Another Cursor surprise.

On compiling 665 and continuing my current application, nowing adding
tooltips with great gusto :-) Thanks Aldo, The cursor defaults to the
Hourglass, until I click one of the buttons, or changes to the Textual 'I'
beam. However I have set NO cursor declarations in the program. Does this
mean we now have to initialize a default cursor type to stop this apparent
random cursor behaviour??

On the subject of toolbars... how do you add tool tips to the individual
icons in the toolbar

$tbResultWin = $ResultWindow->AddToolbar(
    -left   => 0,
    -top    => 0,
    -width  => 790,
    -height => 80,
    -name   => "tbResultWin",
);

$ResToolsBMP = new Win32::GUI::Bitmap("./Images/restools.bmp");
$tbResultWin->SetBitmapSize(18, 18);
$tbResultWin->AddBitmap($ResToolsBMP, 12);

$tbResultWin->AddButtons(
        12,
        0, 1, 4, 0, 0,
        1, 2, 4, 0, 1,
        2, 3, 4, 0, 2,
        3, 4, 4, 0, 3,
        4, 5, 4, 1, 4,
        5, 6, 4, 0, 5,
        6, 7, 4, 0, 6,
        7, 8, 4, 1, 7,
        8, 9, 4, 0, 8,
        9, 10, 4, 0, 9,
        10, 11, 4, 1, 10,
        11, 12, 4, 0, 11,
);

Lastly has anyone used a call to Win32::GUI::BrowseForFolder, I found a
reference to it in a mail archive using two methods, -root
and -includefiles. But could not get it to work. Has anyone else used this?

PS for all the 'How do I make an exe from my Perl Script' threads. I have
now upgraded to ActiveStates PDK 4.0 and it binds my app and Win32-GUI
perfectly, I like the new features of being able to add an icon as well.
Together with the other included applications the PDK is well worth the
money.
