Try this code:
$Hash{style} = WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU;
$WindowHandle = new GUI::DialogBox (
-name => $Hash{name},
-title => $Hash{title},
-style => $Hash{style},
-left => $Hash{left},
-top => $Hash{top},
-width => $Hash{width},
-height => $Hash{height},
);
You will find that it works (assuming that all the other hash values are
correct), but the following will not.
$Hash{style} = "WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU";
$WindowHandle = new GUI::DialogBox (
-name => $Hash{name},
-title => $Hash{title},
-style => $Hash{style},
-left => $Hash{left},
-top => $Hash{top},
-width => $Hash{width},
-height => $Hash{height},
);
You need to store the style as number or convert it to a number using an
eval as Aldo pointer out.
Sorry if I was short, I did not mean to lecture.
P.S. I have tested this.
