better: just create a MyCanvas derived from Wx::Window that is
responsible for all the input handling;
it will have an EVT_PAINT handler ( to redraw itself ), and at least
EVT_LEFT_DOWN, EVT_MOTION and EVT_RIGHT_DOWN handlers ( see the docs
for wxMouseEvent for details )

if $window is some Wx::Window and $menu your Wx::Menu then
$window->PopupMenu( $menu, $point );
or $window->PopupMenu( $menu, $x, $y );
will do

To draw lines use:
my $dc = Wx::ClientDC->new( $window );
and then call the appropriate methods on the DC ( device context )
hint: use Wx::DC::SetLogicalFunction( wxXOR ) for drawing connection
lines while dragging

[wxperl-users] Right click context menu

[Matt S. <ma...@se...>]

Hi everyone,

I've just started using WxPerl and I like what I see so far.

I need to create an app with the following user interface:

A big window with a menu bar and status bar (I can do that from the
example on perl.com).

A toolbar.

A way from the toolbar or menu for adding a component onto the page (this
would be a frame with an image in, I think).

From the component, a right-click context menu (this is the bit I can't
figure out how you do in WxPerl).

A way to join the components together using "wires" - basically lines
drawn from component to component. The lines should move around if I
click-drag the components around.

Anyway, hope someone can help - I don't need code, just some pointers as
to where to look, since the docs are kinda lacking ;-)

I went back and re-checked the tar.gz file for the PPD distribution and
sure enough the wxWindows .dll is there. For some reason the PPD install
didn't bring it over ... I deleted my previously compiled .dll and now it
works like a charm, my thanks for your help.

Hhm, it is distributed in the PPM, and should be in:
\site\lib\auto\Wx\ after installation
If it isn't you could just take the Wx-0.07 .tar.gz in the distribution,
and take the DLL from there.
But it should really be installed by ppm when you do
ppm install

Short instructions:
* reinstall with PPM, and remove any wx22_7.dll in your path
* if it does not work report to the list what the error message
  is ( but it really should work... )

No, but Perl threads might just work, if you don't call GUI functions 
from them ( but I _never_ tried )
OTOH, you don't need threads for just a 'stop me' button.
I modified the minimal sample like this:
-------
sub OnAbout {
  my( $this, $event ) = @_;

  MyDialog->new( $this, -1, "AAA" );

  foreach ( 1 .. 100000 ) { sleep 1;Wx::Yield(); }

  # display a simple about box
  Wx::MessageBox( "This is the about dialog of minimal sample.\n" .
		  "Welcome to wxPerl " . $Wx::VERSION . "\n" .
		  wxVERSION_STRING,
		  "About minimal", wxOK | wxICON_INFORMATION,
		  $this );
}

package MyDialog;

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

use Wx::Event qw(EVT_BUTTON);

use Wx qw(wxOK wxICON_INFORMATION wxVERSION_STRING);

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

  my $button = Wx::Button->new( $this, -1, "Click" );

  EVT_BUTTON( $this, $button, \&Foo );

  $this->Show( 1 );

  return $this;
}

sub Foo {
  Wx::MessageBox( "AA", "BB", wxOK, $_[0] );
}
------
And clicking on the button shows a dialog, just does so once every
second, though, so if every iteration of the loop takes, say,
20 seconds, you will be able to stop the calculation just once
every 20 seconds

You are correct, I did not, I used the ppm distribution for wxPerl. I
compiled wxWindows because I could not find a pre-compiled binary. Do you
know of one that will work with the ppm version of wxPerl? Perhaps I'm
making this more difficult than it need be; I appreciate your patience and

Looks suspiciously like you didn't recompile wxPerl against the
wxWindows library you compiled.

Why not start with the ppm package? It is compiled against
2.2.7, so what is the problem/why are you recompiling wxWindows?

The only "real" solution to your problem is to use threads; as an
( ugly ) workaround you might use a wxTimer; using wxYield is _strongly_ 
discouraged because it can lead to unexpected reentrancy
problems ( of course there are cases where you can't do without ).
I never used it, so I can't tell if the handlers not being fired is

Hey guys,
    I've been seaching through the doc's for a way to fire off Events =
even if I'm running a loop such as...

I've found the Yield() and SafeYield() functions.  But those only allow =
the GUI to be updated for interaction, but don't allow the functions =

 Anyone have any advice?

[wxperl-users] Entry point failure in simple test app?

[<jdi...@ge...>]

After compiling wxWindows into a DLL on a WinNT system using ActivePerl
build 623 w/ VC++ I've created a simple wxPerl app to test it's
functionality. When launching a script that runs:

#####
use MyModule::GUI::App;

# Create an instance of the Wx::App-derived class
my $app = new MyModule::GUI::App();

# Start processing events
$app->MainLoop();

I get an error in the App.pm file at the line that states:

use Wx qw(wxDefaultPosition);

and a window pops up saying:

"The procedure entry point
Above__28wxIndividualLayoutConstraintP12wxWindowBasei count not be located

Generally when you read "for NT" or "for 95/NT" it does
work on 2k too ( 2k =~ NT 5.0 )

[Chris W. <ch...@wz...>]

Is wxTaskBarIcon implemented in wxPerl?  I looked through the keys of %Wx::
but couldn't find any mention of it.  I'm running Windows 2000, and I hope
the statement made in the following document that this class is only
supported for Windows 95/NT doesn't imply that it's not supported in later
versions of Windows.

wxTaskBarIcon:
http://parthe.lpthe.jussieu.fr/~zeitlin/wxWindows/docs/wxwin383.htm

I'm moving over from Win32::GUI due to some unsavoury shortcomings, and I'm
very impressed with both wxWindows and wxPerl!

They are just IDs ( identifiers ); in wxPerl you rarely need 
explicit identifires ( i.e. passing an id != -1 ), but in wxWindows
( C++ ) you can't do without them ( OK, you _could_ do, but it would
be impratical )

I had it on 2k, too, the problem is that you need to
combine flags using '|', not passing a list of them; i.e.
you do [wxLB_NEEDED_SB, wxLB_EXTENDED], but you must
do wxLB_NEEDED_SB|wxLB_EXTENDED

RE: [wxperl-users] wxPerl "weirdness"

[Casey W. <wil...@nc...>]

Ok, I'll work on putting something together.  This is a straight script
without Perlapp.  I fixed some of the problems by putting everything in
the same file instead of using .pm's.  I dunno why that would make a
difference, but it did.  I'm probably subtly doing something wrong, that
won't be reproduced in a smaller script, but I'll give it a go. :)
Also, this is using the original events.pm, not my version with
everything in the @EXPORTS_OK array.

Thanks for your time!

If you could make a small example that consistently reproduce the
problem it would be perfect. Are you using threads? Are you seeing this
just with perl2exe, or on 'normal' scripts too?

Hey Guys,
	I'm wondering if anyone has gotten results anything like I'm
getting.  I can change very little things in a program, and it will
cause wxPerl to crash.  Also, I added an event and now default text
shows up as *'s.  I know I'm being very non-specific, I'm just wondering
if anyone else has had weird things happen like this.  I'd be happy to

First, Thanks to Mattia for creating wxPerl. I looked at wx twice in
the last 1.5 years, but it didn't support Perl, so I decided to move.
This is very cool :-)

I just compiled the treectrl sample with Perl2Exe and it worked when
the wx22_7.dll was in the same directory from which the application was
run. Are you saying that more complex applications do not run at all,
or that they do not work in the way you were experimenting with?

I'd like to ask the Perl2Exe developers if they would support wxPerl.
Can you give me any technical info as to what they need to do which I
could send them?

I need to be able to distribute my applications to regular Windows
users, so an .exe file is necessary if I'm to use wxPerl. Wx looks
great, so I hope it is possible.

Thanks,

Marcus

Re: [wxperl-users] Perl2Exe with wxPerl

[Casey W. <wil...@nc...>]

LOL!  Sure!  Let me know the event name whenever you add and event and I'll
add it to the list and send it back to you. ;)

But honestly, it's not hard to make this work by adding them myself, so it's
no big deal.  As far as the exe builders, I think you're setup is a bit too
complicated for'em.  There are some things those builders shouldn't do.  So
it may not be a problem, more of a feature. ;)

Oh, and you'll send me an updated list everytime
I add a new event? ;-)
Seriously: I once had the @EXPORT_OK list in Wx::Event,
but when I wrote the code to automatically generate the export list
for constants ( at the moment they are avove 1000 ... ), I figured
it'd be easier to autogenerate exports for events too. You should

Re: [wxperl-users] Perl2Exe with wxPerl

[Casey W. <wil...@nc...>]

Ok, may have figured it out...I was getting these errors...

    U:\Perls\Wx\VNC>perlapp -f -g -c vncadmin.pl -exe testwx.exe
    "EVT_MENU" is not exported by the Wx::Event module at VA_Frame.pm line 5
    "EVT_SIZE" is not exported by the Wx::Event module at VA_Frame.pm line 5

    FreeStanding Builder failed to compile the script : Can't continue after
import errors at
    VA_Frame.pm line 5
    BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at VA_Frame.pm line 5.
    BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 30) line 5.

...whenever I tried building with PerlApp.  So...I opened up the Event.pm in
the Wx directory in my site\lib dir and added all of the events that I'm
using in my program to the @EXPORT_OK array.  Now building and running
works.

My question is...Would adding all of the Events in the Event.pm file into
the @EXPORT_OK array screw anything up, (I don't see why it would)?  If not,
could this be added in the next release of wxPerl? :)  Heck, I'll do it and
send in if the developer doesn't want the hassle. :)

It seems that easy wxPerl scripts work with PerlApp  However, once I started
importing events and such, PerlApp started bombing.  I'll hack around and
