Hi all,
I'm running Perl 5.10 on Windows XP.
I'm writing a program that must decrypt some data using Microsoft's
CryptUnprotectData() function. If I use Luigino Masarati's
Win32::CryptData module

I'm working on a program that, when launched, displays an icon (a

Hi Kieron,
To find out what has been selected, use the GetCurSel() method to get the
index number of the currently selected item, then use the GetString() method
to get the text of the item at that index:

{
my $num = $y->GetCurSel;
my $text = $y->GetString($num);

I'm still not sure where these message numbers are actually defined):

Am I susceptible to a crash if I create a Win32::GUI object (such as a

Following is an example of what I mean. Notice that I'm passing the label

I'm curious: how do you prevent your window from looking like it's frozen

Does anyone know how to use the -fill and -frame options with the AddLabel()

Is Win32::GUI() capable of creating a marquee-style progress bar for

I don't understand *why* that fixed the problem, but
it did. I couldn't get any windows to close until I did that-now I can close
any window (that allows it) by finding its handle and sending it the
WM_CLOSE message.
