[perl-win32-gui-users] ToolTips example?

Does anyone have an example of tooltips being used wth a toolbar (not a notify Icon)? even an example of a valid tooltips constructor would be great... the documentation is almost blank on the subject. Cheers! Mark

Hiya all, I'm having trouble getting a multiline text field to display multiple lines when setting the text with the -text option. If my string contains any of the following: \n \r\n (as indicated in the documentation) \n\r I just get black boxes instead of newlines. Has anyone got this figur

SOLVED!! Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] This code runs on W2000, but not W98...???

2001-12-22 Thread Mark Wilkinson
The solution, apparently, is that the reference to the Menu object must be passed back to the main script; apparently the menu-ref is NOT encapsulated inside of the Window object that contains it... which is counter-intuitive, and unlike any other perl module I have ever seen... --

Hi group! I'm stumped. I have a bit of code that I designed on my W2000 machine. Perfect. But when I moved it to my Win98 machine it didn't work. I have narrowed it down to the Win32GUI part, and attach the trimmed-down relevant (simple) sections of code to this message. The script and module

Hi Group, This is a weird one! I have an app that runs just perfectly on both of my machines (98/2000). I sent it to my client the other day and when he starts it up all menu buttons are greyed out and inoperative right from the start... so he can't do anything. I have never seen anything like

Hi group! I know this is only tangentally Win32GUI related, but I suspect it comes up more often among GUI users than any other Perl group, so here goes: I want my Win32::GUI (or any Perl app for that matter) to respond more like a native Windows program, and allow me to drop files from explorer

Hi Faraz, This list is really not the forum for Tk-related questions. The Win32 GUI list is for users of the module Win32::GUI (a native Windows GUI, rather than a Tk GUI). You should look at the newsgroup comp.lang.perl.tk and direct your questions there. http://www.faqs.org/faqs/by-newsgroup/

Hi group, I have never tried, but I am pondering the possibilities of having Win32GUI and PerlTK run simultaneously. The problem, of course, is in the event looping - both need to have their event loops executed, and yet the call to execute the event loop is "blocking" as far as I can tell. Has

this is wonderful! Y'know... given that Win32::GUI is on Source-forge, these kinds of bug-fixes and upgrades really should be committed directly into the distributed code, rather than (or as well as) sent out to the group. I see a lot of interesting ideas and bits and pieces of documentation etc.
