One reason might be that when you download the documentation, you find such gems as:

  • Under "Programming strategies" - "Strategies for reducing programming errors":

    Use ASSERT

    Although I haven't done this myself within wxWidgets, it is good practice to use ASSERT statements liberally,...

  • Under "Programming strategies" - "Strategies for debugging":

    Positive thinking It is common to blow up the problem in one's imagination, so that it seems to threaten weeks, months or even years of work....

  • Under "Topics overview" - "wxWidgets Hello World sample"
    // // file name: hworld.cpp // // purpose: wxWidgets "Hello world" // // For compilers that support precompilation, includes "wx/wx.h". #include "wx/wxprec.h" #ifdef __BORLANDC__ #pragma hdrstop #endif #ifndef WX_PRECOMP #include "wx/wx.h" #endif
  • Under "Topics overview" other subheads include "wxPython overview" & "Archive formats such as zip", but not a single mention of Perl or wxPerl.

    Even the contents page header is "wxWidgets 2.6.1: A portable C++ and Python GUI toolkit"

  • The first mention of Perl I found was under "Classes by category" - "wxTopLevelWindow" - "wxTopLevelWindow::GetIcon" where if found:
    • wxTopLevelWindow::GetIcon - wxPerl note: This method is not implemented in wxPerl
    • wxTopLevelWindow::GetIcons - wxPerl note: This method is not implemented in wxPerl
    • wxTopLevelWindow::GetTitle - wxPerl note: This method is not implemented in wxPerl
    • ...

At which point I decided whatever limitations of documentation Tk has, and they are myriad, at least most of it is a) relevant; b) mostly Perl related.


Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
