That change doesn't fix the problem for me. can you post the exact code you are using so I can confirm that I'm understanding what you say exactly. > > Of course I'm not as nearly into Win32::GUI programming > internals as you and probably most other members of this list are... so I > can only guess that using "TBSTATE_ENABLED" on a separator button causes the > toolbar sizing routines to *think* of it as a normal button with comparable > dimension needs and therefore to wrap this (imaginary and obviously not > displayed) space into the next line. As far as I am aware a 'button' of type TB_SEP should completely ignore the state, and it shouldn't make any difference what state you set. I can't see any difference myself. > Whatever the exact reason may be, the solution shown above seems to work. > Main conclusion: no bug to be eliminated... hooray! I don't think this is a bug in Win32::GUI - my gut feeling is that it is the behaviour of the underlying Win32 toolbar control, but I'd be interested in seeing a working solution.

Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] tutorials use strict? use warnings? globals? sender and eventargs? $self?

No "use strict" nor "use warnings". If you look at the tutorial demo code distributed with Win32::GUI (run win32-gui-demos from a cmd prompt) you'll see that it is all strict and warnings safe. There is a line to be drawn somewhere with respect to clarity of the documentation and 'correctness'. We'll never satify everyone with the style used, and so I have tried to err on the side of keeping the task at hand clear. This is not supposed to be a tutorial in good perl coding style, but a tutorial showing the Win32::GUI concepts. Patches are always welcome if you think you can make things clearer. > 2. The scripts used global variables to pass around references to the > windows, controls, etc.. Again, this is one possible style. Possibly not a good one, but it makes it very clear what is being done. I didn't write the tutorials, but have inherited their maintainance based on the lack of anyone else willing to do it. Again, patches welcome. > 3. There were no sender or eventargs arguments. Before this email I wasn't even aware what these things were. Remember this is Perl, not some MS language, so you shouldn't expect the idioms to be the same. There is more than enough support within Win32::GUI to provide an interface like this if you'd like to invest the time in creating all the necessary objects, but there will be a speed and memory hit from doing so (although it's probably not very significant). I think, more importantly, the procedural interface with the parameters decoded is more familiar to perl programmers. > (Not even a $self arg?) RTFM, I don't see them either. You probably want to read about the differences between the OEM and NEM event models (although there's not much in the docs, the samples provide quite a lot of material, as does searching the list archives). > Am I missing something?

If the other replies have not helped you find the right direction, then please post back and we'll see what we can do to help you - there's nothing very hard if you're familiar with perl (and, in some cases, the Win32 API).

When I get time I will look at integrating your changes into the main codebase. Are you having any troubles once you have made these changes, as I know there are many place where pointer are stored in DWORDs and LONGs (or at least cast through them), which I would have though would cause problems on Win64??

This is the mailing list for the Win32::GUI package, not
Win32::PerfLib. Win32::PerfLib is a part of libwin32. The README
for libwin32 says:
: Welcome to libwin32 version 0.28.
:
: All discussion of development / maintenance of the libwin32 package
: should happen on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. You can
: subscribe by sending an empty email message to:
:
:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
:
: An NNTP archive of previous messages is available from:
:
: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.libwin32
:
: Please report any bugs or enhancement requests to the CPAN
: request tracker at:
:
: http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=libwin32
Can I suggest that you try there instead.
Regards,
Rob.
