Hummm replying to my own post:)
windows it manipulates. Is it possible to attach to a window/control
created by some other application? Say I have a handle of a main window of
Windows calculator. How do I turn it into Win::GUI object?
Interesting question. As a quick/dirty answer, yes it could be possible.
The basic problem is that when Win::GUI object's are destroyed the
underlying window handle is also "destroyed".This could be solved by having
some sort of flag to say if Win::GUI actually owns the object or not.
Ok - the above is true when we're using objects via method calls but most of
the internals can also be called as functions. For example:
$win->Show(); #shows the window
but we could also call it this way:
Win32::GUI::Show($win);
Where $win is a Win32::GUI object OR the handle...So, if you've got a handle
for some other app, then it should just work...
Hope that makes some sense.
