David, this is a fantastic tool. It makes stuffing a few controls on a window really fun. I would like to contribute a little helper to this very useful GUI builder. I wrote an object explorer. It understands ... erm ... it reads and tries to understand Perl Win32::GUI scripts, packs the controls, together with their properties and methods, in a multidimensional hash and graphically displays that. The next step will be to export changes to the props or meths back into a perl script. And then I want to provide a code editor instead of a simple textfield to edit the methods. I.e., syntax highlighting, auto indentation and all the fancy stuff you'd expect. I use UltraEdit for my perl code and it's soooo convenient. Anyway. I can certainly do the export thing, but I have zero experience with richedit for the code editor part. Anybody got some hints or wanna join? Please have a look at the GOE (GUI Object Explorer) at http://www.fairymails.com/perl/ Download either goe.zip or the the other three files (which are actually the contents of the zip), start goe.pl and give it a Win32-GUI script in the fileopen dialog. If it happens to find a *.ui file of the same name, it offers to include this as part of the script - this is to interface to David's gb109. Maybe we can melt the goe - once ready - into the gb and call it ide? Feeedback welcome - especially bug reports if you have a script that I fail to parse correctly. Thank you Harald
