Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] [Win32::GUI] List of missing desired widgets
Hi, Eventualy, you can take a look to PAR (Perl ARchive toolkit) It's possible to turn a script to an executable. It's available via ActiveState PPM (but not last release, 0.67 i think). See : http://search.cpan.org/author/AUTRIJUS/PAR-0.69/ Laurent. By the way, is there a way to get a stand-alone Perl GUI application, like TGL.exe ? Even my C++ Builder application that are 300KB, most come with 45 MB of DLL/BPL and similar in the current directory. So having one stand-alone EXE without Perl installed would be great! It's not free software (time-limited trial versions are available for download), but I've been pretty pleased with my results so far using Perl2Exe (http://www.indigostar.com/perl2exe.htm).

The GUI Loft should support those widget then!
The version I downloaded had a very small list of widget. =|
If I could drag'n'drop any of them that would be really really cool! =)

TScrollBar: Scroll bar vertical or horizontal
missing, but do we need one?
yes. There should be a way to get such, it's a win32 gui element.
Could be needed for composed widget.
TRadioGroup:Panel Box container for radio buttons set
missing, and we need one :-)
Not necessarly, but how do you group radio set ?
Inside a hash? I know VB5 doesn't require such, but Borland does.

There should be a way to get such, it's a also win32 gui element.

This is SO FUNDAMENTAL for usability reasons:
++
| [folder] Open|
++
++
| [disk] Save|
++
++
| [door] Exit |

TMaskEdit: TEdit with RegExp input validation mask
should be easy with a few lines of code?
Sure, but why not making it inside a perl class with inheritance.
For instance, the hook up needed such that it takes only numerics
/^[0-9]{0,6}$/
Such that the textbox doesn't do anything on non-numerics: characters being
ignored.
