Restricting size (width) of getOpenFIle() dialog

| Hi,
I am using getOpenFile() to get a selected file. I set the initial
directory of getOpenFile() dialog to my CWD (current working
directory).
But, if my CWD is very long, eg. C:/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb/cccccccccccccccccccccc/dddddddddddddddd & so
on; the width of dialog get too long and is beyond screen size.
How can i restrict the width of the dialog to some fix value.
thanks,
Prashant

If you do not need the actual look of the default file dialog, then
you can try another one, e.g. Tk::FileSelect, Tk::FileDialog,
Tk::PathEntry or Tk::FBox. See the widget demonstration how to change
the default file dialog.
