Steve:
The exit(0) seems to be causing a segmentation fault. Any Ideas?
Latest version of the code is attached.
Thanks,
James

I believe I looked at Glade a couple of years ago. Seems it kept
crashing on me so I just went back to the old manual method.
Thanks for the sample code.

Hi James,
I've replied to the list as well because I feel it needs a bit
of loving!

Hi Steve:
How's your project rollout going?
Very kind of you to ask. The launch went very well, since
then we have been dealing with the manufacturer and we are
working to a delivery of the first batch to Brazil by the end
of March. Our Brazilian salesman is confident that he will
sell all the first batch without too much difficulty.
What's the accepted method to shutdown an application?
I can use die, but there must be a WX call that should be
used. I don't want to leave a frame open on the screen
that has to be closed manually.
Example using die is attached. (Wrapper around a command
line application)
The short answer to your question is probably "exit(0);"
called from an exit button.
However, the longer answer is did you ever see wxGlade?
I don't know whether wxGlade was ever converted to 3.0.x, but
it did work on 2.8 and I thought 2.9. It's a wonderful way to
get started with all the Wx paradigms. I used it extensively
at the beginning.
I re-wrote the OnInit subroutine as below. It uses
Wx::BoxSizer and Wx::Events, both of which will help your
application. I also used Wx::FilePickerCtrl as a control to
get the .pdf file.
Have fun with it.
Best regards
Steve.
sub OnInit {
my $parent = shift;
my $frame = Wx::Frame->new(undef, wxID_ANY, "",
wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize );
$parent->SetTopWindow($frame);
#Create controls
# Fields
my $pdfLabel=Wx::StaticText->new($frame, wxID_ANY,"PDF
file", wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize);
my $pdfFilePicker=Wx::FilePickerCtrl->new($frame,
wxID_ANY, "", "Pick a folder","*.pdf",wxDefaultPosition,
[200,-1],
wxDIRP_DIR_MUST_EXIST|wxDIRP_CHANGE_DIR|wxDIRP_USE_TEXTCTRL);
$pdfFilePicker->SetPath("/home/image/");
my $cropLabel=Wx::StaticText->new($frame, wxID_ANY,"crop
string", wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize);
my $cropStringText=Wx::TextCtrl->new($frame,
wxID_ANY,"crop string", wxDefaultPosition, [200,-1]);
# Buttons
my $okButton = Wx::Button->new($frame, wxID_OK, "",
wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize);
my $cancelButton = Wx::Button->new($frame, wxID_CANCEL,
"", wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize);
# Create sizers.
my $verticalSizerFrame = Wx::BoxSizer->new(wxVERTICAL);
$frame->SetSizer($verticalSizerFrame);
my $verticalSizerControls = Wx::BoxSizer->new(wxVERTICAL);
my $horizontalSizerButtons = Wx::BoxSizer->new(wxHORIZONTAL);
# Lay 'em out.
$verticalSizerFrame->Add($verticalSizerControls,0,0,0);
$verticalSizerFrame->Add($horizontalSizerButtons,0,0,0);
$verticalSizerControls->Add($pdfLabel,0,0,0);
$verticalSizerControls->Add($pdfFilePicker,0,0,0);
$verticalSizerControls->Add($cropLabel,0,0,0);
$verticalSizerControls->Add($cropStringText,0,0,0);
$horizontalSizerButtons->Add($okButton,0,0,0);
$horizontalSizerButtons->Add($cancelButton,0,0,0);
# Event handlers
Wx::Event::EVT_BUTTON($frame, $okButton, sub {
my ($self, $event) = @_;
exit (0);
});
$verticalSizerFrame->Layout();
$frame->Show(1);
}
