Hi all. I'm making my first programs with the win32::gui module, but I'm
experiencing some problems:
1) threads and win32gui?
Until yesterday I was using activeperl's distribution (1.03), but after
updating to 1.05 I'm getting the following errors with my script:
Free to wrong pool 1ceafb0 not 222828 at
C:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/GUI.pm line 294 during global destruction.
I tried adding a piece of code a found somewhere:
# make Win32::GUI threadsafe
sub Win32::GUI::CLONE_SKIP {1};
sub Win32::GUI::Timer::CLONE_SKIP {1};
Still got an error, but now another one:
Thread failed to start: Can't call method "Text" on unblessed
reference at Smoothwall Remote.pl line 794.
Attempt to free non-existent shared string 'Tray', Perl interpreter:
0x1cec67c at C:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/GUI.pm line 3429 during global
destruction.
Unbalanced string table refcount: (1) for "" during global
destruction.
Unbalanced string table refcount: (1) for "DELETE" during global
destruction.
Scalars leaked: -1
Tray is the name of my NotifyIcon, tried to comment it out but I'm still
getting the same error :?
2) Hide() vs -Visible => 0
I'm working with tabstrips, and on tabstrip_change, I hide some labels and
textboxes to show others.
I was doing this with "$main_window->label->Hide()", but to shorten some
code I tried to do it like "$main_window->label->Change(-visible => 0)".
But this doesn't work completely: the main window doesn't get updated (you
don't see any changes). But if I place "$main_window->Hide();
$main_window->Show();" right after, the changes get updated, but with some
flickering (I tried "$main_window->Update();" too, but this doesn't seem to
do anything).
Do I miss something?
Thanks in advance for all comments or help!!

P.S. I'm running ActivePerl 5.8.8, under Windows XP SP2...
