Re: [Pmw-general] tkFileDialog Question

[Dean N. W. <wil...@ll...>]

Hi Greg,

    Thanks for responding back to my question....

    Still no luck. I get the same results as .interior(). The 
tkFileDialog is appearing in from of the top level parent Frame instead 
of the Pmw.Dialog.

    If I replace tkFileDialog with Pmw.Dialog, then the Pmw.Dialog 
widget appears in front of the correct Pmw.Dialog widget.

    What is different between tkFileDialog and Pmw.Dialog? One works and 
the other doesn't as expected.

Thanks again for your help.

Best regards,
    Dean
