WxPerl make modal Frame - modal-dialog

I'm trying create modal window (wxFrame) in perl with xwPerl library (and WxWidget 3.0.2). Reason is, that is important for me to code will interrupt after window will be showed, until user close it. I found https://stackoverflow.com/a/2573660/5746693.
I would like use this code in in WxPerl library, but I have problem with using Wx::EventLoop class. It seems there is problem with loading this library. I didn't even find this class in WxWidget documentation. Sorry for probably stupid question.
Or is here some possibility to implement custom (with own controls in there) modal frame based on WxDialog class?
Thank for reply

If you need a modal window, use a wxDialog, not a wxFrame. Using the latter just doesn't make sense, the main difference between the two is that a dialog can be (and usually is) modal while the frame can't. Otherwise they are almost exactly the same.

How would one implement a sliding 2 button menu like this from Lift?

Can't post the image on the site but there it is.
I have been trying to find if this is a template or a separate nib file ala the page turn animation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
That is called a UIActionSheet. It is created entirely in code, so it's limited to some pretty simple stuff (i.e. a few buttons, one of which is the cancel button, and one of which can be marked "destructive"). Just consult the documentation for the UIActionSheet class; it tells you all there is to know about it.
Also, here's the discussion in my book:

How to know when a Gtk Window is fully shown?

I'd like to know which signal is emitted when a Gtk.Window is fully shown, with fully shown I mean the window itself is shown and its widgets too.
I tried several signals:
show
realize
visibility-notify-event
set_focus
but none of them works properly.
The only interesting answer I found on the web is this.
Connect a callback after the GtkWidget::draw signal (previously called expose in GTK+2).
Addendum
There is other stuff that comes into play: double buffering, client-side windows and (why not?) the fact that a widget can defer its drawing in an idle callback.
If you want to know when your main window appears the first time, it is far easier (and saner) add a g_idle_add after your show_all call.
It should be:
window.get_property("visible")
#Returns true if the window is visible

Prevent main form from appearing when showing another form

I am trying to bring my secondary form to the Foreground, however when I do
MyForm.Show; // It may be hidden, therefore show it first
SetForegroundWindow(MyForm.Handle);
my Main Form appears aswell. The only way I can prevent that is to do MainForm.Hide; but I got to avoid that.
The idea is to have my secondary form appear on top of another application, without my Main Form having to do so as well.
If you consider to make another application for this functionality, then you may also consider the following compromise: minimize the MainForm to the taskbar (rather than hiding it) to prevent it popping up when activating another form.
If so, then try this answer. It does add an extra icon to your taskbar for the secondary form, but I guess that'll be no problem since a different application would either. However, if the MainForm is nót minimized but obfuscated by other windows, activating the secondary form wíll also popup the MainForm, just like you are experiencing now.
And for the completeness of this answer's sake, but not by any means meant as advice: this answer describes a (somewhat experimental) construction to make fully independent windows. The little time I tested that solution, it seemed to work, but be prepared not counting any longer on the full/default functionality of the VCL.
Try settings the state of the form to fsAlwaysOnTop.

Create springboard like main view

Is there some sample code, or an easy way, to implement an application with as its first view something like Springboard?
What I am looking for is just a view with basic icons which after a tab on an icon tells the view-controller to push the view associated with the selected icon.
This in itself is not that difficult off-course (just putting images on a view), but is there an easy way to implement all the extra functionality as well (as e.g. moving the icons around (start 'vibrating' when when you push hold them), multiple pages etc.). The Facebook App seems to have this. It is probably not worth my while to write it myself, but it would be nice if there is something 'out of the box' to give the App a bit more of an iPhone feel.
Thanks in advance!
Facebook uses the Three20 library for its UI. The specific view used for the SpringBoard-like interface is known as TTLauncherView.
This is not an endorsement (I have yet to really check this out, and I may be too entrenched in using Three20 at this point to even bother), but here is another project that implements the springboard functionality: myLauncher on Github
You can use UICollectionView to create this
Look at this example

Programmatically Dismiss UIDocumentInteractionController OpenInMenu?

I am having much difficulty being able to dismiss (programmatically) my UIDocumentInteractionController's OpenIn Menu (Using the appropriate - dismissMenuWhatever method from the docs). I just can't seem to get it to work. Does anybody have any suggestions? Maybe I have an inadequate intelligence level? I am beginning to question the meaning of life.
make sure you are calling dimissMenuAnimated: on the right UIDocumentInteractionController. Maybe post some code if you still can't figure it out.
