The scrollbar, with another control(usually a textfield), is used as a "Buddy" control. Together, they make the "Stepper" control. It's kind-of handy in the interface. Regards, -Stuart -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Johan Lindstrom Sent:

[perl-win32-gui-users] modal windows

2003-06-17 Thread Aldo Calpini
to my absolute dismay, I've just discovered that "true" modal windows are perfectly doable in Win32::GUI. I banged my head for more than one week fighting with dialog templates and crappy hacks... what a fool. the following code implements a regular modal window, with all the features. the trick

I personally would prefer an online version in addition to the computer installed docs. Especially if there were a way to download the entire doc in addition to reading online. This would facilitate rapid updates of "example code" in case an example is proven to be faulty or as new ways to use

i think a wiki would be great. there seems to be a fountain of useful information flowing constantly on this list. i know it has helped me immensely since i've been using win32::gui. however, there's something decidedly awkward about searching the users list archives on sourceforge. it would be

i did some playing with modal windows with more than one window open prior to the modal. it seems you can pretty easily implement this (sans weirdness) just by keeping track of open windows and looping through them all to disable them during the OpenModal call. the only other issue seems to be ke
