[wxperl-users] stc library not found while trying to install Wx-0.67 on FC5

[Sam & L. S. <sam...@gm...>]

I'm running Redhat Fedora Core 5 (FC5) and the Wx-0.67 'perl Makefile.PL'
command complains about stc as follows.  Please help me understand what's
wrong.   I was able to go back and install Wx-0.27 with no problems.

-----------------------------------------------------

I've installed wxWidgets 2.6.2 from source, then installed the stc library
from source.

Here is the output from wx-config:
  [root@localhost Wx-0.67]# wx-config --libs stc
  -L/usr/local/lib -pthread   -lwx_gtk2_stc-2.8 -lwx_base-2.8

hi

is it normal, that your environment is configured for wx-2.8, but stc
library is present for 2.6 only?

I have the same problem with wxPerl-0.67 and wx-2.8 and the head revision as
well
(all the versions are coherent in my case).
The only way to install 0.67 I found is by disabling the stc.

Re: [wxperl-users] stc library not found while trying to install Wx-0.67 on FC5

[Toxa <af-...@fr...>]

hi, Mark

thank you for your reply!

I build wx from cvs (head revision, as well as 2.8) and I build and install
"stc" from the wx source tree.
stc is installed on my system in the same directory as wx itself.
But it looks like wxPerl does not detect it:

...

Hi,

So what is in your Alien::wxWidgets directories? Are the required
libraries there?

Hi,

The first question would be - have you actually built stc?

Second, Wx now relies on Alien::wxWidgets which, amongst other things,
will build wxWidgets nicely for you and give you independent wxWidgets
libraries for wxPerl.

Slight problem is that Alien::wxWidgets is currently attached to
wxWidgets 2.6.3 - but this is easily fixed.

1.) Download source for Alien::wxWidgets.
2.) Replace file ....\patches\data with the attached file.
3.) Build Alien::wxWidgets with
perl Build.PL
perl Build
perl Build test
perl Build install

When asked if you want to build wxWidgets, answer 'Yes' (THIS IS NOT THE
DEFAULT)

Go for coffee.

Then build wx- 0.67 again.

All should now be swimmingly fine.
This works for me, but I have to follow the basic instructions and get
Alien::wxWidgets to control the build process as I'm a linux novice.

If you don't want to build a version of wxWidgets just for wxPerl, then
I guess you'll have to figure out how to build STC properly.

Regards

Mark

[wxperl-users] Acticex::IE Finding element under mouse

[Peter T. <pe...@Pe...>]

I am displaying an IE window inside my Wx program.
I am trying to find out the HTML/DOM element under the mouse, either by moving the mouse over elements or by clicking.
I need some way for the user to identify an element visually and find out which element it is.

I have a hunch that I could somehow put the IE window into 'Edit mode' and capture mouseOver events (or something), but no idea how I might follow up on that hunch.
Or maybe I could force some javascript into the page that would catch mouseOver events, either all the time or modally, and write the element ID and NAME into the statusbar, then capture statusbar-changed events in ActiveX::IE...

Any help?
