Thanks Steve; I've already downloaded the tutorial and it is incomplete. If I remember correctly, it is replicated in CPAN and JEB. So they have been tried also. The material in JEB, dada, and CPAN which represents each of the GUI modules is in similar fashion incomplete, so that has also been tried. The examples contain deprecated features (see below) although this group and others have indicated that this may be addressed and solved in the future.
Anyplace that I've missed? I have tried www.bribes.org and ActiveState to see if they have some information, and I have used GOOGLE. No luck. art -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Lloyd, Steve" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Go to http://search.cpan.com > Search for Win32::GUI > Click on it and select the Win::32::Tutorial > http://search.cpan.org/~robertmay/Win32-GUI-1.02/docs/GUI/Tutorial.pod > > > Steve Lloyd > http://www.basgetti.com > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, July 25, 2005 9:09 AM > To: perl-win32-gui-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [SPAM] - [perl-win32-gui-users] Help My GUI, please - Email > found in subject > > > Ok, I'm not an expert.
