter.pl)...
my way to create multiple frames:

my $splitter1 = Wx::SplitterWindow->new($this, -1);
my $splitter2 = Wx::SplitterWindow->new($this, -1);
my $tree = Wx::TreeCtrl->new($splitter1, -1);
my $something1 = Wx:Something->new($splitter2, -1);
my $something2 = Wx:Something->new($splitter2, -1);

$splitter1->SplitVertically($tree, $splitter2);
$splitter2->SplitVertically($somethin1, $something2);

> I'm also having problems with toolbars

Wx::Image::AddHandler(new Wx::PNGHandler);
my $toolbar =
$this->CreateToolBar(wxTB_HORIZONTAL|wxNO_BORDER|wxTB_FLAT, -1);
$toolbar->SetToolBitmapSize(wxSIZE(22,22));
$toolbar->AddTool(0, Wx::Bitmap->new('icons/download.png',
wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG), 'download emails');
$toolbar->AddSeparator;
$toolbar->AddTool(1, Wx::Bitmap->new('icons/new.png', wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG),
'new email');
$toolbar->Realize();

a little part of my email program written with wxPerl... you could run in
problems if you haven't all of "wxTB_HORIZONTAL|wxNO_BORDER|wxTB_FLAT"

hope it helps

[wxperl-users] Major woes - trees in ScrolledWindow

[Nick J. <sk...@er...>]

I'm using wxPerl on Win32, and I'm struggling. I've looked at all the
introductory tutorials I can find--and while I can now easily create a
frame and add menus to it, I'm having trouble doing anything else.



 Anyway, I am creating a music organiser application. The general design
is that there will be variable-width "split" at the left hand side of the
window which will display the user's music collection as a tree structure.
At the minute, my program creates a window, menus and is split into two
using Wx::SplitterWindow. Each of the split canvases is a
Wx::ScrolledWindow.

 Generally, I don't really understand how wxPerl operates. What I
understand is that you must, at the very least, extend Wx::Frame and
Wx::App and provide an OnInit method for Wx::App. That's fine, I can
understand that, and I can understand wx's event model. I can understand
creating menus, and that seems relatively straightforward.

 What I don't understand is how to create other controls inside the
different canvases. When I look at the documentation for the C++ version
of wx, I see that when I create a control, I need to specify a parent. As
far as I know, this can be any class derived from Wx::Window. However,
some of the example wxPerl programs (from which I've learnt most of what I
know about wx!) seem to suggest that objects derived from Wx::Window have
a method called "add" or similar that can be used to add controls to
windows or canvases. However, Wx::ScrolledWindow doesn't seem to support
this.

 In the code below, when I've created a tree, I've specified $lcanvas, a
reference to the left hand canvas, as the parent. If I change this to
$self (the window or frame?), the window isn't split properly and only a
small rectangular region is displayed. So, my main questions are:
- How can I add a tree to the left-hand part/canvas of the window?
- How can I generally add controls to frames?
- How can I create multiple frames for my application? How can I load and unload them?

I'm also having problems with toolbars (not included in code below). I can
create a toolbar but no buttons appear in it (I have added one button and
I have called the realise method on the toolbar).

Here's the problematic code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use Wx;

package MyCanvas;

use strict;
use vars qw(@ISA);

@ISA = qw(Wx::ScrolledWindow);

sub new {

No, it is not wrapped yet; it is present only in wxWindows 2.3.x, and
binary distributions are compiled against 2.2.x, so it would not
have been available anyway ( in the binary distributions ).

Is it possible to get TextAttr in WxPerl to work? I tried to use it on

That's what I tried (and various other ways that didn't work):

If wxPerl does not compile the logs would help ( send them to me
privately ); if it compiles and the minimal sample runs ( i.e.
it does not crash ), but has display problems ( i.e. no window
appear, menus do not work, .... ) I can't do anything about it.

Sure! The changes involved are just some tweaks to the build system;

The plan is to support Debian "woody" and "recent" ( for some value
of "recent" ) rpm-based distros.

[wxperl-users] Compile problems for wxPerl 0.10 on OS X 10.1.3

[Matt F. <ma...@iw...>]

Hello all. As I said before, I compiled and installed wxMac 2.3.2 without problems. The samples look nice :). However, I had problems compiling wxPerl 0.08. Mattia sent me a workout, and that didn't work. 0.10 came around, and I tried that. Still doesn't work, but the wxTimer error from before doesn't occur.

Please tell me what i can do (maybe send compile logs?) to help.

Matt

I'm using Lycoris Desktop/LX (based on Caldera), I'll have to look who
made the RPM.

wxPerl will remain compatible with 5.6.x though won't it?
Some distributions are very slow in catching up. I had that problem
with Debian. Dependencies wouldn't allow a manual upgrade either.

Yes, read below.

It is implemented. The problem is that I accidentally compiled it out
in the binary release, due to a difference between wx 2.2 and 2.3 .
I will put out a new Perl 5.7.3-compatible wxPerl soon,
I'll correct this too.

Which distribution are you using? The RPMs were compiled with
rh71. ( those damned linux distributors... why did they feel the need
to change the default site_perl to site-perl? )

Thanks for the report!
