What you like, don't like, what you think would improve it. Give me a few weeks to release the version I'm working on now. I should also put together a web page with screen shots, documentation and link to download the program. I don't know where I would put this page - I'll have to ask my boss if it is ok to host it on one of our servers. -dave > > Sincerely, > Brad Smith, > Social Design Technologies > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > On 12 Dec 00, at 14:36, David Hiltz wrote: > > > > is there a forms builder or a gui builder for the win32::GUI module ? > > > > I've been working on one.

I think there is still quite a bit to do be done with GB and the Win32::GUI stuff that I don't have time to add TK stuff. The look and feel of TK stuff under window as well as widgets available are different enough that it would cause GB to be more complex than it needs to be. Not to say it's not possible, just not practical at this point. Plus, I think there are a few visual TK builders out there already. > > Brad Smith, > Social Design Technologies > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > On 13 Dec 00, at 13:41, Robert Sherman wrote: > > > i believe i have located it (for any interested): > > > > http://www.mail-archive.com/perl-win32-gui@httptech.com/msg00718.html > > > > -rob > > > > David Hiltz wrote: > > > > > > > is there a forms builder or a gui builder for the win32::GUI module ? > > > > > > I've been working on one.

Re: [perl-win32-gui] gui builder
One final note on the GUI Builder project: Many times, when I am programming and including an interface, I have to flip-flop between TK and GUI. David, does your GUI Builder have to be so exclusive in programming, or could you open it up to include functionality available under the TK module as well?

David Hiltz et al: Yes, David! I don't know about the other Win32::GUI users, but I would surely appreciate a tool of this capacity! Briefly, I played with your previous releases. At the time, I found them limited in usage. Yet, they expedited the GUI-building process.

[perl-win32-gui] yuppiti yuppiti yep (0.0.502)
hello hello hello, I've finally hunted to death the cursed bug with mangled output from Textfield! for those who are interested, it was my fault at all: in the WM_CTLCOLOR* message processing (to support -background and -foreground options), I added an ingenuos: SetBkMode((HDC) wParam, TRANSPARENT) this was needed to properly colorize Labels, but was incorrectly applied to other controls too. obviously, the background of the Textfield was marked as TRANSPARENT, so scrolling did not clear the content of the background area and the display was all garbled. I still don't understand why I did not noticed it before, I seem to remember having done lot of tests commenting out parts of the message processing loop, but apparently I experienced a temporary brain blackout :-) other than that, this version has a nice Scroll() method for Textfield and RichEdit. I have also added a sample for the Splitter control. I'm working on the documentation, which is now splitted in fewer files: - packages.html - methods.html - options.html - events.html I've done a lot of work to cross-reference things back and forth, I hope it is somewhat clearer this way. Still very very incomplete, though. If someone wants to help with it, this is your chance to offer a hand :-) as always, binaries for 5.005 and 5.6.0 will follow as PPM packages. cheers, Aldo __END__ $_=q,just perl,,s, , another ,,s,$, hacker,,print; Win32-GUI-0.0.502.tar.gz
