docs for wxMouseEvent -> Event table macros -> EVT_RIGHT_DOWN(func)
just remember that in wxPerl you need to pass an addition Wx::EvtHandler ( any 
Wx::Windows is a Wx::EvtHandler ) as the
first parameter ( so for wxPerl EVT_RIGHT_DOWN($evthandler,$coderef);

use Wx::Event qw(EVT_RIGHT_DOWN);

my $button = new Wx::Button( ... );

EVT_RIGHT_DOWN( $button, sub { ... } );
# or
EVT_RIGHT_DOWN( $button, \&OnRightDown );

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

Take a look at this page of mouse events:
http://www.lpthe.jussieu.fr/~zeitlin/wxWindows/docs/wxwin260.htm#wxmouseevent

It's the documentation for wxWindows, not wxPerl, so the usage may be slightly different in Perl than in C++, but it should give you an idea.

Also, you might want to bookmark the wxWindows documentation:
http://www.lpthe.jussieu.fr/~zeitlin/wxWindows/docs/wxwin.htm

Great! But ..

Where can I find a sample for a Right-Click.. or a lead in a document? I =
have a
GUI where I need to (need as in: would like to) detect a right-click on a
button.

if you mean a file dialog in which you can select multiple files,
then yes ( it is the standard Win32 dialog ).

Attached there is a list of all implemented classes

[wxperl-users] Implemented controls

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

Could you tell me whether the following controls have been implemented,
or are planned to be. I'm seriously considering moving to wxPerl.

- Windows System Tray Icon

- Multiple File selector (I can see menus for this in one of the
samples)

- Tooltips

- Right-Click event ( I ask because this has been difficult in
Win32::GUI )

Where can I find out what has already been implemented?

Thanks,

Marcus

do not do "make ./minimal", just "make" and then run the resulting program ./minimal 
( or maybe it has some extension in Mac )
( I don't know if it makes any difference, but just try )

I tried also with g++ symlinked to c++ and I get exactly the same 
errors. I'm not an Unix guru, so I don' t understand what's happening 
here.

Hmm, that's odd. When I do so, I get this:

I don't have g++ and I see that gcc is symlinked to cc, so I 
symlinked g++ to cc in /usr/bin.

Now I get this when I run the command make ./minimal:

  I have a lot of header files at /usr/local/include/wx.

To test wxWindows, just

cd path_to_wx_build_dir/samples/minimal
make
./minimal

for wxPerl I am afraid I can't help you ( if the above test works );
I just compiled wxPerl for wxMac once, on the SF compile farm, and
was not able to see it ( can't run a graphic app over ssh );

[wxperl-users] Test fails on Mac OS X 10.1.1 with the Wx-0.08 package

[Emmanuel. M. D. <em...@sc...>]

Hello,

I have installed WxWindow (wxMAC-2.3.2) with success (I think) on OS 
X 10.1.1, but WxPerl fail to install. This is on G4 400 AGP with 320 
MB of RAM.

I tried from CPAN.pm or from the sources that I got here:
<http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxperl/Wx-0.08.tar.gz>


Here's the what I get back for the tests.

Each test seems to fail on the line:

"use Wx;"

So, what should I do to test that WxWindows was properly builds and 
to be able to install WxPerl.

TIA

Mattia,
Thanks, as usual, for the to-the-point and quick support!

If/when I manage to produce a useful validator, I would be more than
happy to submit it.  Currently I'm still getting my head round how
everything fits together!

[wxperl-users] wxValidator available via wxPerl

Dear Mattia,
I would like to use validators in my Perl application, but am not clear
whether they have been wrapped.

Are they available?

Yes, and no; you can use Wx::PlValidator and derive
your own valiadtors, but the standard
Wx::TextValidator and Wx::GenericValidator are not wrapped,
because at the time I has quite a lot other more important classes to wrap ( it was 
before wxPerl 0.01 ), and then just forgot about it.

By the way, I think that wxGenericValidator and wxTextValidator are
quite limited, and their functionalities can be implemented
in Perl ( using Wx::PlValidator ), probably with a better interface.

To derive a new validator:

package MyValidator;

use vars qw(@ISA); @ISA = qw(Wx::PlValidator);

sub new {
	my $class = shift;
	my $this = $class->SUPER::new();

    ...

    return $this;
}

# see the docs for the three following functions
sub TransferFromWindow { ... }
sub TransferToWindow { ... }
sub Validate { ... }

1;

Of course no one stops you from contributing your validators
back to wxPerl, if you feel like it...

Mattia

Yeah, so you have to wrap it up a bit. Or use POE.

ok,
i'll tried it with fork()... (looks like active perl doesn't support
Thread.pm)
the problem is that i have a process that needs some time, if i just call it
the gui freezes while the process works...
how can i prevent this? thought it would be a solution to make a thread and
wait for it, but this freezes the window too (right? didn't test it)

so, can someone give me an example how to solve this problem?
would be great

thanks and by

Well, you are right ( and why was I so sure I had wrapped
wxConfig? ); Now in the todo for the next version.

Yes, it is used just while building.

No, _I_ was wrong

Dear Mattia,
I don't think there is a Wx::Config, either (at least, not on my
machine)! =20

Looking in Wx.pm, there is mention of Wx::App etc, but not of
Wx::Config.

There is a wxConfig.pm in the build directory under my Wx-0.08 directory
(i.e. where I unzipped the distribution).  Should I have used extra make
options to make/install wxConfig?  Or is this wxConfig.pm being used
just to control the make/build?

I'm sure I'm missing something simple....

There is no wxConfig... when looking at wx docs, wxFoo is Wx::Foo
in wxPerl ( think wxApp -> Wx::App ).

[wxperl-users] Using wxConfig in wxPerl

[James L. <ja...@mi...>]

I want to use wxConfig to save window position etc., and am having
trouble doing so.

It seems that wxConfig.pm has not been installed by default when
building/installing wxPerl, as when I try:

use wxConfig;

my $objConfig =3D wxConfig->new('MyApp');

I get the following error:

Can't locate wxConfig.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
c:/perl/5.6.1/lib/MSWin32-x86 c:/perl/5.6.1/lib
c:/perl/site/5.6.1/lib/MSWin32-x86 c:/perl/
site/5.6.1/lib .) at C:\MYDOCU~1\TFFC\MSEC-052\play\Test.pl line 11.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
C:\MYDOCU~1\TFFC\MSEC-052\play\Test.pl line 11.

Of course, I'm new to wxWindows, so my understanding of *how*  to use
wxConfig is probably at fault, too!

Help/pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,

wxThread is not yet wrapped; I didn't wrap it because if you want threads, you should 
use Perl threads, not wx ones; the only caveat is that you can only call the GUI 
functions from the main thread
( the one in wich Wx::App was created ); other threads can communicate with the main 
thread using Wx::EvtHandler::AddPendingEvent();
