fbp2pm

fbp2pm converts a wxFormBuilders [1] save file (fbp-file) to a perl module (pm-file) using FBP::Perl [2]. fbp2pm distinguishes between dialogs and frames and runs on the command line.

1. http://search.cpan.org/~adamk/FBP-Perl-0.78/lib/FBP/Perl.pm

Usage:

fbp2pm.pl dialog|frame [name] [filename]

• [name] is the name of the dialog/frame as set in the wxFormBuilder object properties,
• [filename] is the name of the FBP file and will be the name of the perl module.

Example:

fbp2pm.pl frame main main.fbp

Opens main.fbp, converts the frame called main and stores the resulting perl code in main.pm.

Bugfix:

When using a Wx::DatePickerCtrl FBP::Perl will die generating the perl code, stating the use of that control is not supported. To fix this, you have to comment out line 1168 of perl5/lib/perl5/FBP/Perl.pm like so:

# die "Wx::DatePickerCtrl is not supported by Wx.pm";

And as the date picker control does not only depend on Wx::DateTime (which is taken care of by FBP::Perl correctly) but on Wx::Calendar as well, the according use statement has to be added to the perl code after generation:

use Wx::Calendar;
