Dialog box and modality.
|
|
|
| Sounds like a research paper.
Apparently there is no way, at least with my documentation, of making a
dialog box appear in a specific place. It would seem that they alway
center themselves on the screen.
So, making my own dialog box out of a standard frame I come up to the
problem of how to make the widget modal. In fact there is not even a
modal listing in the indexes of my books. Is the modal state called
something else in TK?
Anybody know?
Thanks
Shive

See if this works. If not, can you upgrade? Tk::DialogBox and
Tk::Dialog were improved at some point to accept Tk::Popup options.
See Tk::Popup pod if you can.
use Tk;
use Tk::Dialog;
my $mw = tkinit;
$mw->Dialog(-popanchor => 'nw', -overanchor => 'nw')->Show;
MainLoop;

| Thanks to both of you. Those posts got me back in the game.
The *anchor options are interesting, even if I don't quite understand the
way they are working at the moment.
And I never even heard of "grab" but at least my book has.
Interesting...
