Re: wxPerl: Wx::DatePickerCtrl working, Wx::TimePickerCtrl failing? (bug)

in reply to wxPerl: Wx::DatePickerCtrl working, Wx::TimePickerCtrl failing?

congratulations, you've found a bug

According to http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classwx_time_picker_ctrl.html that module is only available since 2.9.3

However this works (the bug part) on earlier versions

$ perl -MWx=:allclasses -le " print Wx::TimePickerCtrl->new "
Wx::TimePickerCtrl=HASH(0x3fa184)

$ perl -MWx -le " print join q/ /, $Wx::VERSION, Wx::wxVERSION_STRING 
+"
0.9918 wxWidgets 2.8.12
[download]

But if you provoke usage you'll see the bug part

$ perl -MWx=:allclasses -le " print Wx::TimePickerCtrl->new( (undef) x
+ 33 ) "
Usage: Wx::Window::newFull(CLASS, parent, id = wxID_ANY, pos = wxDefau
+ltPosition, size = wxDefaultSize, style = 0, name = wxPanelNameStr) a
+t -e line 1.
[download]

The cause of the bug is inheritance

perl\vendor\lib\Wx\Calendar.pm
33:package Wx::TimePickerCtrl;  @ISA = qw(Wx::Control);
[download]

That part should be conditional, like this package Wx::TimePickerCtrl; Wx::wxVERSION() >= 2.009003 and @ISA = qw(Wx::Control);

Naturally, wxperl_usage / wxperl-usage / wxPerl::Usage / Class Method Browser , available methods, method invocation syntax, link to docs doesn't list it as available :)
