Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Launching a detached child process fromWin32 app
I've reply'd by e-mail since this isn't a win32::gui problem. I think this is what he wants: #!/usr/bin/perl system 'rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler notepad.exe'; print foreach (1..10); __END__ While notepad is running, the main program still counts to 10 and exits nicely. Quoting Scott Spearman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I don't know if it's in Win32 or ActiveStates Perl, but the traditional Unix method is to do an exec(). It takes a new executable and completely replaces your running program with the new program specified. I figure it's probably something you've already tried, but just in case...

A nice feature I see of some install shields is the option to "Launch application" after the install is done. It's a nice convinient feature to let the user get down to business without having to click on the app via the start menu or desktop icon. The problem is that I have yet to find a method for executing a program from a Win32 that doesn't wait for the child to die. I have tried various fork methods as well as Proc methods and Win32::Job and threads. All of these methods require that the parent, or calling program wait until the spawn's program dies. I of course just want to launch the install app and let the user exit the install shield. This has to be doable right? Thank you. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Quoting Geoffrey Spear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > The docs at http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/htdocs/PAR-Packer/pp.html mention the -a option to add files to the package. -i sets the app's icon, but I'm trying to add an icon to use within my program (as a NotifyIcon). Oddly enough, while the --help option to the version of For that we have the http://search.cpan.org/dist/Win32-GUI/BitmapInline.pm pp I've got doesn't mention the -a option either, if I use the Add Packages box in tkpp to try to add my icon to the package, it throws a warning about -m being deprecated for adding non-module files to packages, and tells me to use -a instead. I think it's a case of the documentation with the binary not being up to date. I thought *YOU* made the typo :D Sorry for the lack of trust. ;)
[perl-win32-gui-users] Dynamically changing foreground and other options
Hello, I've been trying to dynamically change the -foreground value for a textfield. The following didnt work: $TextField->Change( -foreground => [ 255, 0, 0 ] ); $TextField->InvalidateRect(1); Nor did assigning different font objects. And from the info I've gathered on the net, sending a message will only work with RichEdit controls. Also, I havent found any way to Disable / Enable menu items. Thanks! PS: Does anyone knows if a stable version of Win32::GUI is comming anytime soon ? The SourceForge project page seems pretty dead. _ MSN Messenger : discutez en direct avec vos amis ! http://messenger.fr.msn.ca/
Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Checking for memory leaks?
There is Win32::SystemInfo where you can track memory. But that only works if you don't have a leak but a sinking ship :). From the POD: MemoryStatus Win32::SystemInfo::MemoryStatus(%mHash,[$format]); %mHash - The hash that will receive the results. Certain values can be set prior to the call to retrieve a subset. (See below) $format - Optional parameter. Used to set the order of magnitude of the results. (See below) Determines the current memory status of a Win32 machine. Populates %mHash with the results. Function returns undef on failure. Values returned through the hash: MemLoad - Windows NT 3.1 to 4.0: The percentage of approximately the last 1000 pages of physical memory that is in use. - Windows 2000: The approximate percentage of total physical memory that is in use. TotalPhys - Total amount of physical memory (RAM). AvailPhys - Available physical memory (RAM). TotalPage - Allocated size of page (swap) file. AvailPage - Available page file memory. TotalVirtual- Total physical + maximum page file. AvailVirtual - Total amount of available memory. Values returned through the hash can also be specified by setting them before the function is called. my %mHash = (TotalPhys => 0); Win32::MemoryInfo::MemoryStatus(%mHash); Will return only the total physical memory. MemoryStatus return values in bytes by default. This can be changed with the $format parameter. Valid values for $format are: B- Bytes (default) KB - Kilobytes MB - Megabytes GB - Gigabytes Citeren Steve Loughran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi all > > Not strictly a win32-gui related question.

Sounds logical. I assume (don't know though) that you could also put the directory of the icon in PATH or name the exact path while packing. That's typical for Windows. Same goes for running the package. When the directory of the package isn't current directory the package will only run when it is in the path.
