Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win XP styles
You shouldn't have any issue with Reshacker and PP. I can recommend PerlApp with Win32GUI, it's a nice tool. As a side you can also use Reshacker to add icons, bitmaps, string tables and other objects to the exe. In the case of icons, bitmaps, string tables Win32::GUI automatically looks into the exe first so you dont need to change your code. Cheers, Jeremy.

Hi all,
Am I susceptible to a crash if I create a Win32::GUI object (such as a
label) in one thread, then call methods on that object in another thread?
Following is an example of what I mean. Notice that I'm passing the label
object as an argument to the entry point function of the new thread. This
seems to work, but I don't know if I should be doing it just because it
works:
use strict;
use Win32::GUI();
use threads;
my $main = Win32::GUI::Window-new
(
-name = 'Main',
-text = 'Template Window',
-size = [300,300],
);
my $label = $main-AddLabel
(
-text = 'I like the number 10',
-pos = [10,10],
);
threads-create('countDown', $label);
$main-Center();
$main-Show();
Win32::GUI::Dialog();
sub countDown
{
my $labelObject = shift;
for (my $i=9; $i0; $i--)
{
$labelObject-Text(I like the number $i);
sleep(1);
}
}

Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] SOLUTION -- Newlines disappearing in richedit(unicode-content)
Hi Octavian and Glenn
The thing with the '\par' was the point.
The RTF-format is documented here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa140283(office.10).aspx
i had to turn the '\r\n' into '\\par\r\n'.
So here is my solution to handle multiline-unicode-text with richedit-fields.
You need the pragmas:
use utf8; # 'sub GT_DEFAULT() {0};'
#my $flags = $flags = GT_DEFAULT; # defined with a constant
my $codepage = 1200;
my $struct = pack(LLIpp, $maxlen, $flags, $codepage, undef, undef);
my $address = pack(P20, $struct);
my $wparam = unpack(L, $address);
my $numTchar = $window - $richedit - SendMessage(1118, $wparam, $buffer); #
Alternatively You can define the message as constants WM_USER and EM_GETTEXTEX
in
the header of the program -- 'sub WM_USER() {1024};' and 'sub EM_GETTEXTEX()
{+WM_USER+94};'
# my $numTchar = $WIN - re - SendMessage(qw(EM_GETTEXTEX {+WM_USER()
{1024}+94}), $wparam, $buffer); # defined with constants
my $octets = substr($buffer, 0, ($numTchar*2));
my $text = decode(UCS-2LE, $octets);
return($text); # Returns a unicode-string
}
And the Set-function:
sub SetText # prepares unicode-strings for the Text()-method of the richedit
{
my @input = @_;
my $rtf_prolog = '{\rtf1'; # Minimal-RTF-Header. Define Your own RTF-Header
according the RTF-specs
$input[0] =~ s/([^\x00-\x7F])/'\uc1\u'.((ord $1 32768)?ord $1 :
ord($1)-65536).'?'/eg; # Converting unicode into 'escaped' RTF-format
$input[0] =~ s/(\r\n)/\\par\r\n/g; # Converting common newlines (\r\n) into
RTF-newlines (\par\r\n)
return $rtf_prolog . $input[0] . '}'; # Returns the string as RTF
}
So if you want so get the text of the field, use:
$SAVE = GetText($window,'richedit_field');
And to set it back, use:
$window - richdit_field - Text(SetText($SAVE));
In this example, I made the function GetText variable, if you have more than one
window or richedit-field.
Honestly, I tested this not to much. Newlines, tabs and spaces works well. But i
don't know what happens, if there is something totally unexpected in the
richedit.
Feel free to ask, if anyone needs examples or further information to the
functions above.
Again, thanks to all.
Regards,
Raphael

Subject: [perl-win32-gui-users] Newlines disappearing in
richedit(unicode-content)
Hi @ all
I’m working on an program, that can handle
Unicode-text in richedit-fields.
The fields sets and gets the text using some
modifications of the richedit-field. These mods are also from this
mailinglist.
The problem is, that Newlines (\r\n) in strings
(whether if it’s ASCII or Unicode) seems to be wiped, when I put the
string into the modified richedit-field.
I wrote a demo/test-program to show this
behavior. You can get it here:
http://www.rabanti.ch/storage/rtf_utf_test.pl or
http://www.rabanti.ch/storage/rtf_utf_test.zip (if
there is a problem with the encoding, while downloading)
Anyhow I try to describe it abbreviated in this
post.
For saving Unicode-content into a string, I use
these functions: -
sub WM_USER() {1024};
sub EM_GETTEXTEX() {+WM_USER+94};
sub GT_DEFAULT() {0};
sub get_unicode # takes the text out of the
richedit-field {
my $maxlen = 1024;
my $buffer = x
$maxlen; my $flags = GT_DEFAULT;
my $codepage = 1200;
my $struct = pack(LLIpp, $maxlen,
$flags, $codepage, undef, undef); my $address = pack(P20,
$struct); my $wparam = unpack(L,
$address); my $numTchar = $WIN - re -
SendMessage(EM_GETTEXTEX, $wparam, $buffer); # re is the richedit-field,
$WIN the
window-object my $octets = substr($buffer, 0,
($numTchar*2)); my $text = decode(UCS-2LE,
$octets); return($text);
}
-
This is the richedit-field
(simplified):
$RE = $WIN - AddRichEdit(
-name = 're',
-size = [240, 80],
-pushstyle = WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE |
WS_VSCROLL | WS_HSCROLL | ES_LEFT | ES_MULTILINE,
);
-
I get the text out of the field like
that: $SAVE = get_unicode;
When I try to write the string back into the
field, I use this function and definition:
-
our $RTF_PROLOG = '{\rtf1';
sub string2rtf # string-converter for
RTF-handling {
my @input = @_;
$input[0] =~ s/([^\x00-\x7F])/'\uc1\u'.((ord
$1 32768)?ord $1 : ord($1)-65536).'?'/eg;
return $input[0];
}
-
I try to set the text like that:
$WIN - re - Text($RTF_PROLOG .
string2rtf($SAVE) . '}');
The result is that all
Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Threads
I thought only the main thread can be used to create GUI elements reliably.
Isn't that true?
No. As long as you are using the latest version of Win32::GUI and a late perl
(5.8.7 +) you can have any number of threads creating GUI objects (a separate
message pump will be created in each thread - so when one thread/window is
frozen becuase it's doing work, all other thread/windows will still work).
The big problem becomes when you want to share Win32::GUI objects (the handles)
between threads - for some things you'll be OK, for others you may get burnt
(this is a windows issue rather than Win32::GUI). The best solution is to use
the Win32::GUI object in the thread that created it and use thread safe queues
to communicate between threads.
You are also safe when other perl modules create threads (perl and C threads)
and comunicate back to the thread with the Win32::GUI GUI.
For some examples on how easy threading can be with Win32::GUI have a look at:
Win32::GUI::ThreadUtils @ http://www.robmay.me.uk/win32gui
The module is flaged as experimental, but it will give a good intro. Has some
examples of various threading models - boss/worker etc.
Cheers,
Jeremy.
