Hi,
XP styles (as I understand it) is a separate "thing" from Win32::GUI and is 
controlled by a manifest file. This manifest file is included inside the exe by 
PerlApp. If you have a manifest file for Perl itself you'll get XP styles when 
you run your app via perl. Have a search on this list on how to do that (its 
simple - but I dont have the details to hand).
As for the tabstrip, I have seen this in the past and I've never found a 
solution to it (again, I dont think it's a Win32::GUI thing). The way I have 
got around this is to have a grey child window covering the while background, 
and add the controls to the child window. Works well...
Cheers,
Jeremy.

Subject: [perl-win32-gui-users] XP styles support -- when?
















Hello to everybody!

 

I'm just interested if dear developers have
any plans to introduce XP styles support to Win32::GUI?

Being compiled with ActiveState's PerlApp
the application runs with XP styles but tabstrip control drives me crazy because
all other controls being placed on the tabstrip still have gray background
while the tabstrip's background is different (white). Are there any _correct_
way to determine if XP styles are active and draw controls correctly?

 

Thank you in advance!

 

 

Regards, 

Ilya
