On approximately 10/21/2004 11:18 AM, came the following characters from
the keyboard of Johan Lindstrom:
The mouse movement problem was related to the parameters to the mouse
movement and click event handlers. In earlier versions the first param
was kind of unused (or at least undocumented), and I guess it was
removed in this version.
I'll just branch on version <= 0.9 to get that to work, no biggie.
Hmm. I thought more parameters were added, rather than removed, as a
general rule, in Laurent's reworking of the code. But I didn't look at
the code for mouse movement and click handlers, so you probably have the
straight scoop.
Glad this one is straightforward to fix, anyway.

The global destruction issue, well, good luck tracking that one down:)
When the Loft user closes the test/preview window, do you do anything
special?
Currently I don't do anything. I guess something happened to the default
action of the Window _Terminate event.
I can work around this, so that in itself doesn't break TGL sufficiently
to not release 1.0. But the problem is still there. What happens is this:
The main window disappears for no reason (perhaps _Terminate returns -1
and exits the event loop) and this is spewed:
Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at
C:/appl/dev/mod_perl/Perl/site
/lib/Win32/GUI.pm line 2712 during global destruction.
That in the the Win32::GUI::DC DESTROY. The $self at that point is an
empty hash ref object.
With a little print statements in new and DESTROY, I can see that DC
objects are created and destroyed a LOT for some reason. Maybe something
is painted.
I don't have time to debug more right now, but I'll check it out.
Sounds strange. And does this new/DESTROY happen frequently only after
the main window disappears, or all through the execution of the code?
And I don't know if DC's are subject to the cascading destruction of
their parent window?
I suppose I should release a version of TGL that works with both
Win32::GUI pre and post 0.9 before we unleash 1.0 on the public. I'm
away tomorrow and Saturday, but maybe on Sunday.
I agree this would be an appropriate path. Although I haven't used TGL,
I think it is a significant application for Win32::GUI, and I wouldn't
want to break it with a new release of Win32::GUI, even if it means a
little delay.
