Hello Eric,

Problems:

1. Richedit doesn't work in conjunction with Win32::OLE. When my script was
small Richedit and Win32::OLE worked together. But my script became bigger
and the dialogs with Richedit didn't work anymore. I refactored my script
and it worked fine. But some lines code later it didn't work again. The
behaviour was unpredictable. I found out, that the problem was Win32::OLE.
But I found no solution and couldn't set up a little script that shows the
problem. So I replaced Richedit against a textfield with multiple lines. Not
very good.

2. Checkboxes with Listviews. I absolutely need a Listview with checkboxes.
But I didn't find out how to check it initially. I can read the state but
can't set the state.

3. Tabular keystroke for switching between widgets. It did work until I only
wanted one window shown in the taskbar. So I used -parent option and this
didn't work.

These are my greatest problems while developing my app. It is a little
workflow management system for ebay sellers. It is german, but the
marketplace specific code is external. Regardless there is no english user
interface or a marketplace module for ebay.com. I am thinking about L10N and
then will search for developers who can convert the marketplace module from
eBay.de to eBay.com. (http://sourceforge.net/projects/auctioneer/)

My second problem is my biggest these days. I want to use such a checked
Listview for displaying installed marketplace modules or auction fees. I
can't figure out how to set up a list with some checkboxes checked and
others not.

Other problems are for example that I use a speedbar and didn't find out how
to use transparent images for it. Another color setting on another system
and the app looks bad.

Then the bad window management. A message box could be send behind the app,
and so on ...

I really would appreciate tooltips, but is there active development in this
project?

Thanks for reading :-)
Peter,

Germany Ulm
