I have written Tkx application and everything works great except the tk_getOpenFile and tk_getSaveFile widgets. The only problem with them appears to be the ability to re-size them. This re-sizing issue appears to be a known issue that is over a year old. So, I started looking at alternatives and I thought about using the Win32::FileOp file dialog widgets. I was able to get them to work, but the problem I have is if I drag the dialog window across the main Tkx window I get the window trails left on the main Tkx window. The trails remain until I "close" the Win32::FileOp file dialog window. Right now my work around is to "iconify" the main Tkx window before displaying the Win32::FileOp file dialog window and then once the Win32::FileOp window is closed I then "deiconify" the main Tkx window. I was wondering if anyone knew how to eliminate the window trails when I drag the window? Or does anyone know when and if they fixed the tk_getOpenFile and tk_getSaveFile widgets? Or maybe some one has another Tkx related solution for these 2 widgets.

Thanks, gary
