I had the time recently to play a little with Mike Kangas
GridLayout.pm, and I've made some ehnancements (well, I
hope you'll consider them so ;-).
basically, I've added an alternative constructor (wrt new),
called apply(), which "binds" the layout to an existing window,
addressing Mike's problem with window size <-> client size.
you can then add() controls to the layout, so you don't need
to bother with -left and -top.
finally, you call recalc() and everything goes into place!
you can even put recalc() in the window's Resize event,
so that the grid layout follows dinamically the window
resizing.
and that's all, more or less. I've changed the name of the
module to Win32::GUI::GridLayout (we can't pollute ;-), added
a version number and written some (unfinished) pod.
if Mike agrees, I would like to ship the module with the
Win32::GUI package, even if it still remains a separate
"support" package (eg. you need to explicitly use
Win32::GUI::GridLayout).
let me know what do you think and feel free to make any
change you like; I really appreciate your contribution to
Win32::GUI :-)
cheers,
