Question on Wx modules

Hi!

I'm using "Wx::ActiveX::Acrobat" module. It needs "WxPerl" and
"WxWindows". I found "WxPerl" in SF.net and I could also install it
using command line ppm.

But when I list the installed modules using ppm again, I see only "Wx"
module installed! So.. is this right?

I couldn't find "WxWindows" module and was redirected to "WxWidgets",
is "WxWindows" module same as "WxWidgets"?

Thank you very much for help. :).

Yes wxWidgets is the same as wxWindows. You can download the source from
http://www.wxwindows.org/ which redirect to http://www.wxwidgets.org/.

But if you used a ppm to install Wx::ActiveX::Acrobat than you do not
need it. It is only needed if you have to compile Wx::ActiveX::Acrobat
on your own.

Reinhard

Thank you for clarification. Unfortunately I got further problems.

I installed the modules but apparently my installed
Wx::ActiveX::Acrobat module doesn't have "LoadFile()" method. When I
run my script, I get following error:

method <LoadFile> not found at C:/Perl/site/lib/Wx/ActiveX.pm line 26.

I checked cpan and it distinctly states following code:

use Wx::ActiveX::Acrobat ;
my $acrobat = Wx::ActiveX::Acrobat->new( $parent , -1 ,
wxDefaultPosition , wxDefaultSize );
$acrobat->LoadFile("./test.pdf");

The version in cpan is Wx-ActiveX 0.05, the same version I got from
SF.net. So I'm baffled. Thanks in advance for any help.

O ya sure, I got the source from here: http://sourceforge.net/project/show...?group_id=15655
, the module is Wx-ActiveX-0.059901-wxperl0.26-wxmsw2.6.2-5.8.6.zip

You can also get it from cpan: http://search.cpan.org/~gmpassos/Wx...iveX/Acrobat.pm
, they are same version 0.05 , this is where I saw the example.

I appreciate your effort.

It seems there are no methods defined for the module Wx::ActiveX::Acrobat.
If I call the sample than I get commenting out the pdf->LoadFile(..):
<EVENTS>
</EVENTS>
<PROPS>
</PROPS>
<METHODS>
</METHODS>

On the other samples a list of methods will be displayed. I think the
best is to contact the author of the module.
I am sorry I can't help.

regards,
Reinhard
