[perl-win32-gui-users] Tabstrip
Hi, I am having a problem with tabstrips. When selecting the tabs by mouse the fields hide and show as expected but if I use the left and right arrow keys the tabs move but the fields don't change (i.e. it still shows page 1). Is this something I am doing wrong? I note that the example supplied does the same. Any help at all would be appreciated.
[perl-win32-gui-users] Button MouseOver?
Is there a MouseOver function for Buttons? I didn't see anything in the docs. What I'd like to do is display a help message in the StatusBar when the cursor is over a button.

When you create a Button-class you'll get the MouseMove event. Other than a
real MouseOver, this fires every time the mouse moves. It would take some
fantasy to come up with MouseEnter and MouseLeave. One way would be to do
$Main->Belly->ChangeCursor ($something); and then have a timer function look
up Win32::GUI::GetCursor() to see if the mouse has left. Not exactly
elegant.
Maybe you just don't care and have your status bar display the help line
until the user mouseovers another button - why not.
new Win32::GUI::Class
(
-name => '_Button',
-widget => 'Button',
-extends => 'Button',
);
$Main->AddButton
(
-name => 'Belly',
-text => 'Clickme',
-class => '_Button',
);
sub Belly_MouseMove
{
local ($button, $xpos, ypos) = @_;
# print join (', ', @_), "\n";
}
[perl-win32-gui-users] newbie's question
Hi, I'd like to write some GUI-based perl app on Win32 platform. Which one is easier/simpler to use: Tk or Win32::GUI? The latter sounds pretty intriguing to me. Can I find any sample Win32::GUI apps on the Web? Thanks, Jerry
Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Textfield on top of a Listview
I would recommend checking for a double-click event and then showing a new window with the textfield and the corresponding data from the listview and allowing the user to make the change that way. Jonathan At 5/16/2001 11:30 PM, you wrote: I'm trying to do this: A Listview with two columns (Property, Value). When the user clicks on an Item in the list, the Value column becomes editable. I looked at the EditLabel thing, but that edited the first column only, and that didn't work properly anyway with the edit-box losing focus right away. So, I was thinking of placing a Textfield on top of the Listview and Showing it when the user clicks on an Item. Two problems: a) How do I get rid of the border around the Textfield? b) It seems like as soon as i SetFocus to the Textfield, the Listview takes it back. So I do a lot of kludgy stuff to bring the focus back to the textfield. As a nice side-effect, this actually redraws the Listview so the border doesn't show :) But all this seems fragile and is obviously not the right way. Any ideas? /J PS. As I write this I realize that the first focus thing with the EditLabel seems related to the other focus thing I describe. -- Johan Lindström, Sourcerer, Boss Casinos Ltd, Antigua [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Perl-Win32-GUI-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-GUI-Users@lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/perl-win32-gui-users Jonathan Southwick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Technical & Network Services Allegheny College, Meadville, PA 16335 (814) 332-2755
RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] newbie's question
I asked the same thing not long ago. The general concensus was that Tk might be a better choice because it is cross-platform. Then I ran into a ton of problems installing Tk, so I just went with Win32::GUI becuase I *could* get that to install and I haven't looked back... A bunch of samples come with the download of the module. Pull it down from Aldo's site, though, not Activestate's -- they have done some wierd renumbering of his versions and, from what I hear, makes updates a bit of a pain.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I went to remove the one I installed from ActiveState, and reinstall from the inventor: C:> ppm install --location=http://dada.perl.it/PPM Win32::GUI Installing package 'Win32-GUI'...
