NAME

Gnome2::PanelApplet - (DEPRECATED) Perl interface to GNOME's applet library

SYNOPSIS

  # Initialize.
  Gnome2::Program->init ('My Applet', '0.01', 'libgnomeui'
                         sm_connect => FALSE);

  # Register our applet with that bonobo thingy.  The OAFIID stuff is
  # specified in a .server file.  See
  # C<examples/GNOME_PerlAppletSample.server> in the
  # I<Gnome2::PanelApplet> tarball for an example.
  Gnome2::PanelApplet::Factory->main (
    'OAFIID:PerlSampleApplet_Factory', # iid of the applet
    'Gnome2::PanelApplet',             # type of the applet
    \&fill                             # sub that populates the applet
  );

  sub fill {
    my ($applet, $iid, $data) = @_;

    # Safety measure: if we're passed the wrong IID, just return.
    if ($iid ne 'OAFIID:PerlSampleApplet') {
      return FALSE;
    }

    # Gnome2::PanelApplet isa Gtk2::EventBox, so it isa Gtk2::Container
    # in particular.  That means we can call add() on it.
    my $label = Gtk2::Label->new ('Hi, there!');
    $applet->add ($label);
    $applet->show_all;

    return TRUE;
  }

ABSTRACT

This module has been deprecated by the Gtk-Perl project. This means that the module will no longer be updated with security patches, bug fixes, or when changes are made in the Perl ABI. The Git repo for this module has been archived (made read-only), it will no longer possible to submit new commits to it. You are more than welcome to ask about this module on the Gtk-Perl mailing list, but our priorities going forward will be maintaining Gtk-Perl modules that are supported and maintained upstream; this module is neither.

Since this module is licensed under the LGPL v2.1, you may also fork this module, if you wish, but you will need to use a different name for it on CPAN, and the Gtk-Perl team requests that you use your own resources (mailing list, Git repos, bug trackers, etc.) to maintain your fork going forward.
