 Hi,

 Cool - do some major testing with your app, and if things are still OK,
 the fix (well, a version of it) will get committed to CVS.

I committed the changes to fix the -background option GDI object leak.

I also added a -backgroundbrush option, which can be used instead of 
-background if you are creating a huge number of windows with the same 
background.

eg. instead of:

$window-AddLabel( -background = 0xff00ff, ... );

you can do this:

use Win32::GUI::Constants;
my $brush = Win32::GUI::Brush-new(
 -style = BS_SOLID,
 -color = 0xff00ff,
);
$window-AddLabel( -backgroundbrush = $brush, ... );

this way you can effectively use the same $brush for several windows and 
avoid creating too much GDI objects. (of course you have to take care 
that $brush remains in scope, otherwise you may get errors or funny 
looking windows).

the changes will be available with the next release of Win32::GUI.

cheers,
Aldo

Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] New folder option on Browse for folder

 Hi Everyone,

 I am using “Win32::GUI::BrowseForFolder” .

 I cannot work out how to add the “create new” option as seen on other
 “browse for folder” windows.

 Is this feature available?

hi,

I just added two options to the BrowseForFolder function:

-newui = 0/1 (default 0)
 use the new user interface (which has a New folder button)
-nonewfolder = 0/1 (default 0)
 hides the New folder button (only meaningful with -newui = 1)

those will be available with the next release of Win32::GUI. or if you 
don't want to wait, you can checkout the cvs and build Win32::GUI 
yourself :-)

cheers,
Aldo
