Re^2: Win32 GUI - Problem with text input field

Win32::GUI is a dead end, hasn't been updated in forever

Sounds like from your post that you have a long list of reasons for not liking Win32::GUI. However, just wanted to point out that it looks like there's been 2 new version releases of Win32::GUI in the past 7 days according to its change log. Of course, that's about 4 months after the date of your post.

Doubt that this new information will change your opinion about using Win32::GUI, but for those looking for help with Win32::GUI and come across this thread, they probably would appreciate knowing that the module is being actively maintained with fairly recent updates.

dasgar, first release since the seven years since the last time Win32::GUI was abandoned, even microsoft is not pushing MFC anymore Adding compiler fixes, and applying five year old patches isn't exactly what I would call "actively maintained" -- its getting some love and that is a good thing Single-platform toolkits just are not appealing ( even KMX knows, he releases IUP ) but if are making money on Win32::GUI, great :)	[reply]
