in thread Tk Drag and Drop Between Applications

Thanks for all your help Courage. I followed your instructions but I get these errors when I run the widget demo from Tcl::Tk...

Window

 perl.exe - Unable To Locate Component
The application has failed to start beceause tcl85.dll was not found. 
+ Re-installing the applicaion may fix this problem.

I've double checked the location of the dll and it matches what the console says is missing. However, the pop-up is asking for a different dll, which I don't have. I'll check out the group that you recommended. Thanks again.

    looks like I built Tcl.xs w/out Tcl stubs and it found tcl85.lib at that time. sorry
    Please try a bit different tcl.dll - from http://www.vkonovalov.ru/unicode/84/Tcl.dll

    BTW for my own application I tend to built entire tcl/tk into one large single dll, and will share that on the web afterwards...

      Thanks for the second dll. Unfortunately, it looks like it was from 0.81 (a prior build): 
      C:\DOCUME~1\nburger\Desktop\PERL&T~1\Tcl-Tk-0.84\tk-demos>perl widget
Tcl object version 0.81 does not match bootstrap parameter 0.84 at c:/

        Indeed.

        Sorry for inconvenience, (I switched to another box and it was tricky to check at that time)

        You can download it again from http://vkonovalov.ru/unicode/84-0.84/

        However 0.81 is what I currently use on my PC so if you'll just temporarily change version in Tcl.pm to 0.81 all should be good: 0.84 was immediately after 0.81 and probably there were only smal changes there

        Best regards,
        Courage, the Cowardly Dog
