1. I need help.
I am almost done with a game I am programming. There are a couple
problems though. Can you help me? The program uses win32lib.
1) How do I make a window resize in my program code?
2) How do I make the text on the status bar change?
Also, when I run any win32lib application, there is one row of
pixels below the menus that let you see what was behind the window when
it was made. Is this a win32lib bug?

Try the routine ...
setRect( mywindow, left, top, width, height, True )
> 2) How do I make the text on the status bar change?
The routine setText() will do this.
Eg.
setText(statbar, "This is the new message")

I've never seen this nor has this been reported before. What version of the
library are you using and what version of Windows does it happen on?

I have no answer to this problem. I don't see it on my Windows Me or Win2000
systems. However, Wolf Fritz also reported a very similar issue with the
getOpenFileName() call. If anyone can come up with something I'd be glad to
hear it.

I have seen the same problem with EuWinGUI on WinXP Home Edition, so it
could be a bug in Windows rather than a bug in Win32lib.

I have no answer to this problem. I don't see it on my Windows Me or
Win2000
systems. However, Wolf Fritz also reported a very similar issue with
the
getOpenFileName() call. If anyone can come up with something I'd be
glad to
hear it.

5. Re: I need help.
The problem appears to happen on some complex, and a few not so complex
window setups. The problem was actually caused by the Windows GUI version on
EXW. I have just tested this by running the IDE, and a simple test program.
If the GUI version was set to 3.1, then the line would appear under the
menu, sometimes quite big. But if you changed it to 4.0, then the line would
go away. So, it does have something to do with Windows, but we can fix it at
least.
