Re: [perl-win32-gui] changing windows properties
Thanks for your help Jon.
I was able to change certain window properties, but
not the -topmost property. It's not that big of a
deal to re-create the window, so I can live with it
for now.
Here's another situation, I use a window with a
toolbar to fire dialog boxes. Usually when I click
the close button on one of those dialogs, the dialog
closes like it should, however in some cases the
dialog doesn't close, but does return the focus to the
main window. I assume it's okay to use the _Terminate
event when these dialogs close and every dialog is
created the same way. Before the dialogs close I try
to capture the -Top, -Left, and save them so that
when the dialog is reopened it opens in the same
location.
Has anyone faced a similar situation? I can supply my
code if you'd like to see what I'm doing.
Has someone successfully implemented tooltips? I
would like to use tooltips, but so far I haven't been
able to get the tip to display when the mouse is over
the object. I'd like to get it working for my toolbar
buttons. If someone has working code they could post,
I'd be a very happy person.
Thanks,
Jeremy Blonde

do:
$MainWindow-{-left} = 30;
This will move the window to the position 30 pixels
from the left side of
the screen. i couldn't get this to work for a
window using the -topmost =
1 option or using -addexstyle = WS_EX_TOPMOST but
maybe I am way off on
this one.

Subject: Re: [perl-win32-gui] Changing the font size
And to go along with that..
Is there a way to change the properties of a window
after it has been created? I'd like to be able to
allow -topmost to be turned on and off. I can get it
to work if I re-create the window, but I'd like to
avoid doing that if possible.
Also is there a way to set the checkmark for menu
items after the menu has been created? Again, I can
get it to work if I re-create the window.
Thanks,

Here's something else I couldn't find in the
archives:
Is it possible to change the size in a font object?
I've tried using the
Change method to change the size and then resetting
the font using the
SetFont method, but it doesn't work. I don't want
to create a whole bunch
of font objects just so I can have different sizes,
but that may be the only
solution. Any ideas?
