The standard IP Address control is not implemented in Win32::GUI - it's on the TODO list.
You might be able to do something clever with a single line Textfield, and catching all keystrokes, but it's probably quite hard.
Your best bet might be to have have 4 text boxes, separated with labels showing '.'.
I'm sure others will be able to make more helpful suggestions. Regards, Rob.
