Last year at some point I submitted a program I had
written. I have made some major overhauls in it and am pretty much leaving
it where it is unless I get more ideas for it. It includes a bunch of the
GUI objects in it.
Unfortunately due to te cablemodem upstream limitations of the owner
of this list I have to put the zip file on an ftp site. The ftp site is
141.195.50.3 and you must use port 5821. The login is "perlmonks" and the
password is "win32!gui" for anyone who would like to take a look at my
program. If you want me to e-mail it to you, I can do that also.
Just send me an e-mail and let me know.
All the files in the zip file must be placed in the
same directory except for Sender.pm. That file should go in
c:\Perl\lib\Mail (or similar on your hard drive).
I was bored at one point and put an "easter egg" in
the program so if you feel like searching for it go right ahead .. the result
will be a Hangman game that I wrote. it should be pretty easy to
figure out since you have the code right in front of you, but if you want the
secret to the easter egg let me know and I will be happy to tell
you.
You need to run the program with the '-t' flag or
you will get an Error Box saying that you could not connect to the
server. That message is fine and the program will still work but the '-t'
flag will prevent the error box from coming up, so you would type:
perl gatorbase.pl -t
Some things you should know ... if you click on a
column in the Detail view of the ListView object, the information will be sorted
ascending according to that column; clicking it again will sort it
descending. Double-clicking on any item in any of the views will bring up
all the information in an easy to read(?) window. You will achieve the
same results by right-clicking on the item and selecting
properties.
Thanks to everyone who helped me when I have posted
questions here.
If anyone has any comments, questions or
suggestion, please let me know. A good critique makes for a more efficent
program(mer)! ;]
