On approximately 12/10/2003 2:28 PM, came the following characters from
the keyboard of Laurent ROCHER:
Hi,

I commit DoEvents and some little change :
    - GUI.pm : Add AddDatetime, AddGraphics methods
    - GUI.xs : Fix DoEvents double event, add some DateTime methods
(GetTime, SetTime, SetNone, IsNone).
    - GUI_Options.cpp : Add option parsing for DateTime control
(-align, -format, -shownone, -updown)
    - Typemap : LPARAM handle as string or integer.


I still had a test case, and this DOES solve the keyboard entry jitter
problem.  Laurent, if this also cures Steve's mouse down problem, I
think it is time to make an official distribution.  We've fixed a number
of significant bugs and missing features, of which this is the most
significant.  So we should make it possible for people to use these
fixes easily, and put out a new version of Win32::GUI.

I guess the biggest issue is what version number to give it, but Aldo
said his next version would be 1.xxx, so any old 0.0.VVV  for VVV > 665
would work to allow people to upgrade.


    Yes, it's probably time for a new release.
    I think 0.0.670 sound good.

    I can build PPM for 56 and 58.
    But, i have trouble for build for 5.005, link fail.
    I have message like this for all obj file.

GUI_Constants.obj : error LNK2005: "class CPerlObj *  pPerl"
(?pPerl@@3PAVCPerlObj@@A) already defined in GUI.obj
GUI_Constants.obj : error LNK2005: "class XSLockManager  g_XSLock"
(?g_XSLock@@3VXSLockManager@@A) already defined in GUI.obj

    I had this in gui.h before perl.h and change some CPerl declaration.
#if defined(PERL_OBJECT)
#define NO_XSLOCKS
#endif
    Don't know exactly if it's good.
    It's seem to work but i need do more test.

Laurent.

Did Win32::GUI ever work on 5.005 ? I certainly wouldn't worry too much about supporting such an old release at this point. 5.6 and 5.8 seem sufficient to me. But if you can figure out, without delaying things too much, more power to you.

Like almost everyone, I receive a lot of spam every day, much of it
offering to help me get out of debt or get rich quick.  It's ridiculous.

And here is why it is ridiculous:
The division that includes Windows posted an operating profit of $2.26 billion on revenue of $2.81 billion. --from Reuters via http://biz.yahoo.com/rc/031113/tech_microsoft_msn_1.html

So that's profit of over 400% of investment... with a bit more investment in Windows technology, particularly in the area of reliability, the profit percentage might go down, but so might the bugs and security problems? Seems like it would be a reasonable tradeoff. WalMart earnings are 3.4% of investment.
