Ideally the sourceforge site would be best place to have a repository of these kind of objects, and if someone has the time to spare then I'm sure Aldo would give the required permissions to play with the website. > Whilst I don't have anything to contribute in > this vein right now, I > though this might be a good moment to introduce > HyperLink.pm - a > sub-classing of Win32::GUI::Label that acts as a > clickable hyperlink: This is a great start - a nice object. Although I had a problem with the constants (I'm on5.6) and got the following error: D:\Development>perl HyperLinkDemo.pl Constant name 'HASH(0x1a4306c)' has invalid characters at HyperLink.pm line 88 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at HyperLink.pm line 91. Compilation failed in require at HyperLinkDemo.pl line 15. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at HyperLinkDemo.pl line 15. Once fixed, it worked great. As a suggestion, it would be a good idea to get rid of the dependency on Win32::API - SetCapture and ReleaseCapture are already in Win32::GUI. If you are keen on this idea, I'll add GetCapture, LoadCursor into GUI.xs. The issue would then be ShellExecute - perhaps that should be added too? Cheers, Jez.
