I've got, umm, 2 weeks into Perl and many questions. But I have used Win32::GUI. It's a great product brought to us my many good and accomplished people (a TRUTH that I believe). But, how do I find out how to use it? I've read, looked at, downloaded all the documentation from www.dada.it, www.cpan.org, www.perl.org, www.perl.com, and, well, I guess others. The documentation is not complete! So I've looked at my MSVC++ 6.0 MSDN (never do that again) and will be looking at the Visual Studio tools to see what is done and how to do it and will probably try to use one of the Perl GUI creation editors. I've also looked at GUI.pm but, in truth, my Perl isn't that strong and it seems that after all is said and done, the list (@_) of input values is passed to a binary - where I can't look. Let's take an example. I wanted a ListBox with a scroll bar and a title/caption/name, or whatever. I used attributes I discovered from GUI.pm for the scroll bar (-autovscroll and -vscroll) and I used attributes which really did work for a window (-caption, -title, -name) for a title, and none of it worked. But there was an example with a deprecated feature (-style =>), and it did work. So now I'm successful using a deprecated feature but have no place to turn when the feature turns off. So, sigh, where do I get documentation and/or how do I help? Am I missing something (two weeks is really not a long time to learn language and GUI)? art ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
