[wxperl-users] Minor inconsistency using MenuItem and EVT_MENU

[Everett, Toby <TEverett@ALASCOM.ATT.com>]

I was playing around with using -1 as the passed control ID in the
constructor as described in
http://wxperl.sourceforge.net/manual/manual4.html
<http://wxperl.sourceforge.net/manual/manual4.html>;  .  I noticed that it
doesn't work:).  In the interim, I've simply created an interator in my
package and used that for the constructor.  I also noticed that I had to
explicitly call ->GetId() when using EVT_MENU.

I've just started playing with wxPerl - someone mentioned it on the PDK
mailing list, and my curiosity was piqued.  I've been a long-time PerlTk
user, but Tk suffers from a rather non-standard look and feel under Win32.
As I've started playing with wxPerl, my initial goal has been to develop a
set of viable patterns because my experience with Perl/Tk has taught me that
the hardest thing to do is to manage all of the widgets in program in a
manner that minimizes maintenance headaches.  The ID situation struck me as
a bit of a kludge, and so I was happy to discover there are ways around it.

[wxperl-users] remove TextCtrl border

[Scott Lanning <slanning@th...>]

I read on this list a couple days ago (from Mattia) how you
should use TextCtrl with read-only style rather than StaticText
in order to let the user copy/paste. I want to make the TextCtrl
"blend in" to the window behind like StaticText does, though.
I set the background color okay, but still there is a border (box)
around the text. Is there a way to remove the border?

Basically I just want to put some copy-able text onto the
window. Maybe I have overlooked something.

[wxperl-users] Doc/View Framework

[Simon Flack <simon.flack@bb...>]

Hi Mattia,

I have most of this working now. I'd like to get the wxFileHistory class
working and tidy up a bit before I send a patch in.

In all likelyhood this probably won't impliment 100% of the framework
because I'm somewhat an XS\C++ novice, although I hope to be as close as
possible. There's already enough to write an enhanced windows notepad with
MDI, which I'll include for the /samples folder.

I should be ready to send patch for review towards the end of the week. How
do you want that?
