positioning tk_getOpenFile dialog
|

| Hi all,
What is the option to display the tk_getOpenFile dialog at location
x,y in Tcl/Tk8.5.0?. With Tcl/Tck8.4.13, this would be given using "
-x <xlox>" and "-y <yloc>"
(even though it is not documented).
But in Tcl/Tk8.5.0, giving -x and -y options throws the error that it
is not a valid option. Is there a way to give the position one wants
to display the dialog at?
Thanks in advance,
Mona.

I didn't know about that! Which platform?

Officially, we only support "associating" the dialogs with another
widget (via the -parent option), and not fine positioning.

Both Windows and all UNIX platforms. This worked in tcl/tk8.4.13.
In tcl/tk8.5.0, the dialog always comes up on the left screen corner.

| Alright, never mind. This is something we added a while back to the
tcl code.
Thanks.
