in thread Listview with checkboxes is it possible ?

When I do the make dance, they do not get installed -- not good form.

TT2 has extra documentation and tutorials and stuff, and during the make process, they prompt and ask you if you wish to install these docs and where.

Also, Win32/GUI.pm does not contain any pod. In the least it should say (like the readme):

Win32::GUI is a Win32-platform native graphical user interface toolkit for perl. 
basically, it's an XS implementation of most of the functions found in 
user32.dll and gdi32.dll, with an object oriented perl interface and an 
event-based dialog model that mimic the functionality of visual basic.

I'm glad you asked.

update: Ideally, would copy all the *pod files in their appropriate spot under blib/lib/Win32/GUI, dynamically generating pod a pod file like win32gui.html (that neato indexed thing).

PS -- I use <READMORE></READMORE> tags.

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6x+5.8x. I take requests.

    good point. but I don't consider them part of the "released material" yet, because they're such a mess :-). remember that the whole Win32::GUI distribution is still marked as "beta test". in a next post, I hope to explain the history behind the Win32::GUI documentation as it is (and I hope to solicit some feedback on how to improve it :-).

    excellent point. this will be fixed in the next release, thank you!

    cheers,
