Perl-TK vs Perl-Win32-GUI

[jsteng]

I have always been using Perl TK for GUI applications. But recently, I hit a wall trying to implement a ListView functionality. TK-Table works but very slow; I still have yet to try MColumn.

AutoIt uses Win32 GUI; I tried their Listview and it was substantially faster, and quality was better. Must I switch to Perl Win32-GUI instead of Perl TK? Is Win32-GUI superior than TK? What are the PROs and CONs of each module? For one, I like TK because it has good documentations.

My requirement: Ability to list text in single to multiple columns/scrollable multiple rows; ability to bind mouseclicks and keyboard presses and highlight, change color/font selected/pointed items.

Thanks.

I managed to write the routine using Pane, Frame and Labels to create multi-column listview with Perl TK.
I got satisfactory performance out of it - at par with Win32-GUI's ListView, but easier to manage.

Happy to know TK is capable.
