Well, in my main application I need dynamically destroy/create controls. But I was told to not use DestroyWindow, because Win32::GUI "correctly" destroys control when it goes out of scope. I decided to check how Win32::GUI destroys controls when they are out of scope and wrote an example below. I do not need workaround (I already have one), I need a confirmation if it is a bug or not (if not, then why the behavior is so strange?). Try to comment one of $main->AddLabel in Label_Click and everything will be ok. This is very strange behavior, I think.
It seems the program hangs in infinite loop invoking Win32::GUI::WindowProps::FETCH but I'm not yet digged deep enough to be 100% sure... -----Original Message----- From: "Ilya BANDORIN" <ilya.bando...@socgen.com> To: "perl-win32-gui-users" <perl-win32-gui-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Date: Thu, 24 Dec 2009 18:53:36 +0300 Subject: Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] label is not visible after recreating inevent > Probably because the control named "Label" is alredy defined in main code. > Why do you try to create it once more? > You should just modify its properties (text), something like this: > > $main->Label->Text(rand()); > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrey [mailto:war...@mail.ru] > Sent: Thursday, December 24, 2009 6:07 PM > To: perl-win32-gui-users > Subject: [perl-win32-gui-users] label is not visible after recreating inevent > > > While researching memory leak in Win32::GUI I found out strange behavior of > control. > > Here is an example: > > ===================== > use strict; > use Win32::GUI(); > > my $main = Win32::GUI::Window->new(-name => 'Main', -text => 'Perl', -width > => 200, -height => 200); > > $main->AddLabel(-name => "Label", -text => "Hello, world", -left => 20, -top > => 20, -notify => 1); > > sub Label_Click > { > { # "visibility" block > $main->AddLabel(-name => "Label", -text => rand(), -left => 20, -top => > 20, -notify => 1); > $main->AddLabel(-name => "Label", -text => rand(), -left => 20, -top => > 20, -notify => 1); > } > $main->AddLabel(-name => "Label", -text => rand(), -left => 20, -top => 20, > -notify => 1); > } > > $main->Show(); Win32::GUI::Dialog(); > > sub Main_Terminate { -1; } > ======================= > > When you click on "Hello, world" label it just disappears. > If you comment any of "$main->AddLabel" lines then everything will be OK. > Why label disappears? > > Perl version: 5.10.1 build 1006 > Win32::GUI version: 1.06 > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community > Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support > A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy > Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers > http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev > _______________________________________________ > Perl-Win32-GUI-Users mailing list > Perl-Win32-GUI-Users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/perl-win32-gui-users > http://perl-win32-gui.sourceforge.net/ > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community > Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support > A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy > Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers > http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev > _______________________________________________ > Perl-Win32-GUI-Users mailing list > Perl-Win32-GUI-Users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/perl-win32-gui-users > http://perl-win32-gui.sourceforge.net/ > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-GUI-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-GUI-Users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/perl-win32-gui-users http://perl-win32-gui.sourceforge.net/
