> Use $progressbar->Change( -foreground => [$r,$g,$b], -background =>
[$r2,$g2,$b2] ) to change the colour, adding SetColor methods would probably
mean doing things I don't really feel comfortable with, like rebuilding
Makefile.pl and stuff. I'm not sure of the commands to do that, so I'm not
going to do it in case i break it. If anyone knows how to do it, the info
would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds good - I can't see anyone complaining at that.

> I'm mostly working on a widget arrangement module called CoolGrid. It
behaves like a widget itself, and lets you pack multiple widgets into a grid
with various attributes (like hfill, vfill, cell alignment etc). It allows
you to size columns and rows with the mouse and all other columns scale
accordingly. It's major sexy addition is dockable windows - if you add a
dialogbox or window into the grid it becomes a dockable panel that can be
dragged out of the grid and then snapped back into it. It'll be released as
alpha soon.

Cool.

>Yes, I'd like to be able to do this, but I think it's quite a big project
to add all this functionality. I will look into it and see.

Actually, it didn't seem that difficult - even though I gave up becuase it
was to difficult:) It is mostly passing stuff to functions and windows does
the rest.

Interesting - I'll have a nose. Currently I use a set of buttons (much like
Loft).

>Usually if this happens I either use Win32::API to get around the problem
nastilly or add the functionality to Win32::GUI myself. From a user
perspective, people could say "oh good for you, and what am *I* supposed to
do?", but I rarely see feature requests made on the sourceforge site, and if
I see nothing there, I generally assume users don't want anything much new.
One thing I've been looking into is Japanese character support, I don't
speak japanese and thank god that I know Windows 2000 well enough not to
have to be able to read, since i've had to change the language settings to
japanese in order to fix this bug.

Ok - I would be more than willing to add feature requests/bug reports on
sourceforge - going forward should we all do this?

>Which examples fail?

Just running through the samples (Win32-GUI-0.0.670\samples I'm on XP,
latest 665-fix build):

button.pl (crashes)
cmeta.pl (crashes)
dc.pl (perl errors)
frm2pl.pl (perl errors)
mousemove.pl (crashes)
nemtimer.pl (perl errors)
pmx.pl (crashes)
pride.pl (crashes)
progressbar.pl (perl errors)
testfield.pl (crashes)
vmeta.pl (perl errors)
winppm.pl (perl errors)

I ran them as if I was a new user. By double clicking, or from the command
line.

Cheers,

jez.
