[wxperl-users] bug in wx::Image??

[Jouke V. <jo...@pv...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to load a JPG file in a wxImage object, which fails in every
way. First I tried this code:

Wx::InitAllImageHandlers();
my $image = Wx::Image->new();
$image->LoadFile("i.jpg", wxBITMAP_TYPE_JPEG);

Which results in:
"Undefined subroutine &Wx::Image::LoadFileSType called at
C:/perl/site/lib/Wx/Image.pm line 44.

After that I tried to do it with:

Wx::InitAllImageHandlers();
my $image = Wx::Image->new("i.jpg", wxBITMAP_TYPE_JPEG);

Which results in a pagefault, with details:

module MSVCRT.DLL op015f:78001648.

Any suggestions?

I'm running Windows 98, using ActiveState Perl 5.6.0 and wxPerl 0.7
(binary PPD distribution).

Re: [wxperl-users] (cygwin) Fw: wxMSW perl bindings

[<sw...@at...>]

i tried wxGTK-2.2.7.tar.gz,
i had to tweak references in configure and configure.in
from *-*-cygwin32 to *-*-cygwin* as my host is shown as
i686-pc-cygwin, and insert "/usr/local/w32api" into SEARCH_INCLUDES..then
<snip>
./configure --with-cygwin --prefix=/usr/local/wxMSW
</snip>

configure ran fine! until i ran make where it croaked on
<snip>
$ make
Makefile:178: src/msw/files.lst: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `src/msw/files.lst'.  Stop.
</snip>

the msw tree is missing (natrually i guess seeing its wxGTK),
is there anyway i can get the full source tree with the configure
script? or at least wxMSW*.zip?
im not fimilar with CVS, but i take it the full source lies there..
i dont think its a "neat" idea copying the src/msw from
wxMSW-2.2.7.zip into wxGTK-2.2.7.. eeek

regards

Re: [wxperl-users] (cygwin) Fw: wxMSW perl bindings

i dont have configure, i used the src pkg
wxMSW-2.2.7.zip, i used cygwin, but it compiled
with mingw prefab makefiles, i could try downloading
the unix src pkg?, its just that i saw cygwin has been
tested with the wxMSW*.zip pkg so that is the one
i used..

perhaps i will try wxGTK as i have GTK setup
properly in my cygwin enviroment (i assume that
will use configure),  but i didnt want the gtk.dll cygwin.dll
overhead?

or hopefully wxPerl will start shipping with
cygwin perl binaries :) instead of active perl.

OK, but have you installed it?
I didn't test wxPerl under cygwin, but here is what I would do:
$ cd wxWindows-source
$ ./configure --option1 --option2 ...
$ make 
$ maek install <<< did you do that

The last command places all include files, libraries and wx-config
under /usr/local ( you can change it using --prefix )

Good!

Is the directory where wx-config lies in your path
if not, do

$ PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
$ wx-config --version
2.2.7 <<< this is wx-config output
$

I wondered if anyone yet tried to compile wxPerl on a Mac. If not, I'd
like to ask around a bit at the guys doing MacPerl because this would
*really* be the big pro for wxPerl compared to Tk. wxWindows itself is
ported to the Mac, so I think in theory it should be possible.

Cheers!

Ah, you didn't read the README.txt, right ;-) ?
I personally test wxPerl on Linux for every release,
as specified in the README.

You need to install wxWindows ( as IIRC is specified in the README.txt
and/or INSTALL.txt )

I can just build binaries for Win32/Linux, as they are the only
boxes I have access to.

You can download wxWindows sources from http://www.wxwindows.org/
be sure to download the
2.2.7 version, as the 2.3.1 is a developent release.
Be sure to read the installation docs/FAQs and the
list archives at http://lists.wxwindows.org/search/.
because there are some installation notes about Solaris.

>Thats it for now - thanks and best wishes
BTW: for the future, post to wxp...@li... :
as I conly have access to Win32/Linux, someone else might
answer better your questions about Solaris/FreeBSD .

The main problem I am having right now is POE depends on the
event loop for which it is supporting for IO events such as
knowing when data is available on an FD. In Gtk it uses
Gtk::Gdk->input_add and Gtk::Gdk->input_remove which allows
it to set up events based on weather an FD has stuff waiting or
is ready to recieve data.

I will do some more research and see if there is a way to work-
around the lack of IO events. Thanks a lot for your time.

Cheers,

Scott

Thanks! I love POE and Wx looks to be the upcoming GUI for perl.
It looks much nicer than Tk and is portable, what more can you ask!

Hi Scott,

Mattia might have an answer to this question, but if not, you might try
to ask this question on the wxWindows mailinglist, because it seems it
is more related to the wxWindows API than wxPerl specifically.

But great work you're doing here with the POE patch!

[wxperl-users] Wx::InputStream

[Scott B. <sc...@go...>]

Hi,

I am writting a patch for POE to work with the Wx event loop and
ran into a small snag. Does Wx currently have the ability to check
for data on a file descriptor? I found Wx::InputStream looking
through the code but I can not find any examples of it's usage.
I looked through the wxwindows site and found:
	wxInputStream is an abstract base class which may not be used directly.

Which it appears this Wx::InputStream is suppose to be an implimention 
of.

Any help with examples or explaination of usage will be
very appreciated.

Cheers,

Scott

Assuming the latter program is a long running one,
you could use IPC::Open3 to spawn the program and get its STDOUT and 
STDERR, set up a timer, and in the timer function use select 
RBITS,WBITS,EBITS,TIMEOUT ( see perlfunc ) to see if something is 
available on STDERR/STDOUT, read and display it.

Hi,

Thank you very much Mattia Barbon for developing wxPerl. With the help of =
your samples and Jouke Visser's tutorial I was able to get a simple GUI up =
and running v.quickly.=20

I have a GUI that takes user input and does a system call to another perl =
script. This works fine. What I would like to do is to divert the latter =
program's standard output and error messages to a TextCtrl on my GUI . =
Could anyone give me hints on how to get started with this?

RE: [wxperl-users] Problems with EVT_TOOL_ENTER

I had tried this, but wasn't sure if that was the way to go.

The only reason I was going to use this functionality is due to the fact
that the "Long Help" message for a tool on the toolbar doesn't get removed
from the status bar like it should.  I was going to blank it out myself.

Mmh, looks quite broken. WRT your previous post, from the toolbar 
docs: 

EVT_TOOL_ENTER(id, func) Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_TOOL_ENTER event.  
******Pass the id of the toolbar itself*******. The value of  
wxCommandEvent::GetSelection is the tool id, or -1 if the mouse  
cursor has moved off a tool.  

So in fact your previous code ( passing the tool id ) was wrong ( you 
 should have passed the toolbar id ); the fact that you don't get an 
event for the leave, is wrong, anyway. 

Looking at the code, seems that nobody uses this feature, it got 
broken someday, and no one noticed...

RE: [wxperl-users] Problems with EVT_TOOL_ENTER

[Bradley M. H. <bh...@ja...>]

This did work for when the mouse moved over the control.  However, the
documentation says that the EVT_TOOL_ENTER event is also supposed to handle
when the mouse moves off of the control as well, and that is not happening.

I've included my code again for reference.

RE: [wxperl-users] Problems with EVT_TOOL_ENTER

[Bradley M. H. <bh...@ja...>]

Sorry about not specifying all the proper information.

Platform:	Win98
wxPerl:	0.07	(assumption was correct).
wxWindows:	2.2.7


In the meantime, I will try your suggestion and let you know.

You didn't say platform/wxPerl version
I'll assume MSW/0.07

Well, for some value of right... the code *is* right,
but ( after some debugging ) *looks* like a bug in wxWindows

> I've have attached my sample program code.
Thanks for the sample code!

for now, use
EVT_TOOL_ENTER( $this, -1, \&Func );

and use $event->GetInt() in the event handler
to discriminate between the tools
( of course it is an hack, but I need more investigation
  for a proper fix )

BTW, as you might have noticed, putting -1 as the id in the
event macro, acts as a wildcard: matches all ids

[wxperl-users] Problems with EVT_TOOL_ENTER

[Bradley M. H. <bh...@ja...>]

I've got a test program that I'm messing around with to get the hang of the
wxPerl API.  I'm trying to use EVT_TOOL_ENTER to captures mouse events over
a toolbar button.  However, when I move my mouse over the button the
subroutine does not execute.  I was wondering, if I am defining the
EVT_TOOL_ENTER definition wrong, or in the wrong spot.

Could someone please see if I'm doing it right?

I've have attached my sample program code.

Wx::BitmapButton, if your icon is a bitmap,
otherwise, do

my $bitmap = new Wx::Bitmap( $icon );

to create a bitmap from the icon, and use the
resulting bitmap

Re: [wxperl-users] Icons and Buttons

[Jouke V. <jo...@co...>]

What you want is probably wxBitmapButton. That lets you define an image
for a button's label. It's derrived from wxButton.

[wxperl-users] Icons and Buttons

[Bradley M. H. <bh...@ja...>]

Is there a way to make an Icon the label for Button using WxPerl.  I've
looked through the WxWindows docs and can't find it any where?

Re: [wxperl-users] wxperl on MacOSX

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

There are various problems:
1 - I don't have a Mac, so someone else shoild work on it
    ( any takers? ;-) )
2 - wxWindows on MacOS X is still not as stable as the Windows/GTK 
    ports, though it is progressing steadily, and the developers are
    generally very responsive WRT bugreports; on MacOS 9 it should
    be pretty stable though
3 - On MacOS 9 you need to use Codewarrior which isn't free

If you want to give it a try to port wxPerl to MacOS, I'll be glad to
help you as much as possible. I know almost nothing about Perl on
Mac, but hearing that OS X is very Unix-ish, it should not be too 
hard. Anyway if you want to try the port, use the wxWindows'
developement branch ( 2.3.1 ), or the CVS head.

I'm afraid you'll need some work to port it

wxWindows has wxSocket, which is integrated with the wxWindows' event
system (i.e. you have an EVT_SOCKET macro to fire an event handler
when something happens ).
However you could as well try using a timer, with minimal 
modification of your code; it really depends upon your
exact requirements.
