Hello! I use the fresh 1.05 version, but previously I've got the same problem.
I have the notepad.pl Win32::GUI example. When I compile it with the command "perl notepad.pl" the field's border is THREE-DIMENSIONAL. However, if I use Activestate's perl to exe program to change notepad.pl into notepad.exe then I gat FLAT - TWO DIMENSIONAL field. I lost a lot of time trying to figure out how it works...but I didn't succeed. (I have used these all WS_... constants.) How to force Win32::GUI script (what options should I use there) it show the nice TWO-DIMENSIONAL edit fields? Waldemar
