Has anyone had difficulty running compiled Perl programs (using
perl2exe) that utilize the GUI Loft on machines other than the one it
was compiled on?  I have even tried the compiled demo programs that
come with GUI Loft and have no luck running on other PCs.  Any
thoughts or ideas?  I am sure it is something I need to include, but I
do not get any warnings during the compilation process.  I am using
Perl2Exe V8.70 and activestate perl 5.8.7.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi folks
Seems if it's not one question it's another from me. Sorry to hog the
floor but hopefully this is the last one - for awhile at least.

I'm wanting to use a RichEdit box in my TheLoft GUI as a reporting box.
In particular I was thinking of trying to write an array to the field
but then realised it appears only a file can be written according to
the documentation.

Has anyone a smart idea for writing an array directly to the field by
chance?

Appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks

Hi people
Can anyone help me as to how I can change the font (size, name and
boldness) for a textfield please in TheLoft gui I've just made.

I've tinkered with:

our $font = Win32::GUI::Font->new(
     -name   => "Arial",
     -bold   => 1,
     -size   => 14,
     );

...

$win-> tfProfilePath( -font => $font,);

but that idea didn't produce any dividends. I'm after either
individual changes to a specific textfield or general window changes.

I ask as I have some fields that are not enabled and the white
writing on the coloured background is hard to read.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers

I've also seen this problem. For that reason, I've stopped using TGL on
the project I'm currently working on.  I hope someone picks up on the
development of TGL, it's a nice package.

hello
i have noticed that using the Loft with win32-gui v 1.05 even a small
perl program with just a window and a button or any one of the
examples in the GUILoft demo folder will load using activestate perl
v5.8... in about TEN seconds on my P4-celeron 2Ghz, but this is not
the case if we are using The guiLoft with win32-gui v.1.03 here it is
normal with a speedy loading of programs.
is there anyone who have this problem?
peter

Hey I was in this group a couple years ago and still use GUI Loft.

When I set a text field background color, and assign the alignment as
CENTER, the color doesn't work. Anything besides center seems to work
fine.

Has anyone checked with the win32::gui team to see if someone over there
could be interested in folding TGL into win32::gui?

Nice to hear that.

Well, I guess that one is also up for grabs if you feel the need to add
more features or editors.

Hi Dave,

   Sorry for the late reply. Did not check my email for some days.

   However, I'm sad to say that I'm using 1.03 Win32:GUI and also trying to find
another good GUI for perl.

   I know that python have very good GUI IDE. (Eg pythoncard) but just can't find
a decent one for perl. LOFT seems to be closer though still pale in comparison
to pythoncard.

GUI Loft:

Is it possible to run GUI Loft on Cygwin?  I've checked the web site,
the Yahoo! group, the mailing list archives, Cygwin Setup, and Google.
It looks like the answer is "no", so I thought I'd ask.


TIA,

David

I also would like to know if anyone has a suggestion on what GUI designer to
use with the new controls available in Win32::GUI. Guibuilder provides the
source, and though dated could probably be updated. Anyone up for bringing
it's codeset up to date?

Since loft is no longer in development, I was wondering if anyone is aware
of similar software for win32::gui ? After upgrading to 1.04 today it made
me realize the controls we are missing out on. Does anyone know of another
Win32::GUI wysiwyg for Perl? I have tried the one that comes with Komodo and
was less than impressed.



Thanks,

Dave

Hi,

I have encountered the same issues and found a workaround. However,
not sure how safe is it and its implication. If it do not works, I
will leave a post here.

For that issue, I unpacked the Win32-GUI-AdHoc-0.04-PPM.tar.gzip
file and removed the blib\lib\win32\gui\bitmapinline.pm file and
then zip the whole directory into tar.gzip.

After that I ppm the package and it passes through.

If there is any danger to doing it this way, please kindly leave me
a message.

If there is a better solution, can you also please kindly leave me a
message.

Thank You

Hi all,
I've added Win32::GUI::Skin to SourceForge.  The new home page for the
project is http://win32-gui-skin.sourceforge.net

It's still the beta version 0.12.  I'm going to be working on some updates,
like adding more controls, and more work on a GUI based skin editing tool.

If anyone would like to join in and help work on Win32::GUI::Skin, please
let me know.

Actually, the first parameter to $design->buildWindow() is the -parent
option used to create the window.

(Usually when you use the ControlInspector, that's the undef value you see.)

Betreff: [The GUI Loft] Tabstrip problem

Hello all,



I am having a problem using a tabstrip. Everything works fine in the
tabstrip except when I initially open my program. Upon opening, the main tab
is a mess, cluttered with objects from other windows and whitespace.
Clicking to any other tab shows those tabs fine and clicking back to the
main tab then shows the tab fine. Only when you initially open the program
does this happen.



I have 'memorized' each tab object to the appropriate tab and only the main
tab group is set to visible. As I said, the program works fine, it is only
when you initially open the program that the main tab is a mess.



Has anyone experienced this? If not, is there code that could automatically
switch to tab 2 then back to 1 upon opening? I played around with that idea
a bit but was not successful.



Any help would be greatly appreciated!



Thanks,

Dave

Hello!
I have a Gui Loft Application with an Toolbar Object with 8 Buttons. I
want to add Tooltips to each Button but I don't know how to do it....
There is an "tip" option in the gui Loft but how is it possible to add
an seperate tooltip for each button in the toolbar. Ist it possible with
code? Please give me some advice or code example! Thanks! Regards
Andreas

Hi all,
If you are not members of the Win32::GUI list, then you may not know that
I've create a module to make it easy to create a Skin application in
Win32::GUI.

Check it out at http://www.millham.net/perlskin

It's in the beginning stages, and there is lots to do yet, but it's a start.

The biggest change needed is a TGL like tool to create the skin.  I'm
working on that.

Hello, brand new user here.

Do the FontName and FontSize properties for the label control actually
work? I'm able to set the Text property but nothing happens when I try
and set a different font or a different size. Also tried
$win->lblName->FontSize and such but get an error saying there is no
such control.

Second Label-related question: When I set the label's border property
to etched, the text disappears. I can solve this easy by embedding a
second label inside the etched label, but is that the way it's
supposed to work?

Third misc question: is there a way to configure GUI Loft so that it
opens in a specific directory? It always opens in the same directory
as tgl.exe and I have to navigate to where my projects actually live.
Kind of a pain when there is no recent file list in the File menu.
Setting the Opens in... property in the desktop shortcut doesn't work.

Last question: Is there any documentation anywhere that would have
answered the questions above? I really do try and RTFM first.

Thanks all!

Hi,

I'm trying to use the "Hyperlink" control on a simple window, I
entered the Url on the property field. When a click on the link
nothing happens. Do i have to create an event? I tried the
lblHyperlink1_Click and it didn't work.

Thanks,

After running some testing, "My Computer" problem was solved by
closing opened Win32::OLE connection to the WMI repository.
However, under Win2000, clicking on "My Documents" on the
GetOpenFileName dialog box makes script to hang.
Strangly, this error cannot be replicated on XP platform.
Replacing GetOpenFileName method with Win32::FileOp::OpenDialog does
not make any difference.

Ideas?

Thanks.
