I was simply invoking Wx via "use Wx;"
I added the qw ( :everything); you suggested but it still doesn't look
like the constants are being defined.
I see stuff like "wxOpen isn't numeric..." in my warnings.
Perhaps this is an ActiveState thing? I do the vast majority of my
development on Unix/Linux and Windows PERL distributions are pretty new
to me...

Whoops, replied to and from wrong email address:
Hi Brad,
It sounds like you have a 'use' problem.
Do you have a
use Wx qw( :everything );
Or something at the beginning of your program?
This should load the wxID_ANY styles and stuff. There are subsets of
it which you are supposed to use, but I am too lazy to work out which.
Mark has in fact written a program which will work out for each
program what you should load. It's on the Wiki here:

Good luck,

If i leave the single quotes off PERL complains that I "cannot use barewords

I ended up figuring out that for some reason PERL is unable to map those
"wxTE_xxxx" options to their values. I had to dig into to the WX source
code and find the actual hex values that they signify and use those. Once I
replaced "wxTE_Multiline" with 0x0020, everything began working...

Hi Brad,
I haven't run your code, but from looking at it, you don't need the
single quotes or the brackets around the styles.
Each style is just a function eg wxID_ANY just says,
sub wxID_ANY {return -1};
So it's not:
('wxTE_MULTILINE' | 'wxTE_READONLY' | 'wxTE_WORDWRAP' ),
but,
wxTE_MULTILINE | wxTE_READONLY | wxTE_WORDWRAP,
That should fix it,

Hello,
I'm having some problems getting styles to take effect on a TextCtrl box.
I'm using a TextCtrl to display the response to an HTTP request and it's
getting written to the TextCtrl in one super long line. I'd like to
wrap
the text and use all of the vertical space in the window.
Here is how I'm creating my TextCtrl, but the styles simply don't seem to
be
taking effect.
/ $self->{Response_Text} = Wx::TextCtrl->new($panel, # parent//
// 6, # id//
// "", # label//
// [100, 275], # position//
// [500, 400], # text control size [width,
height] //
// ('wxTE_MULTILINE' | 'wxTE_READONLY' |
'wxTE_WORDWRAP' ),//
// );/
I've also tried to experimenting with wxTE_PASSWORD because it seemed
like
an easy way to test to see if I could get any styles to apply, but
nothing
seems to actually work.... any advice?
