Code to Save a Form before closing
Hello,
I have written a VB program (VB 6.0) that is basically a GUI for the user to select from various buttons to run other executable files (which I wrote in Perl). When the Perl executable is complete it writes the results to MS Excel. So back to the VB GUI, I have a second form (Form2) where the user can go and select one of the excel reports and open it to view.
I’ve written the code in VB so that when the user initially... -
bdunnells, i truly apologize! i have not been logged on to this account for a long while (i've been on other projects), and i did not know you sent the question. you may not need the answer now, but someone else might need it so here it is: i installed Perl 5.8.8 Build 822 and installed Win32-GuiTest-1_50.5.zip. This worked for me.Leave a comment:

Dynamic Link Library p2x588.dll
Well, i just figured out a solution. For those who are interested...i installed an earlier build of Perl. I got the error message when iused Perl 5.8.8 ActivePerl Build 824 (287188). Now it works with Perl 5.8.8 ActivePerl Build 822 (280952).Leave a comment:

Dynamic Link Library p2x588.dll
Hello all,
I have written a perl script and would like to convert it to an executable file. i am using perl2exe. the version of perl is 5.8.8 on Windows XP. it converts fine from script.pl to script.exe. however, when i run script.exe, i get the following message:
'The procedure entry point Perl_newSVpvn_f lags could not be located in the dynamic link library p2x588.dll.'
i've been trying to find literature... -
Problem solved. after lot more research, i found that for some reason installing Win32-GuiTest using PPM on the ActivePerl 5.10 version does not work. i unistalled this version and installed ActivePerl 5.8.8 and it worked!Leave a comment:

Installing Win32-GuiTest Module
Good morning all,
I had to reinstall Perl (ActivePerl 5.10.0 Build 1004) on my computer (Windows XP), the install went fine. however, I'm having issues loading Win32-GuiTest using the repository in PPM. the steps i took are:
1. saved Win32-GuiTest-1.50.5.zip from the search.cpan.org website
2. unzipped in the location c:/Perl/Win32-GuiTest
3. opened the PPM window and went to Edit-Preferences and clicked the... -
Thanks! I'll take a look at this!

thanks for your input. however, CTRL-C only works if i run it as a Perl script (*.pl). if i convert it to an executable (*.exe), CTRL-C doesn't work.Leave a comment:

Easy way for user to kill an executable file?
i have created an automation program using Perl (Win32). i converted the perl script to an executable file. what i would like to do is have a way for the user to easily kill the executable file if necessary. for instance, have a button somewhere on the desktop that they can just click it and the executable will stop. Or inset some lines of code that would specify a 'button' sequence that the user can press on the keyboard that would trigger the... -
Convert an automation into MPEG
I have written an automation using Perl (Win32). in a nutshell, it's layered on top of another software and the perl script manipulates the other software's windows and menus by moving around the mouse and automating keyboard strokes, etc. What if i wanted to capture this automation and put it into an mpeg file. is this possible? -
Thank you so much HTH!! The error handler works great!

Excel File Doesn't Exist
Hello all,
I am new at VB6, but the more i learn, the more i love it! But i do have a question. I've created a form, the user has to choose an excel file from a list that they want to open, when they highlight the file name, the directory path shows up in another label box; then the user clicks the Open button to actually open the excel file for viewing. But what if the file doesn't exist yet? How do i add to my IF/Then statement a controlled... -
Thanks Kevin, this is where the root of my question is...how do i associate the .pl with the perl executable when i just doubleclick to run it?
i know how to make the dos window go away while the script is running. i will use the following two lines:
...Code:my $hw = Win32::GUI::GetPerlWindow(); Win32::GUI::Hide($hw);

perl.exe vs. cmd.exe
A few days ago, i was trying to make my perl script an executable (with no success). but that's not the direction of my question (at least not right now).
Once i stopped trying to make the executable work, i ran my perl script as a perl script (*.pl), but now when the console window comes up when it runs, i noticed that it's running through C:\Windows\syst em32\cmd.exe instead of C:\Perl\bin\per l.exe...which is causing the script... -
GUI Window Icon
Hello all,
I have created a GUI box using Win32::GUI::Win dow and all i want to do is add a question mark icon in the window on the left, but i'm having trouble figuring that out. i know that using Win32::GUI::Mes sageBox has options that you can use such as MB_ICONQUESTION , MB_ICONEXCLAMAT ION, etc, but i don't see anything for Win32::GUI::Win dow. Any suggestions?
Here is part of my code. the second window is the one that i... -
I've been researching the 'File Error: data may have been lost', and it looks as though this is a known issue with Spreadsheet::Wr iteExcel that happens on certain versions of Microsoft Excel. From what i read it's on the excel end not the Perl end. Don't know what the fix is yet.Leave a comment:
