Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] accelerator keys - now working
4) There needs to be some coordination with Aldo, perhaps, and he hasn't responded publicly or privately to any of the email I've sent him regarding bugs over the last couple years. Or is the community ready to proceed without Aldo? Did you or anyone get a reply from Aldo about the latest round of emails? Perhaps we should try and move forward somehow. I've just looked through the mailing list and there are several other bug fixes that should be applied to any new build. Then there is the documentation project headed up by Erick Bourgeois (http://jeb.ca/perl/win32-gui-docs/index.pl/home). We just need to get some momentum going... Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions?

[perl-win32-gui-users] Change menu text
Is it possible to change the text on a menu? I want to change a menu item from "Refresh workgroups" to "Refresh clients" depending on what view they are currently at. I am already keeping track of the view I just need to change the menu text. Jonathan Southwick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Technical & Network Services Allegheny College Meadville, PA 16335 (814) 332-2755

Perhaps we should try and move forward somehow. I've just looked through the mailing list and there are several other bug fixes that should be applied to any new build. In the short term, 1) I'd be glad to contribute my fixes to anyone that cares, that would be willing to CVS-ize them, and make them generally available. 2) I'd be willing to make available my binary distribution to anyone that wants my fixes (I've called it 0.0.668, since there were 3 fixes applied to 0.0.665), but I'm working on 0.0.669, adding more keys to the legal set of accelerator keys... all keys are legal accelerator keys to Windows, and only a subset were implemented in Win32::GUI. 3) I'd be willing to incorporate patches into my version, if someone identifies them, and sends me the patches, they aren't too cumbersome to apply, and make the merged binary distribution available. Then there is the documentation project headed up by Erick Bourgeois (http://jeb.ca/perl/win32-gui-docs/index.pl/home). We just need to get some momentum going... Accelerator keys could use more documentation now that I have them working. Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions? I'm sure everyone has their own hot buttons. I've mostly fixed my known ones, but as I proceed with my current project, I may run into other limitations or bugs. Probably it would be good to produce an error if the -name operand is omitted. And update the documentation to mention that it is required. What is the difference between Aldo, and Waldo ??? Where's Waldo?

$m_config->{'sGetDataDir'}->Change( -text =>

Your menu object will be different than mine ($m_config), and your menu
item will be different than mine (sGetDataDir), and the text you want to
display will be different than mine ("\x26reset data directory
($datadir)", but this should give you the idea.

Glenn, since you have fixed the bugs and are most familar (perhaps) with the code at this point, could you do the editing? Do you mind creating an account with my documentation content manager? This way I could set your priviledge to "Content Manager" and you could make all the changes you want to accelerator keys. -- Erick

I've just looked through the mailing list and there are several other bug fixes that should be applied to any new build. In the short term, 1) I'd be glad to contribute my fixes to anyone that cares, that would be willing to CVS-ize them, and make them generally available. I would be more than willing to bring the files together and serve them up on jeb.ca Not sure whether this includes CVS-ing them? I'm guessing that it doesn't, but would do the other half, of making them generally available. 2) I'd be willing to make available my binary distribution to anyone that wants my fixes (I've called it 0.0.668, since there were 3 fixes applied to 0.0.665), but I'm working on 0.0.669, adding more keys to the legal set of accelerator keys... all keys are legal accelerator keys to Windows, and only a subset were implemented in Win32::GUI. So would you put the .ppd and .tar.gz files up to, in a manner that PPM could use? 3) I'd be willing to incorporate patches into my version, if someone identifies them, and sends me the patches, they aren't too cumbersome to apply, and make the merged binary distribution available.

Do you mind creating an account with my documentation content manager? This way I could set your priviledge to "Content Manager" and you could make all the changes you want to accelerator keys. I created the account and sent you a private note about that. It depends on how hard it is to learn your process for updating information. I'm trying to stay heads down on a project to get it done... but for sure after that I'd be willing to update. -- Glenn -- http://nevcal.com/ === Like almost everyone, I receive a lot of spam every day, much of it offering to help me get out of debt or get rich quick.

Seems like it would be a reasonable tradeoff. WalMart earnings are 3.4% of revenue.
