Toolbar Wrapping

OS: Windows

Komodo is a great product.

One feature that annoys me is the fact that if I have too many buttons, the remaining buttons disappear. The toolbar used to wrap. Two ideas to fix this situation:

Allow toolbars to wrap.
Allowing for multiple rows of toolbars, allow users to put toolbars where ever they want.

Thank you.

Which PDK on Windows 7 to generate 32-bit PerlApps

OS: Windows

I will be moving to a new Dell Latitude D830 with 4GB of ram later this week. I had hoped to install the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

But before I do, I need to know if I can create 32-bit executables with PerlApp while running the 64-bit version of ActivePerl and PDK. Or, do I need to install the 32-bit version of ActivePerl and PDK on the 64-bit Windows 7 machine to create thee 32-bit executables with PerlApp.

I ask because almost all of our customers are running our software on 32-bit Windows and I will need to compile our programs for them, not for my own use on my 64-bit platform.

30 seconds to debug or bust

OS: Windows

I just got remote debugging to work on my Windows Server 2008. Locally I am running Komodo IDE 5.1.3, PHP version is 5.2.9-1 using the non-thread-safe xdebug for php 5.2 from xdebug.org .

Running under IIS, I have approximately 30 seconds to complete my debug session before I get a 500 Internal Server error. It matters not a whit where in the current PHP file I am, I really believe it is a server-side timeout. The IIS connection timeout is set to 120 seconds. I'm definitely not getting anywhere near that much time.

The Komodo pystderr.log has only this:

PerlSvc prevent stop

OS: Windows

I am wanting to create a Windows service using PerlSvc which has the stop option disabled (similarly to the way many AV products set their services).

I found the following article from MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9k985bc9(VS.80).aspx) which describes setting "CanStop" to false for a VB service to stop it being stopped.

Is there something similar I can do with PerlSvc. I tried sending it the option 'CanStop' but just got the message "Unknown service parameter 'CanStop'".

Any ideas?

Thanks. Matt

Help for python code to generate combination lists

OS: Windows

hi,
I am trying to do some combination study. I have saw some codes on permutations and combination.
But for all those programs input is a single list. I am trying to make combination from 4 lists.
I have input 4 lists. Now I want to generate several combination lists. Example output is given below
Hope some one can help me to generate such output. Thanks in advance.
Input Lists:
list1 = [1,2]
list2 = [A,B,C]
list3 = [X,Y]
list4 = [M,N,O]
Output Combination lists:
[1,A,X,M]
[1,A,X,N]
[1,A,X,O]
[1,A,Y,M]
[1,A,Y,N]
[1,A,Y,O]
[1,B,X,M]
[1,B,X,N]
[1,B,X,O]
[1,B,Y,M]

Win32/Perl/Tkx - Event - Closing/Shutdown/Etc

OS: Windows

I am converting a vb project to perl/tkx...

Under vb, there is a 'Form_QueryUnload' event, which is raised by the os, and the reason/context is reported to the event handler as an argument to the event response call. Some of the items are due to:
-MSWindows is shutting down
-TaskMgr is closing app
-Form is closing due to parent closing
etc.

What are these events in Perl/Tkx?

For example, suppose the user clicks on the X in the upper right window corner, instead of menu-select-exit.

I need to be able to capture this event to save and close application _nicely_.

Drag n Drop on EXE

OS: Windows

I am a Perl and PDK newbie. When I create an EXE with the PDK, how do I get the file(s) that are dragged and dropped onto the EXE. In other words, I want to process these files inside my Perl script. Any advice or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.

Cannot edit files on Windows 7

OS: Windows

Hi,

I've tried both release 7000 and 7100 (RC) versions of Windows 7 and I cannot get Komodo Edit to actually edit files!

I had to change the properties of the icon to run as administrator to even get into Komodo but every time I try to open a file for editing (no matter what type of file), Komodo Edit just crashes.

Here is the build information from the About dialog:

Komodo Edit, version 5.1.3, build 3592, platform win32-x86.
Built on Wed Apr 29 18:31:29 2009.

Any ideas anyone?

Active TCL support for Windows server 2008 R2 Datacenter

OS: Windows

Hi,
I am trying to install ActiveTcl in "Windows server 2008 R2 Datacenter" and expect package version 5.43.

When I do tclsh and then "package require Expect" it shows Expect package version as 5.43 which is correct.But when I do "Spawn cmd" it returns a return code plus an error message as "Tclsh application has encounter an error. windows is tring to fix it".After some time the popup closes and comes out of the tclsh % prompt.

I have tried with following packages still everywhere it shows same error:
ActiveTcl8.3.4.4-win32-ix86.exe
ActiveTcl8.4.19.1.286921-win32-ix86-threaded.exe

PPM Profile with Perl 5.8.8

OS: Windows

I am looking to upgrade from Perl 5.8.8 to either Perl 5.8.9 or more likely Perl 5.10.0. Following the ActivePerl 5.10.0.1004 Installation Guide (http://docs.activestate.com/activeperl/5.10/install.html#upgrade)I installed PPM::Profile and attempted to run ppmprofile.

I got the following error message:
C:\Perl\site\bin/ppmprofile.bat save is not supported for PPM4 yet at C:\Perl\site\bin/ppmprofile.bat line 94.

So given that I have PPM4 how do I go about saving my profile of all the modules I've installed (numbering 256 currently)?
