[perl-win32-gui-users] RE: communication between GUI scripts

[Straub, Peter (Peter)]

Hi,

Kevin and Scott thank you very much for your replies.
It seems to be very hard to combine the IPC stuff with
the GUI event model, at least with regard to the means
Win32::GUI offers.
Receiving user defined events seems to be the main
problem because there is no suitable access to the
main event loop that I am aware of.
And I can't think of a sensible way to call PeekMessage
in a second application (except from scattering calls
all over the code).

The solution I am going to use is a very ugly one:
In both applications I set up a timer to trigger a
timer event. This event is used to check for incoming
messages in a file.

Cheers,
Peter

[perl-win32-gui-users] RE: textfield prompt color

[Rogers, John]

Scott,

It dosnt seem like anyone has answered you yet, so here goes,

1) define Textfield, or label colour.
-foreground =>[ 0, 0, 255] ,
-background =>[0,255,0],

0 to 255 red,green,blue

2) you can get the handle with  -handle eg
$handle=$winMain->lblname()->{-handle});

 textfield prompt color

 How would I set the background color for a textfield prompt label or in a
 checkbox label? I can see how I might be able to set it if I could get the
 handle for that label, but I can't figure out how I would do that either.
 Is there a way to get the handle for a control that you have a name for but
 that you don't have a reference for?
