Re: Displaying Messages using perl

The only thing I can think of is Win32::MsgBox(), but I seem to remember that there was also a Windows command that would pop open a dialogue or informational box upon execution. Hope this helps.

Hi all,
I have a 'toughie' for you all (somewhat related to the first question
about this subject):
I work in interop (Unix and Win32) and I need to display a
non-interactive message (such as 'waiting' or 'loading' or 'in
progress') while I perform some time-consuming task (query a remote db,
loading a 'heavy' application etc.).
Since Tk is not thread-safe on Win32 (according to documentation and
several head-on tests I've made myself), I can't fork the process and
create a child window when I want to display my message.
Since I use Unix as well, I can't use Win32::Gui to accomplish this on
every OS I use.
Any ideas on how I can perform a 'time-consuming' operation and display
a notification about it (which will destroy itself upon successful
completion of the first task) being in progress at the same time?
P.S - I've tried to use Tk::ProgressSplash, and it works fine for the
splash screen, but I'm looking for something more 'Windows' like in the
sense of a dialog box and not an image. Furthermore, I don't want a
progress bar, but rather a notification that will 'self-destruct'.
Thanks in advance,

Hi all I recently wrote a script that performs a controlled installation of various apps based on several configurations in an ini file. The problem I have is I want to be able to display the status of the script as it runs. I thought I could use TK but I dont want the program to be interactive

(just to display messages) and TK waits for an exit statement b/4

running

anything after MainLoop. What I reall need is a display object I can create and change at various points in the script. any ideas Thanks
