try giving a -size to the Textfield, eg:
$main->AddTextfield(
-name=>'Sample',
-background=>[255,255,255],
-pos=>[75,110],
-size=>[150,22],
-prompt=>"Type here:",
);
or a -text, eg:
$main->AddTextfield(
-name=>'Sample',
-background=>[255,255,255],
-pos=>[75,110],
-prompt=>"Type here:",
-text=>"sample text",
);
if you don't specify a size, the control will be
automatically sized to fit the given text. but if you
don't specify a size and give no text, the control
is sized 0x0 pixels, thus it is invisible.
this is not a nice thing, and will eventually be
resolved by giving a default size (say, 150x22)
when the calculated size results in a 0x0.
cheers,
Aldo
