I'm in the process of designing my program so I apologize for not having any code. I want to setup a list view and then have it so that when you move the mouse over a specific item/or if need be click a specific item a pop-up bubble appears with some text. Like the ones you see on the taskbar

Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] multiline textfields in a dialogui windowunder XP?

Under Windows 2000, which I was using until last week, it worked fine; hitting Enter in the textfield moved to the next line. This week, the machines in my office got upgraded to XP, and now hitting Enter in the textfield does absolutely nothing. I can get to a new line by hitting CTRL-Enter,

Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Sourceforge Mail list search broken?

(By the way, I was looking for ways of using the GD image library functions with bitmaps/DIbitmaps... anyone got any pointers?) It's quite straightforward to use GD with Win32-GUI - although it's worth pointing out that Win32-GUI's drawing primitives are more powerful, and if used correctly,

Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] CVS Source 1.03_03 compile error

To get it working I simply deleted the ->SetDefCellType( GVIT_NUMERIC ); option. However is there a workaround or another way to implement these options? It's defined in Grid.xs as: #define GVIT_NUMERIC 1 This should work: Win32::GUI::Grid::GVIT_NUMERIC() Cheers, jez.

Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win32::GUI::Scintilla V1.08

Will the new version of Win32::GUI::Scintilla be based on the latest version of Scintilla? I have seen that now Scintilla is very accessible for screen readers, but the older version which is used on the actual version of Win32::GUI::Scintilla is not accessible at all. The V1.08 build is based

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Internal Dragging

Has anyone implemented TreeViews or Listboxes with internal dragging, i.e., to move nodes/items within the control? The mouse events are (or at least should be) trivial, but the drag image is another matter. A simple line indicating the new position of the item/node would be sufficient. The

Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win32::GUI::Scintilla

Ok, thanks. I can try to compile it even though I am not a C programmer. Can you please tell me where can I download the source code from? http://sourceforge.net/projects/perl-win32-gui Cheers, jez.

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win32::GUI::Scintilla

Sorry for my previous message because it was sent from a non-subscribed email address, and only the admin probably received it. Here it is again: I am using Perl 5.8.8 and I have installed Win::GUI::Scintilla using ppm: Version: 1.7 Author: ROCHER Laurent ( [EMAIL PROTECTED]) I am using Perl

can anyone tell me what the easiest way to have an application display a jpeg image file? Iam thinking of using Axwindows but I don't even know what activeX to use and I really dont want to use IE I don't know enough about what activeX controls could do this, but it would be one solution. An

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Two quick questions

First - Windows. How do I "close" a window? I dont mean hide or minimise, but actually close it and deallocate all the resources for it? If I click on the corner "x", my routine gets called before it closes, and the system terminates the window, but how do I get my program to actually terminate

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Unsetting an event

I'm working on a GUI interface to create skins for my skin module. I'd like to be able to set an event (using SetEvent('MouseDown', \&handle)), and when I'd done with that event, reset the event to it's prior behavior. Is there a way to do this? I've looked on MSDN, and the closest that I can

Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Adding controls to tab strip items.

I've played around with TheGUILoft and was impressed with what it does for the most part. My biggest problem is that it doesn't export win32-gui code. I'd like the option of beging able to do both. The script below converts a .gld file into perl code. The script itself is a bit of a hack...:)

Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Default Colors

Thanks for the feedback, This is a nice broad way to change the colors at the system level. What I am looking for is a Win32 library variable I can set to change the theme for just my application. That way I can set global color settings for my whole application without having to assing color

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] The skin module

The reason I'm asking is that I'd like to proceed making the module Win32::GUI::Skin. I'd also like to start adding more controls. I don't want to do this until I know that the basic module is looking good. I had a quick look and it seems fine - although I didn't have time to do a proper lo

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] sharing objects

Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Using Threads with Win::32 and Net::IRC

Since both threads will be accessing the same database, would I need to connect and then close the database handle every time I query it or can the handle be left open? add as far as accessing the database, I Most databases can handle concurrent connections, so you should be able to leave each

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Window's Explorer over VPN

I've looked at several Window's Explorer replacements to see if they might be faster, but they really aren't and I suspect that much of that is due to them using the same underlying Windows OS functions as Explorer does. I can CD and DIR with blazzing speed at a DOS prompt, but the GUI's are too s

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] DOS Window minimized?

I know you can test if a Win32::GUI window has been minimized, but can you run a sub if a DOS window has been minimized? Yes. If you want to "remove" the DOS window during development of a script, you can run it via the command wperl rather than with the command perl. Cheers, jez.

How do you search the mailing list? That little info could prove VERY useful. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=3220 Cheers, jez.

Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] window freezes when connecting to IRC

yes, you are right, Net::IRC is blocking, even though the documentation says that do_one_loop allows it to work with other event based loops like Tk. Considering I'm a newbie, I have no idea where to begin using threads or processes. My program will need to share data with the IRC thread, so I

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] window freezes when connecting to IRC

I have been trying to create a GUI for my IRC bot, but no matter what I try, the GUI freezes once it connects. I know that the GUI has a loop and that NET::IRC has it's own loop; therefore I have used NET::IRC's do_one_loop and WIN32::GUI's DoEvents. I've even tried lagging the irc loop to get

Please tell me what is the correct way of running another .exe program under Windows from a program made using Win32::GUI. For example I want to be able to press a button which opens a separate program, but I don't want to maintain any relation between those 2 programs. (Just like when the seco
