I agree. Maybe we don't want to take on the task of explaining GUI
programming from scratch!
1. The equivalent of "Hello World", other than making sure the
installation is OK, does very little to knowing how to write a
real-world GUI application. Therefore, examples must be quite
elaborate because in my very little experience with wxPerl, the
problem was not with the buttons, the check boxes and the radio
selection. It was how to combine them.
While the "Hello World" bit doesn't do much, the bit that will go
something like:
package App;
use base 'Wx::App';
sub OnInit {
my( $self ) = shift;
my $frame = Frame->new();
$self->SetTopWindow($frame);
$frame->Show(1);
}
package main;
my $app = App->new();
$app->MainLoop;
1;
is quite important, and maybe it's this section we should concentrate on
here. Why do we need OnInit? Can we over-ride MainLoop?
What happens if we drop ->Show()?
What other options go here?
1. I would like to see a "Gotchas" as the last chapter, of /every
/part, regarding the topics in it. I am sure that many people are
falling to the same holes, and without help, it will take them too
long to crawl out of them...
What does Gotchas mean? Is it common problems or misunderstanding or is
it troubleshooting?
Regards
Steve.
