[perl-win32-gui-users] RE: Tooltips

2002-02-19 Thread Chris Wearn

Hi All,

I tried a few more ways to get the tooltips working (just in case :-)

I agree that this would be an extremely useful feature. So who do we ask,
beg, bribe etc. Is  Win32-GUI still being actively delveloped, improved?

[perl-win32-gui-users] Fork() and BringWindowToTop()

2002-02-19 Thread Kevin . ADM-Gibbs

Hi All,

I'm trying to use fork() to create a parent and child process.  The parent
will deal with Win32::GUI events, tell the child which buttons etc have
been pressed, the child will carry out the actions and update the
appropriate controls on the window.  This way I can allow the main window
to continue reacting to some events (eg refresh, minimise or even quit)
while the processing is performed in the background by the child.

One of the child actions is to bring up a browseforfolder type dialog and
put the selected directories into a text field on the main window.  I can
get this to work fine, except that BringWindowToTop doesn't seem to work
after returning from the browse for folder dialog.  Instead my main window
disappears behind what ever window happens to be behind it.

Bringing up the browseforfolder dialog does require entering a
win32::gui::dialog loop and my guess is that this is what's causing the
problem.  If I alt-tab to the main window it continues to function
normally.

If I move the browseforfolder action into the parent everything works fine
but it would be neater to have all screen updating performed by the child
and it seems slightly odd to get the parent to report the selected
directories to the child so it can update the main window.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Kev.

2002-02-19 Thread Sean Healy

I did not realize this list was set up so that hitting 'Reply' replied only 
to the sender, not to the list (it's the only one of the lists that I'm 
subscribed to that is), so the last time I sent this, it went only to one 
person (sorry, whoever that was):


There is a really bug in RichEdit::GetCharFormat (and GetParaFormat is not 
not implemented at all).  The following two bits of code are found in the 
XS:


   if(dwMask & CFM_FACE) {
   EXTEND(SP, 2);
   XST_mPV(si++, "-name");
   XST_mPV(si++, cf.szFaceName);
   }

   if(dwMask & CFM_SIZE) {
   EXTEND(SP, 2);
   XST_mPV(si++, "-name");
   XST_mIV(si++, cf.yHeight);

So the height and name are both getting set to the '-name' key of the 
returned hash, and since height is last, we get that and lose the font name. 
 Since this is a two-second fix, I hope it will be fixed for the next 
release, now that I've brought attention to it.


I attempted to create my own GetParaFormat using SendMessage, but I have so 
far been unsuccessful.

Peter, 

what type of problems are you having exactly?   I developed a fully functional, 
complete application system of programs and menus at work with Win32::GUI 
(including Win32::ODBC) using advanced features of ListViews, ListBoxes, 
TextBoxes, Windows, DialogBoxes, etc. back in 1999. There may be some 
undocumented features I can help you with that I received from Aldo thru direct 
communication with him back then.  I'll try to help anyway.

Hello all Win32::GUI Users!

Yes, I would like the Tooltip Feature, too.

But, I think bug fixes are more interesting. I am working on a big
Win32::GUI app and stepped into some serious bugs. I spend more time looking
for Win32::GUI workarounds than for the app development. This isn't
productive any more.

2002-02-19 Thread Glenn Linderman

Eric,

Perhaps you could share those direct communications from Aldo with
people that maintain Win32::GUI FAQ lists these days?  Or the list at
large?  Perhaps some of it could get incorporated into the FAQ or into
some other documentation?

Like others, I'm starting to wonder if there is any active development
of Win32::GUI happening.

As I'm considering doing a fairly major Win32::GUI application soon, I'm
a bit nervous about the level of support that might be available, should
I run into a serious limitation.

Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Re: Tooltip Feature and Win32::GUI thoughts

2002-02-19 Thread Peter Köller

Hello Eric,

Problems:

1. Richedit doesn't work in conjunction with Win32::OLE. When my script was
small Richedit and Win32::OLE worked together. But my script became bigger
and the dialogs with Richedit didn't work anymore. I refactored my script
and it worked fine. But some lines code later it didn't work again. The
behaviour was unpredictable. I found out, that the problem was Win32::OLE.
But I found no solution and couldn't set up a little script that shows the
problem. So I replaced Richedit against a textfield with multiple lines. Not
very good.

2. Checkboxes with Listviews. I absolutely need a Listview with checkboxes.
But I didn't find out how to check it initially. I can read the state but
can't set the state.

3. Tabular keystroke for switching between widgets. It did work until I only
wanted one window shown in the taskbar. So I used -parent option and this
didn't work.

These are my greatest problems while developing my app. It is a little
workflow management system for ebay sellers. It is german, but the
marketplace specific code is external. Regardless there is no english user
interface or a marketplace module for ebay.com. I am thinking about L10N and
then will search for developers who can convert the marketplace module from
eBay.de to eBay.com. (http://sourceforge.net/projects/auctioneer/)

My second problem is my biggest these days. I want to use such a checked
Listview for displaying installed marketplace modules or auction fees. I
can't figure out how to set up a list with some checkboxes checked and
others not.

Other problems are for example that I use a speedbar and didn't find out how
to use transparent images for it. Another color setting on another system
and the app looks bad.

Then the bad window management. A message box could be send behind the app,
and so on ...

I really would appreciate tooltips, but is there active development in this
project?

Thanks for reading :-)
Peter,

Germany Ulm

[perl-win32-gui-users] ListView Checkboxes, ImageList, etc.

2002-02-19 Thread Eric Hansen

Peter, I don't think I can help you with any of your problems I'm sorry to say. 
I'm especially sorry not to be able to help you with initially setting 
checkboxes within a ListView.  Don't know how to do that.  Was not something my 
app needed to do, but I can see how it would be useful.   I can share a couple 
things I do know howver that might be of interest to you or someone else:

Peter, you already know that you can get the value of the checkbox state for a 
row in the ListView using

EXAMPLE
$row=15;
$checked=$LV->ItemCheck($row);   # checkbox state is 0 or 1.

This is documented.
But, what is not documented is how to get the value of other properties within 
the ListView such as -text and -image

EXAMPLE
$row=15;
%data = $LV->ItemInfo($row,0);
$image= $data{-image};   # image nbr in image list displayed at row 
15 
$column1text= $data{-text}; # text value in first column of row 15  
%data = $LV->ItemInfo($row,1);
$column2text= $data{-text}; # text value in 2nd column of row 15

You can change the value of a property associated with a row of the ListView by

EXAMPLE
$LV->ChangeItem(-item => $row,  -image => 1);# display 2nd image in image 
list

Here is a complete declaration of the ListView and its ImageList:

EXAMPLE
$B1 = new Win32::GUI::Bitmap("deselected.bmp");   # off light
$B2 = new Win32::GUI::Bitmap("selected.bmp");   # on light
$IL = new Win32::GUI::ImageList(16, 16, 0, 2, 10);
$IL->Add($B1, 0); #  image 0 or first image in list
$IL->Add($B2, 0); #  image 1 or 2nd image in list
$LV = $W->AddListView(
 -name => "ListView",
 -left => 12,
 -top => 70,
 -height => 260,
 -width  => 670, 
);
$LV->View(1);  # detailed listing, i.e. columns and rows
$LV->SetImageList($IL,1);
# enable gridline and checkboxes cabability 
# fullrowselect defined below, but not activated with SendMessage
$LVM_SETEXTENDEDLISTVIEWSTYLE = 0x1000 + 54;
$LVS_EX_GRIDLINES = 0x001;
$LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT = 0x020;
$LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES = 0x004;
$LV->SendMessage($LVM_SETEXTENDEDLISTVIEWSTYLE,  0,
  $LVS_EX_GRIDLINES | $LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES,
);


HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT ROW IN THE LISTVIEW HAS BEEN SELECTED BY THE USER???

EXAMPLE  

sub ListView_ItemClick {

$row = shift; 
}


Off the subject a little, here is a little trick that is useful to someone 
wanting to initially set focus on a text box and have the data highlighted in 
replace/overwrite mode. 

EXAMPLE
$DetailSearchTXT->SetFocus();
$DetailSearchTXT->Select(0,length($DetailSearchTXT->Text()));

2002-02-19 Thread Jeremy Blonde

Or you can simply use:

$DetailSearchTXT->SelectAll();

Which will also place the entry into replace/overwrite mode.
