No, there is no real compiler. The size of your executable mostly has to
do with the interpreter and the modules you include.

That has nothing to do with the complexity of the program you write...

Re: [wxperl-users] Perl2Exe with wxPerl

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

I'm not sure about Perl2Exe but with PerlApp, it extracts the stuff in the
exe to the TEMP system variable.  The location of the dir it extracts to is
$INC[0].  You'll be able to find "bind"ed files under there.  Knowing
this...I'm thinking *maybe* a BEGIN block could be used to copy this to a
permanant location.

yeah, it's possible... i'll do it right now...
but it's like Casey Williams says, you have to use a dll...

but when we already have this topic, i've a question to perl2exe:
i think it just takes the code and the libs to a file and when you
execute it it extracts itselft somewhere and runs the script with the
interpreter...

is this right? i think so because the exe files are always very big...
about 700kb for a simple print...
isn't there a real perl COMPILER in this whole world out there ?

Re: [wxperl-users] Perl2Exe with wxPerl

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

I tried to do this recently and found that I had to include the wx22_7.dll
*outside* the exe, as long as it's in a system dir or in the same dir as
your exe, it should work.  I've been thinking about maybe binding the dll
into the exe and then seeing if I could use a BEGIN block to copy that dll
to where it needs to be.  We'll see.

[wxperl-users] Perl2Exe with wxPerl

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

Is it possible to use Perl2Exe, or PerlApp, with wxPerl to create
binaries for distribution, or is there another way?

The 0.07 binaries include wxWindows 2.2.7, but the linux distributions
don't; it probably is 2.2.7 too

OK, the problem is:
1) EVT_COL_* events are only available in wxWindows 2.3.2 ( yet to be
 released )
2) they are wrapped only in wxPerl 0.08 ;

>-> think you don't need more code...

Now I just realized that I can't wait forever the 2.2.8 wxWindows
release, so I'll be releasing 0.08 soon ( less than a week );
I'll probably release a version compiled against the 2.3 developement
branch of wxWindows too.

The only solution with the current code is to memorize column widths
and set up an OnIdle handler to check if they hvae changed
( remember to call $event->Skip in the handler )

[wxperl-users] ListCtrl & width

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

hey folks,

to simulate a table (think wxwindows doesn't have one) i take a listCtrl in
LC_REPORT style...
but i wish the columnwith to be always 100% (like
wxLIST_AUTOSIZE_USEHEADER), even after resizing it

so my question:
is there an easy way to have a listCtrl where the columns always have 100%
of the available width?
i tried to drop some lines which handel this themself, but i was unable to
use
 EVT_LIST_COL_BEGIN_DRAG, EVT_LIST_COL_DRAGGING or EVT_LIST_COL_END_DRAG

has someone a solution for me?
would be great...

[wxperl-users] wxPerl on MacOS X, testers wanted!

[Mattia B. <mb...@ds...>]

Hello,

the current CVS / snapshot ( from some minutes ago )
correctly builds on Mac OS X 10.1 with an almost HEAD ( a couple of days 
ago ) wxMac. Since I compiled it on the SF compile farm,
I can't even run it, so I'd be glad if someone could test it.

instructions:

build wxWindows ( see the docs, but basically
  ./configure
  make
  make install

  should just work, once the compiler is configured correctly )

build wxPerl

  perl Makefile.PL
  make

test wxPerl

  make test

try some wxPerl programs

  perl run minimal
  perl run controls
  ( and so on for the programs in the 'samples' subdirectory,
    please note that there might be problems with path specifications    
)

try the wxPerl demo

  perl demo/demo.pl

Thanks!
Mattia

P.S.: this message ( on the wxpython-mac ML )
      says that python ( but I think it applies to perl too )
      needs to be compiled as an "app" for wxWindows to work,
      I just thought it might be useful to someone to know that

All these are due to the fact that wx is compiled as a DLL, but

RE: [wxperl-users] Building wxPerl with wxWindows 2.3.1, and usingXML resources

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

Dear Mattia,
Thanks for the info - I'm getting further!

I've built xrc using:
nmake -f makefile.vx FINAL=3D1
to create wxxrc.lib (rather than wxxrcd.lib), and this worked fine.

However, when I try building wxPerl, using:
nmake=20
perl Makefile.PL
nmake=20

I get the following errors (I've snipped sections out to give the gist,
as it goes on quite a bit):

My fault ( you'll notice I keep saying this quite often... )
There were other changes I forgot to check.
The current CVS/snapshot should compile OOTB

( BTW, don't forget to

  cd $WXWIN\contrib\src\xrc
  nmake -f makefile.vc

  before building wxPerl, to build xrc )

Hope this helps

However, I tried downloading the latest snapshot from

This is fixed in the current CVs; the current cvs has many
other 2.3.1 problems solved, and is in a releaseable state
( I'll release it as soon as wxwindows 2.2.8 is out ); it is
available from wxperl.sf.net -> cvs snapshots

my $res = Wx::XmlResource->new;
$res->InitAllHandlers
$res->Load( 'file.xrc' );

nethods:

LoadMenu( name )
LoadMenuBar( name )
LoadToolBar( parent, name )
LoadDialog( parent, name )
// this populates an already created dialog
// ( useful for derived classes )
LoadOnDialog( dialog, parent, name )
LoadPanel( parent, name )
// for an already created panel
LoadOnPanel( panel, parent, name )
LoadFrame( frame, parent, name )
LoadBitmap( name )
LoadIcon( name )
// for external controls
AttachUnknownControl( name, control, parent = 0 )

for the format of the xml itself:
contrib/src/xrc/format.txt
contrib/samples/xrc/rc/*.xrc

are the only references

There is one written in Python ( using wxPython )
in
http://cvs.wxwindows.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/wxPython/tools/XRCed/

There is wxWorkshop ( but it is a beta, and not yet available in binary
form )
I personally write the perl code by hand, so i can't be of much
help here...

Hope this helps

[wxperl-users] Building wxPerl with wxWindows 2.3.1, and using XML resources

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

Hi All,
I'm new to wxPerl and wxWindows, (but not to Perl...), and am a bit
confused about a couple of things...

I want to use XML resource files with wxPerl, and understand that this
is only available with the 'unstable' 2.3.1 version of wxWindows.  I've
downloaded and built this with no problems, into c:\wx2.3.1\wx23_1.dll.

Three questions:

1. How do I rebuild wxPerl to use this version of wxWindows? =20

I've tried editing build\nmake.mak to change WXWIN to c:\wx2.3.1, and
rebuilding the makefile for wxPerl and remaking, but I get the errors:

Controls.c(4498) : error C2039: 'SetString' : is not a member of
'wxRadioBox'
        c:\wx2.3.1\include\wx/msw/radiobox.h(25) : see declaration of
'wxRadioBox'
XS/RadioBox.xs(95) : error C2039: 'SetString' : is not a member of
'wxRadioBox'
        c:\wx2.3.1\include\wx/msw/radiobox.h(25) : see declaration of
'wxRadioBox'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2'

2. Given that I get things going with wxWindows 2.3.1, can someone give
me (or point me to) an overview of how to use XML-based resource files
in wxPerl?

3. Is there a  GUI designer available which will create resource files?
I've looked at wxDesigner - is there another one included with
wxWindows?

Thanks,

James Lavery

Re: (Fwd) Re: [wxperl-users] wxPerl-MacOSX compile

[Christian J. <chr...@sl...>]

Hello all

Sorry that I haven't reported back yet. Unfortunately I haven't had 
time to investigate the issue further, since I haven't a MacOSX 
installation myself and my colleague who has has been busy with other 
work, we have set back wxperl for the moment because two guys have 
offered to write our app in C++ (but then they seem to take ages to 
respond again, so it's still not sure we won't get back to wxperl 
either).

Christian.

*Looks* like a wxWindows bug ( but I need to investigate further ).
As a workaround you might want to recreate the static bitmap
every time ( yes, it is an hack... )

Thanks for reporting!

Initial Comment:
If you have created a StaticBitmap as a placeholder 
with wxNullBitmap as template and you want to change 
the bitmap by calling SetBitmap(), then the mask of 
the new bitmap is ignored and the mask of the 
placeholder bitmap (a null mask) is used instead.
Is this a feature or a bug? However it would be nicer 
to change the bitmap with its associated mask.

It is/was my fault: there is an error in Wx::CheckListBox;
use

Wx::CheckListBox( $parent, $id, $pos, $size, $items, 0x0100 );

This will be fixed the proper way in 0.08 ( that I'll put out
as sook as wxWIndows 2.2.8 is out )

Thanks!

the same error when having marked an item in the CheckListBox and

This is because you do not have a 'TextCtrl' method in the
myFrame class; second even if you had it, you need to call it
on an instance of the class .

in the OnSelCHange method add:
  my $frame = $this->GetParent();
  my $textctrl = $this->{TEXTCTRL}; # see below
  $textctrl->AppendText( 'Hi!' );
  # of course you could do
  # $this->GetParent->{TEXTCTRL}->AppendText( 'Hi!' );

in addition you can add a TextCtrl method to myFrame, like this

sub TextCtrl { $_[0]->{TEXTCTRL} }

and use $frame->TextCtrl instead of $frame->{TEXTCTRL}

if you feel that this makes your code cleaner.

Yet another solution is to pass the TextCtrl to the myTreeCtrl
constructor

i.e.

package myTreeCtrl;

# ...

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

   $this->{TEXTCTRL} = $textctrl;

}

and use it as myTreeCtrl->new( $textctrl, @other_parameters );

this avoids depending on the fact that the textctrl and the treectrl are
childs of the frame ( you might subsequntly change the layout and
have to change all calls to ->GetParent() to something else.

[wxperl-users] how can i access a control from within another package

[Paul S. <pa...@kf...>]

Hi,
 
i'm just starting using wxPerl and have the following problem: 
in the code below, in the package myFrame, i have a tree and a
textcontrol and want to print 
some data into the textcontrol each time an item in the treecontrol is
selected (e.g. directory-listing);
how can i access the textcontrol from within the sub OnSelChange in
package myTreeCtrl ?
myFrame->TextCtrl->AppendText() doesn't work.
