RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Combobox
That actually did it! Thanks.I have so much time spent on this application that converting it to use GUILoft would not be an easy option. I am however, using GUILoft for all new projects. By autofill, I mean that if I have five lines in the Combo which start with "i", if I put focus on the combobox and press "i", the combobox populates the first entry which starts with "i". If I press "i" again, it populates the second entry with "i". If, for example I am on the last entry which starts with "i", and press it again, it populates the first entry again. Anyway, Thanks for the help!

In The GUI Loft, that is analogue to setting the Type property to "drop combo". But from your description of how The Gui Loft version works, the Type property is set to "drop list". The Win32::GUI code would look like this: -addstyle => 0x0003,#CBS_DROPDOWNLIST The third type of Combobox is Type: "simple combo", or -addstyle => 0x0001,#CBS_SIMPLE If anyone is interested, how each type of control in The GUI Loft is created can be viewed in the files in .../PPM/Loft/lib/Win32/GUI/Loft/Control/ in the source distribution: http://www.bahnhof.se/~johanl/perl/Loft/ In some situations it may be helpful just to be able to see the relevant constants and stuff, even if you don't put any effort into understanding the rest of the code. /J -- --- -- -- -- - - --- Johan LindströmBoss Casinos Sourcerer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bahnhof.se/~johanl/ If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything tends to look like a nail ___ Perl-Win32-GUI-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-GUI-Users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/perl-win32-gui-users

Actually, since all The GUI Loft does is _building_ the window for you, replacing existing window-creating code with The GUI Loft Designs is really straightforward: Create a Design with exactly the same controls and control names, comment out the existing code and replace it with the window-building code for the .gld file. Voila, you're done. Everything else that has to do with Win32::GUI remains the same (except that you don't have to do resizing and TabStrips manually unless you want to). I did that with The GUI Loft application itself and it worked out just fine. If it's worth the effort when you already have a working solution is another matter :) I can imagine that TGL Designs are more maintainable and easy to change/redesign than a bunch of $window->AddControl() statements. /J -- --- -- -- -- - - --- Johan LindströmBoss Casinos Sourcerer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bahnhof.se/~johanl/ If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything tends to look like a nail
[perl-win32-gui-users] Absolute newbie Q
I tried the "Hello, world" script from the Win32::GUI tutorial part 1.
(This is with yeterday's Active State build and Win32::GUI 0.558
installed by ppm on Win98SE). I get the following Windows error:
PERL caused an invalid page fault in
Module MSVCRT.DLL at 0167:78003b44.
Registers:
EAX=01824f5c CS=0167 EIP=78003b44 EFLGS=00010246
(etc.)
This is the script (hello.pl)
use Win32::GUI;
$main = Win32::GUI::Window->new(
-name => 'Main',
-width => 100,
-height => 100,
);
$main->AddLabel(-text => "Hello, World");
$main->Show();
Win32::GUI::Dialog();
sub Main_Terminate {
-1;
}
I assume I missed some absolute first step in the process...
I scanned the listserv archive and didn't see anyone else
disqualified so early in the game :-)

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Absolute newbie Q
Frank, one thing to remember that is not in the current versions of some
docs and some samples programs. "ALL controls MUST have a -name
attribute" and this must be unique in the program (NOT just the window).
Hopefully, the next version to come out will correct these samples.
Try this:
use Win32::GUI;
$main = Win32::GUI::Window->new(
-name => 'Main',
-width => 100,
-height => 100,
);
$main->AddLabel(-text => "Hello, World", -name => 'lblLabel');#
all I added was the -name attribute.
$main->Show();
Win32::GUI::Dialog();
sub Main_Terminate {
-1;
}
Enjoy! One thing, after you have played with the base Win32::GUI for a
while, you should probably try Johan's excelent GuiLoft Designer. He
has put in properties which are poorly documented, if at all.
Also, MANY of the samples are currently broke because of missing names
and additionally, I believe they start you in a bad coding habit.
Example:
my $lbl1 = $main->AddLabel(-text => "Hello, World", -name =>
'lblLabel');
$lbl1->Text('Hello Master!'); # this set sets the text for the above
label to 'Hello Master!'
I would prefer this written as:
$main->lblLabel->Text('Hello Master!');
Now, while both will work, the first just pollutes your namespace
needlessly with variables that you dont need because you can access the
controls using the name instead.
This is all just my opinion and I could be wrong about anything I said.

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Absolute newbie Q
I ran the script on my system , and it worked fine: however, from all I've
seen in this group, the problem is most likely that you didn't include a
name on your label. That causes a lot of crashes: make a habit of -name'ing
everything (even if its -name=>'label001'). Try replacing:
$main->AddLabel(-text => "Hello, World");
with
$main->AddLabel(-name => 'label001', -text => "Hello, World");
and try again.
Hope this helps,
-Mike
