It's been a bit since I worked with Perl/Tk but I recall the Toplevel widget...
""" A toplevel is similar to a frame except that it is created as a top-level window: its X parent is the root window of a screen rather than the logical parent from its path name. The primary purpose of a toplevel is to serve as a container for dialog boxes and other collections of widgets. The only visible features of a toplevel are its background color and an optional 3-D border to make the toplevel appear raised or sunken.

I have a problem in MS Windows, the FileDialog window appears behind the parent window and is therefore partially or fully hidden. An annoyance to the user. The script must run on both UNIX and MSWindows platforms. I chose Tk::FileDialog because it worked the best on both platforms. The FileDialog window works fine in UNIX (ie. it shows up on top). Is there a better module to use that will work on both platforms? Does anyone know of a configure setting that will force the FileDialog window to the top? Sample code: my $Dir = $main->Frame(....); my $DirDialog = $Dir->FileDialog(-Title=>'A title', -Create=>0, -SelDir=>1); my $DirDialog->configure(-FPat=>'*', -ShowAll=>'NO'); my $DirName = $DirDialog->Show(-Path => $APathName); _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
