Barring anybody else having one... Several things you can try: - Update to the current Tk (8.4.9). (You could search the tk bug database first.) - Roll your own dialog box. How are you creating it anyway? tkMessageBox? There are some "interesting" differences between Tkinter's dialog boxes and the code suggested in Welch's "Practical Programming in Tcl and Tk". I don't remember the details at the moment, but after running into nasty problems with tkSimpleDialog.askfloat I ended up writing my own dialog boxes*, mostly following Welch but with a few changes that proved desirable for MacOS X aqua. -- Russell *RO.Wdg.InputDialog in the RO package <http://www.astro.washington.edu/rowen/ROPython.html>. You would probably need to make a few changes for a message-only dialog box. _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list Tkinter-discuss@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
