Aldo and/or Anybody -
I've gotten back into my GUI Building code (gb) that you greatly
enhanced. Thanks. :)
I have a few comments and questions.
If I understand your code correctly, each widget (button, label, etc) must
be drawn graphically. On the surface of it, the simple widgets like
buttons, and checkboxes are not that bad, but when I get into more
advanced stuff like ListViews I'm going to have my work cut out for me.
I've managed to get checkboxes, borders and radio buttons working although
I can't get the "arc" function to draw anything (I need arc to finish off
the radio button). Can you send me some sample code which uses arc?
Is the $DC->DrawEdge function something you wrote which is internal to
Win32::GUI? I used it for the checkbox.
Question about text width. When I call:
($w, $h)
= $CWin->GetTextExtentPoint32($text, Win32::GUI::GetStockObject(17));
The width returned for the text comes back longer than it needs to be.
This causes text to be off center on the buttons and extra space after
the text in a border. It's as if windows is saying, "this is the most
space you'll need, not what you're really using". Anyway to get around
this?
The flicker and delay problems when moving widgets around went away when
I removed the 'print' commands. Guess Windows couldn't keep up writing
to the DOS window and the GUI window at the same time.
I still have a couple things to fix but hope to release an update soon.
Thanks for your help.
