Asunto:uninstall/delete running app
I have a program that run continuously once an hour that looks something like this:
while (1 == 1)
{
# stuffs ..
sleep(3600);
}
During uninstall, or if the customer tries to delete this program, it won't allow you to because the program is continuously running. I know you can just go into task manager and just stop it. Is there a way I can make perl run once an hour like this, but have it stop when I uninstall?

Win32::GUI::Grid question
Hello, all, I'm writing Win32 GUI application and using grid control. End users will have to fill cells of that grid with float, not integer numbers. I have some questions: 1) as I understood, if cell have type GVIT_NUMERIC it's impossible fill it with float. Is it true or I have miss something? 2) in each rowthere is cell containing sum of all the other cell values in a row. On BeginEdit event the value of cell being edited substracted from sum cell value. On EndEdit event current value of cell added to sum cell value. But there is an issue - calculated total sum displayed in corresponding cell with comma as decimal delimiter. So I can't use it without some handling. Such handling is quite simple, but I'm just interested why comma appears. -- Thankful, Sergey mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
Win32::Console and mouse on Windows 2k
Hi to everybody, I have problems with mouse clicks using A.Capini's Win32::Console: it works well on Windows XP but mouse clicks are not intercepted correctly on Windows 2k. For example, trying Aldo's test script (test.pl) that is distributed in the package Win32Console-0.03.zip in his repository, a mouse (left) click anywhere on the console will produce a change of the console title and a mouse (right) click will give back the original title... I have not found anything on the mailing list about this (and actually no recent mail reguarding Win32::Console). Has anybody already encounter (and solve) this problem? Thank you. ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
Perl Net executable build fails - cant find @INC
Hi, i really need some help.

I definitely have the modules installed in the right place, and these same scripts work correctly when i run them from command line. The PerlNET GUI's Main window shows that my module search paths do contain (C:\Perl\lib) and (C:\Perl\site\lib) which is where my CPAN modules are ... Ive even added these paths to my PERL5LIB environment variable.

Unnotified errors using FileOp to copy to a CD
Title: Message I have been attempting to use the FileOp Copy interfaceto copy file structures to a CD-ROM. Where this hits an error, a dialogue is popped up (for instance if there is an unwritable disk in the drive). However, if this dialogue is cancelled, the Copy still returns with a successful status. From the documentation, I understand the dialogue is a result of the FOF_NOERRORUI option omissionfrom the Copy. I have also tried CopyEx with this option - the call thenfails silently, but there is still a successful status returned (for this I have just looked at the return status from the Copy - I understand that until I detect a failure here, $OS_ERROR,and $EXTENDED_OS_ERROR are meaningless. Can anyone shed any light on this? Am I on the right track, orare Copy/CopyEx calls not the right mechanism for copying to a CD? What I need to achieve is to copy some structures to a CD (ideally I'd like to manage the full burn from code, but if I need to do the final step manually to physically write the CD, that would be OK. However, it is vital that I understand the success or otherwise of the operations.

How much did you copy and how did you go about it? It sounds like you partially overwrote the second computer's copy of Win32::OLE with a different version. Try using PPM to reinstall Win32::OLE. Make sure you are only copying the modules you need. Overwriting important modules such as Win32::OLE can cause headaches down the road.

Re: SerialPort problems -- cygwin / win32 / *nix
--- Sisyphus wrote: - Original Message - From: robert johnson So, now my question becomes trivial. How do I get Win32::SerialPort towork under cygwin? i tried installing this module but it dies miserably during the make. I therefore assumed it was incompatable with cygwin. I've installed it (win32:serial) and had it working just fine on my normal Windows perl build. Sorry for all the hand-holding, I'm feeling pretty incompetent about now. Installing the module is just a matter of running 'perl install.pl' (on the version I have, at least). If that doesn't work then you could manually copy the 2 '.pm' files to the appropriate perl folder. I expect the real problem will be that you don't have the prerequisite Win32::API - which used not to build straight out of the box on Cygwin, and I assume still doesn't. There is a version of Win32::API around somewhere that *does* build on Cygwin. I used to have it and may still do. See if you can Google it up - else, let me know, and I'll see if I can find it. (The only problem with Aldo's version of Win32::API is/was that the assembly code is/was written for MS compilers - and for Cygwin you need assembly code that gcc understands.) Rob, Bill, Ive installed Risacher's patched Win32::API as Rob suggested, and tried again to install Win32::SerialPort in my cygwin build. however, it (Win:Ser) still fails all tests.

The gas assembly code was added by Daniel Risacher [EMAIL PROTECTED] . He may have something more recent if you want to check up on Google (or contact him) - though either of those 2 versions that I have should be quite adequate for Win32::SerialPort.

Afaict, the first test in SerialPort test1.t simply tries to load Win32::SerialPort . and that generated a core, which makes me suspect that there's something wrong with Win32::API. As another check, does the following script simply print done, and then exit: use Win32::API; print done\n; __END__ If that works ok, try changing the first line to use Win32::SerialPort; (without quotes) and see what happens. If everything is still ok maybe you can hack at test1.t to see just where the problem arises.

I'm using Win32::Console-0.031 (from libwin32-0.191). The only documented difference between 0.031 and 0.03 is that a typo in GenerateCtrlEvent() was fixed. I find that I always end up having to hit the 'Esc' key to escape the clutches of Aldo's test.pl, and that the console is then permanently altered, anyway.
