Unfortunately, you're not talking about a conversion so much as a rewrite. Widget packing is different, but it's just a bit of rethinking.
The biggest differences I encountered is you don't bind variables to your widgets. You are probably used to supplying a variable reference to your widgets, and having any changes automatically change on screen. You can't do this in Gtk2. You are going to have to explicitly set the values in a widget, and then explicitly get it back out. It's a bit more typing, and requires you to think about your program flow a little more finely, but it's all to the better. You'll find Gtk2 much faster, prettier, and useful. The only problem is the learning curve is a bit steeper. There's lots of help to be had here on the list though. Feel free to email me directly if you have specific questions. I have worked up some Gtk2-perl equivalents to Perl/Tk's 'Lab' widgets such as LabEntry, LabComboBox, etc. They're workable, but not really ready for CPAN. Good luck, and welcome. -- -Nik _______________________________________________ gtk-perl-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list
