Re: Re: Tk geometry function call

I tried this:

$Main->geometry(\?\+300,\+300\?);
[download]

However, this is what's returned to me:

search pattern not terminated at GUI.pl line 18
[download]

And when I put it in double quotes like this:

$Main->geometry("?+300,+300?");
[download]

I get this error:

bad geometry specifier "?+300,+300?" at C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/Submethod.
+pm line 37

What are all these question marks? This is not the format for a geometry in Tk. They usually look something like these: `$widget->geometry('640x480'); # Big as a VGA Screen $widget->geometry('+100+200'); # Slightly down to the right $widget->geometry('600x800+50+50'); # Big, out of corner` [download] And other variations. "perldoc Tk::Wm" for more details and options.	[reply] [d/l]
