in thread TK - Best MainWindow management tips

Thanks! Although, on "make test" I get this error.

Makefile:644: *** missing separator. Stop.

Not being familiar with this install process I'm at a loss here. Any pointers? ... or else I'll have to research how to solve this problem. I'll also look more into the Win32::API. Thanks

    Maybe you need to use "nmake" or "dmake", depending on your perl version.

      Okay, using nmake worked.

      For anyone wanting to know, the documentation is then viewed by typing "perldoc win32util" at a command prompt.

      Also, I got the Win32Util function to doing a maximize and not going underneath the taskbar by doing:
      #!perl
use strict;
use Tk;
use Win32Util;
my $mw = new MainWindow;
my ($xx, $yy, $w, $h) = Win32Util::client_window_region($mw);
$mw->geometry($w.'x'.$h.'+0+0');
MainLoop;

        It's better to write $mw->geometry($w.'x'.$h."+$xx+$yy");, as the taskbar (or any other obscuring bar) may be on top or left of the screen.
