Padre User Interaction in plugin

[bobuillean]

Folks,

I have a Padre plugin under construction that needs to get some user input. Is it as easy as:

use Wx::Perl::Dialog::Simple;
my $response = entry( 'title' => "What's yer poison");

?

If so why wouldn't this work?

sub menu_plugins_simple {
    my ($self) = @_;
    return $self->plugin_name() => [        
            'Add' => sub {  
               my $name = entry(title => "Cad an sceal?");
             },
    ];

}

The menu comes up OK in the Plugins menu but the 'Add' option does nothing.

Thanks in advance for any tips.

How does it fail for you?

Wow - quick response! Thanks.

Literally does nothing. I select the 'Add' option & nothing happens.

But I have figured something out - I have to qualify 'entry' with the package name (i.e. qw (entry) doesn't work). Works as expected after that.

Could be because I haven't restarted my laptop since I installed Padre this morning.

I'll check this out later.

It's nice to be back inside the gates - I haven't looked in for a good while. I'm sure I'll have some more idiot moments before too long.

Thanks again
