Tk::Wizard - Wizard GUI Framework ================================= IMPORTANT CHANGE(S) FROM PREVOUS VERSION(S) * Version 2.131 moved some methods to new modules to keep in line with the original ethos as outlined in the POD. This should have no practical effect until verseion 3.00 but pleaes read the documentation for the "import" method for further details/ * As of Tk::Wizard version 2.044 (distribution version 2.111), the -width and -height arguments to blank_frame() are applied to the CONTENT AREA ONLY, not to the entire Wizard window. Look-up the Martin Thurn's Tk::Wizard::Sizer module (included with this distro) to semi-automatically recalculate what you should pass in the -width and -height arguments. INSTALLATION This module can be installed in the normal perl way, such as: perl -MCPAN -e "install Tk::Wizard" or, unpack the archive and in the new folder execute the following: perl Makefile.PL make all test make install If you are on Windows you might have to use nmake instead of make. If you set environment variable TEST_INTERACTIVE to any non-zero value, most of the tests will pause and you will have to click the "Next" button several times to get through them. DESCRIPTION In the context of this namespace, a Wizard is defined as a graphical user interface (GUI) that presents information, and possibly performs tasks, step-by-step via a series of different pages. Pages (or 'screens', or 'Wizard frames') may be chosen logically depending upon user input. The "Tk::Wizard" module automates a large part of the creation of a wizard program to collect information and then perform some complex tasks based upon it. The wizard feel is largly based upon the Microsoft(TM,etc) wizard style: the default is similar to that found in Microsoft Windows 95; a more Windows 2000-like feel is also supported (see the "-style" entry in "WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS".) Subclassing the module to provide different look-and-feel is highly encouraged: please see "NOTES ON SUB-CLASSING Tk::Wizard". AUTHOR Lee Goddard (lgoddard@cpan.org) based on work Daniel T Hable.
