Re: wxPerl and MacOS

The wxWidgets docs suggest that I should override Wx::App::MacOpenFiles but this function does not seem to be in wxPerl.

why do you say that? Add this to your program

  sub Wx::App::MacOpenFiles {
 die "@_" 
}

Sure, I can write the function, but it will not get called by the Wx framework...	[reply]

If the wxPerl XS bindings do not have that callback, then you will need to write a patch adding that binding. It should not be too hard — XS can also supply an empty default `Wx::App::MacOpenFiles` `sub` for the user to override, or accept a coderef to call when WxWidgets invokes the callback.

Yes, welcome to the world of monkey patching. Or as I now like to call it, monkey punching. For OP, what Anonymous Monk is suggesting is that you define the fully qualified method in your own code. Will this work? I have no idea. But it is a pointer in the right direction for where to stick the method you're claiming you can easily write.	[reply]
