This documentation's fault: SetEditable has been deprecated ( so I
didn't wrap it ); use ::EnableEditing.

Yes, it is; you can find more up to date documentation in the 2.3.x releases;
it will document some methods that are not available in 2.2.x, but should
be generally more up to date.

[wxperl-users] wxGetOsDescription - available under wxPerl?

[James L. <jl...@bi...>]

Hi Mattia,
I want to be able to display on my application's About box general
environment information, including the OS  description.  I'm getting an
error when autoloading wxGetOsDescription - is this available under wxPerl?

I remember seeing somewhere a list of all the controls/functions currently
mapped across to wxPerl - is this still available, and if so where?

On a more general note - really a wxWindows question - is there a wxWindows
function which returns the current wxWindows version?

Thanks,

James

yes, it is

wxVERSION_STRING 

and I remember seeing it in one of the wxPerl demos.
Since then, all my OnAbout methods do

Wx::MessageBox( qq{
           This is Application, version $App::Version

           running on wxPerl $Wx::VERSION
           @{[wxVERSION_STRING()]}
});

[wxperl-users] SetStatusText Help

[Erich C. B. <eri...@be...>]

Hi everyone,

I have an application that I am building with wxPerl 0.10.  I have created a
notebook on the frame (with a status bar) with one Panel - this is a login
panel.  When the user enters their username and password, they press the
login button which calls a subroutine to connect to another host.  When the
connection is successful, I want to print a message in the status bar.
However, when I call

Wx::Frame->SetStatusText("Success", 1);

from the subroutine, the app dies.  No errors, warnings, or anything.  What
am I doing wrong?

Also, is there a way to format the font color for the text in the status
bar?  For example, I want success messages to be in blue, and errors in red.

Thanks in advance for your help!

you should probably get a reference to the statusbar and work with that.

assuming $frame is your reference to the application frame:

my $sb = $frame->GetStatusBar();

never tried, but $sb->SetForegroundColour(new Wx::Colour('Red')) might 
work.

Not yet

Grep the source; I should probably generate it automatically,
but there are more important things to do to wxPerl...

There is wxVERSION_STRING, as suggested in another message
( used in samples/minimal/minimal.pl ); or you can use
$Wx::_wx_version that is a number like 2.002009 or 2.003002.
Ut sould probably be wrapped in some nice wxFOO, though; I;ll try to
remember...
