Win32::GUI - Perl Win32 Graphical User Interface Extension
use Win32::GUI();
Due to the volume of Win32::GUI documentation it is split into a number of different sections. The documentation is sparse in some areas, and incomplete in others. Patches are welcome. The documentation does not try to be a tutorial for Windows GUI programming, although the tutorial should give enough information for a beginner to get started. For advanced features knowledge of the Win32 API is assumed, and further information can be found from Microsoft's online resources (http://msdn.microsoft.com/).
There is a set of sample applications installed with
Win32::GUI, that should be found in the
.../Win32/GUI/demos/ directory under your library
installtion root (by default for ActiveState perl this
is at C:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/GUI/demos). There is
a viewer/launcher application installed as well. Type
win32-gui-demos
at a command prompt.
Release of Win32::GUI up to and including v1.03 export a large list of constants into the callers namespace by default. This behaviour is changed in releases from v1.04 and onwards.
From v1.04 the support for constants is provided by Win32::GUI::Constants, and the prefered way of getting constants exported into your namespace should be:
use Win32::GUI(); # Empty export list to prevent default exports use Win32::GUI::Constants qw( ... ) # explicitly list wanted constants
although, for backwards compatibility the following are also supported:
use Win32::GUI;
use warnings;
pragma or with
the -w
command line option to perl). In the future (v1.07 and later)
this syntax will stop exporting anything. v1.07 will generate a warning
that nothing is being exported. v1.08 will silently export nothing.
use Win32::GUI qw( ... );
Please see the v1.04 Release Notes for further information on backwards compatability and making old scripts work.
