Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] accelerator keys - now working
I would be more than willing to bring the files together and serve them up on jeb.ca Erick, are you able to generate flat html files which could be included automatically in new builds? 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. There were a couple of fixes for the splitter control that were mentioned a while back, I'll see if I can dig them out. I've also got a small extension to the datetime control that could go in to. 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. I've got some time available to help with documentation, and write a few examples. My back end skills are a bit limited unfortunately. Cheers, jez. _ Hotmail messages direct to your mobile phone http://www.msn.co.uk/msnmobile

Thanks, that worked. One question though, just because I am curious:
What does the 'x26' do?

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.

I'm waiting for new Win32-GUI Aldo's release. But it's possible to fix some bug/miss on current release. So I assume, Aldo agree for use sourceforge CVS to do this. I think it's probably good to : 1) Tag current CVS source as 0.0.558 2) Commit and tag 0.0.665 sources 3) Commit new change over 0.0.665 source code (in a specific branch ?) I'm not a CVS expert so i need to study how to do this. If i can do step 1 and 2. I can merge and apply your (and others) change to CVS.

I have made some change in 0.0.665 source code for build it for Perl ActiveState with free MinGW compiler. I think it's usefull for people want to build/contribute to Win32::GUI source code without need of Visual C++. Laurent.
Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] accelerator keys - now working
On approximately 11/14/2003 12:53 AM, came the following characters from the keyboard of Jeremy White: I would be more than willing to bring the files together and serve them up on jeb.ca Erick, are you able to generate flat html files which could be included automatically in new builds? Speaking of flat HTML files, I know that there are a bunch of HTML files that are included with the source distribution that are not included with the binary distribution. Laurent's instructions for making the binary distribution, which worked great overall (Thanks Laurent), include making a few pod2html files and including them in the distribution. I noticed that running pod2html on gui.pm produces an error (no title for GUI.pm) and that the corresponding GUI.html file is rather limited. I've mostly ignored POD in my Perl coding, so I don't have a clue what should be done to fix that... but maybe it isn't necessary since under docs/html there is a GUI.html which is the top logical layer of all the other HTML files in the distribution... so if those other HTML files could be included in the binary distribution in such a way that they appear as part of the ActivePerl documentation tree, that would be a much better solution, perhaps, than fixing the POD in GUI.pm From the way Laurent packaged the other two HTML files in his distribution, it would seem that it is just a matter of copying them to the appropriate subtree under blib\html\lib\Win32 It appears that is set up to allow for one HTML file for each package? Yet GUI.pm hyperlinks to other HTML files... some of which are for subpackages, and some of which are not. How does one handle the ones that are not? If we get more documentation into the distribution, then perhaps Erick could organize his site a little differently, to automatically include the distributed documentation (which it appears a lot of the documentation there is from the source distribution, but then there is more... at least the FAQ and code samples, I haven't compared all he other stuff against what is in the source distribution.) Maybe including documantation for several different releases? Maybe including a list of differences between different releases? I've lost track of the list of differences between 0.0.558 and 0.0.665, for example. I know the (incomplete) NEM was introduced, but what else? 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. There were a couple of fixes for the splitter control that were mentioned a while back, I'll see if I can dig them out. I've also got a small extension to the datetime control that could go in to.

Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Change menu text
The \x26 is a hex escape for & which Windows uses to alert users to the
menu selection key.
Why I used \x26 instead of just saying & in that particular example text
string probably exceeds the bounds of your curiosity it has to do
with other tools I use that scan the source code looking for &, and
which aren't really smart enough at parsing Perl to figure out if an &
is in a comment or a string or whatever.

Your menu object will be different than mine ($m_config), and your

Jeremy, I seems redundant to create HTML files for the distro and have online ones. I was under the impression that creating this documentation project, we would be seperating the 2 and thus certain people could concentrate on that which they want to contribute. My site actually contains not one single HTML file, it is all stored in a DB, therefore creating the "flat" HTML files would require a little more work. If people really want HTML with the src/binary, then I can arrange something that will suck out all the docs on my site to flat files that could be added to a top level directory in the src/binary package, for example, "docs". Note: I added a "Print this page" image to the top right of the pages. Clicking this image will open up that page minus all the extra stuff, like my logo, the main nav and the crumb trail. These "printable" pages are almost identical to the current documentation Aldo bundles in the src. -- Erick
