Re^3: Google Translator -> wxPerl frontend

Update:
fixed the size of the frame by removing Min & Max buttons.. new code:

$style = wxCAPTION|wxCLOSE_BOX|wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR|wxCLIP_CHILDREN 
        unless defined $style;

Interesting enough upon testing the code on windows the first critical point disappeared and the application responses efficiently to requests; I was really impressed this seems to imply that the issue is ubuntu specific, did you notice that some applications like emesene quickly go to unresponsive mode and come back after few seconds?...
Also sortCombo working great in windows and the options are sorted alphabetically so this one also may be an ubuntu specific..
however windows wX raised unicode issues.. like the opposite of tk where it works pretty well on windows but on linux no luck with utf8ing the text ;) thanks

you can compile Wx with or without unicode, so that plays a part

If I understood you correctly .. I've tried http://www.wxperl.co.uk/repository/
where they say : Please note that these are Unicode PPMs. Old versions of ANSI PPMs for Microsoft Windows are still retained.
but the same problems persist.. thank you for your valuable comments.

Removing minimize/maximize/close buttons is cardinal sin, don't do that.

You were almost there
