I been trying to create Perl GUI using Tkx but I'm having trouble with a couple of issues.
i have been looking at these sites:
http://rainbow.ldeo.columbia.edu/documentation/tkperl/
http://docs.activestate.com/activetcl/8.5/tcl/tk_contents.htm
http://www.tkdocs.com/tutorial/onepage.html
But the problem is that the examples do not seem to be working for me.
I want to use an Object oriented approach as much as possible, but without using moose(for now) so i can get my head around how objects work in Perl.
Edit: link to a good oo tutorial
So I can already create a window:
sub main
{
my $mainWindow = Tkx::widget->new(".");
$mainWindow->g_wm_title("FixViewer");
$mainWindow->g_wm_minsize(400,500);
Tkx::MainLoop();
}
How do I create a frame and put a Gridlayout on it?
Would someone be able to show me how, or link me to a good tutorial.
Thanks
use strict;
use warnings;
use Tkx;
sub main
{
my $mainWindow = Tkx::widget->new(".");
$mainWindow->g_wm_title("FixViewer");
$mainWindow->g_wm_minsize(100,100);
my $contentFrame = $mainWindow->new_ttk__frame(-padding => "3 3 12 12");
$contentFrame->g_grid(-column => 0, -row => 0, -sticky => "nwes");
$mainWindow->g_grid_columnconfigure(0, -weight => 1);
$mainWindow->g_grid_rowconfigure(0, -weight => 1);
my $input;
my $output;
#create a textbox where user can enter input
my $inputbox = $contentFrame->new_ttk__entry(-width => 7, -textvariable => \$input);
$inputbox->g_grid(-column => 1, -row => 1, -sticky => "we");
#create a lable which shows whatever is input in the input box
my $inputlabel = $contentFrame->new_ttk__label(-textvariable => \$output);
$inputlabel->g_grid(-column => 1, -row => 2, -sticky => "we");
#create a button and bind a sub to it
my $button = $contentFrame->new_ttk__button(-text=> "Click me",-command=> sub {dostuff(\$output,\$input);} );
$button->g_grid(-column => 1, -row => 3, -sticky => "w");
#bind return key to method, so method will get called when key is hit
$mainWindow->g_bind("<Return>",sub {dostuff(\$output,\$input);});
Tkx::MainLoop;
}
sub dostuff
{
my $output = shift;
my $input = shift;
$$output = $$input;
}

# Call main #
&main();

I managed to kinda figure some stuff out. More examples or links to tutorials are still very welcome
my $contentFrame = $mainWindow->new_ttk__frame(-padding => "3 3 12 12");
$contentFrame->g_grid(-column => 0, -row => 0, -sticky => "nwes");
$mainWindow->g_grid_columnconfigure(0, -weight => 1);
$mainWindow->g_grid_rowconfigure(0, -weight => 1);
