Thanks Mattia -- one other thing I found in the generated Makefile -- it 
fails to create some needed directories at the end for the wxPerl 
generation for OSX.

  There is no missing #endif, but the HitTest block must be moved

[wxperl-users] Code Snippet for Notebook HitTest error

[<AOu...@fr...>]

Hi,

here a sample (modified hello.pl from wxPerl) that demonstrate the error 
when I try to use HitTest with right mouse button. Just klick the right 
mouse button over any tab.

Also, I looked at the source (Notebook.xs), there is something odd, that 
might explain it. As I understand it, there is line 84 "#if 
WXPERL_W_VERSION_LE( 2, 5, 1 )" and the HitTest is only compiled when 
"#if WXPERL_W_VERSION_GE( 2, 5, 2 )" at line 129. Seems to me that this 
cant work (maybe a #endif is missing before line 129 ???).

Cheers,

Andre

[wxperl-users] XRC and AddStyle

[Eriam S. <er...@er...>]

Hello

Still having problems with custom controls in XRC, now my problem is to 
handle styles.

Though I do a

      $this->AddStyle('wxLC_REPORT',   0x0020);

Before creating the control

       my $ctrl = My::Own::ListCtrl->new(
          $this->GetParentAsWindow,
         $this->GetID,
         $this->GetPosition,
         $this->GetSize,
         $this->GetStyle( "style", 0 )
       );   

But I still get an error message .. "Unknown style flag wxLC_REPORT".

Thank you

You're welcome.

I've never taken the time to determine whether it's a wxWidgets or a =20
wxPerl problem. Perhaps you could.
If it's a wxPerl problem, you can mention it either on wxperl-users =20
or file a bug report at www.sourceforge.net/projects/wxperl. If it =20
turns out to be in wxWidgets, wx-...@li... is the =20
place to bring it up. Incidentally, if you're not already joined =20
there, that's an excellent list for keeping up with wxWidgets.

I hope Mark is actually reading this list...

Yes, it appears that it isn't possible to override Create nor to pass  
it arguments. The way I work around that is to write an init function  
for my subclasses which I call explicitly after loading a resource  
which uses them. It's neither elegant nor convenient, but it can be  
done in Perl.

I think that the way to fire off the subclass's create (as well as to  
parse and pass additional parameters from the resource file) is to  
write a custom XmlResourceHandler, but I have not tried this myself.

John Ralls

[wxperl-users] Wx::XmlResource XRC and Wx::Window::FindWindowByName

[Eriam S. <er...@er...>]

Hello

I wrote a custom control that inherits from wxListCtrl and I also wrote
a custom handler to add it to a window when I include it in a XRC file:

    <object class=3D"My::Own::ListCtrl" name=3D"results">
      <pos>45,45</pos>
      <size>360,100</size>
    </object>

Now it works very fine and I can access control's ID with

Wx::XmlResource::GetXRCID

and assign events to controls like that.

Though when I want to ru methods on this object I would do just like
usually for other controls, simply with the

Wx::Window::FindWindowByName

but sadly it does not work for my custom control I built. I though maybe
I made a mistake in the XRC (Wx::PlXmlResourceHandler) handler but I
checked and it seems everything looks like in the demo (create the
control and SetupWindow and CreateChildren).

So the problem is I can retrieve the ID of the created object but I
can't retreive the object itself to run methods on it.

Any idea gentlemen ?

Thank you and have a great day.

[wxperl-users] wxPerl 0.51

Hi,

I have just compiled the new wxPerl with Alien. The question for me is 
now, which wxWidgets is in use when I start my app. The one under Alien 
or the one under Wx ?

Is the Version String correct with a comma (was a point before) ?

And when I try to use Wx::Notebook HitTest, I get an error that the 
function isn't implemented. But when I check the XS files it is defined 
there.

Did I do something wrong ? Should I have deleted the old wxPerl before 
compiling ?

I am trying to subclass controls created using XRC but I am having

The problem is that the controls are created with the 2-step process usin=

For example,

Wx::SomeCtrl->new;		# without parameters
Wx::SomeCtrl::Create( @_ );	# all parameters specified here

Unfortunately the Create() method is not virtual (is that the correct
terminology?) or I cannot override this method, so I am unable to "assist=

Is this possible in plain Perl or do I need to go deeper to the XS level?=

[wxperl-users] Very Strange Problem

[Mark W. <ma...@ne...>]

Hello,

I have a very strange problem where I eventually end up with an application
error on WinXP.

The sequence of steps are as follows:

- connect to a MS SQL database using DBI - DBD ODBC
- disconnect from database
- connect to the same or another database
- all controls now show without XP style
- notebook tabs show a black background

This sequence is part of a large, complicated program so I am unable to
produce a small, scaled down sample.

Has anyone else ever experienced the same or similar problems?
What is the best way to troubleshoot the XP application errors?

Any help appreciated

Regards
Mark

[wxperl-users] Packaging Apps

[Mark D. <mar...@zn...>]

There is now an updated module to help with PAR / PDK/Perlapp and Perl2Exe.

Wx::Perl::Packager is available at http://www.gigi.co.uk/wxperl/.

This is now a pure perl module taking advantage of the methods wxPerl
provides.

PDK /Perlapp no longer includes the wxWidgets DLLs automatically since
wxPerl 0.49.  The package contains a script - wxpdk - which helps with
this by creating a .perlapp file with the wxWidgets DLLs already noted.

Also at http://www.gigi.co.uk/wxperl/ppm.html their are PPMs available
for Wx-0.50 and Alien-wxWidgets-0.14. Install Alien-wxWidgets first.

Portaudio is the classic library and more mature, but at the time I 
found RtAudio cleaner and easier for smaller projects and also the Jack 
support was important to me.

RtAudio would also lend itself to implementation in a Wx style by 
hooking the non blocking API into wx events.  So basically you would 
instantiate a WxSound object, then set it to start playing at a certain 
sample rate with a certain number of channels and it would just fire a 
"feed me" event which lets you load it up with the next block of data 
and the same again to let you have any recorded samples. 

PortAudio and RtAudio are the only two really mature cross platform 
libraries that I am aware of though.

Only slightly related to your problems, but I have worked with RtAudio 
for a couple of projects and it's pretty decent under Linux, Windows and 
(never tested) Mac.  If you needed a much more advanced cross platform 
library then look very hard at that

http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~gary/rtaudio/

I have sent in a few patches which are included in the latest release 
for handling simultaneous record and playback and actually the library 
is now more than accurate for taking impulse response measurements for 
measuring rooms and loudspeakers - so basically you have a lot of 
control and the library is accurate.  Supports just about every sound 
API out there as well!

It would be great to see this wrapped under (or both) perl and wxWidgets

Good luck
