Missing Scrollbars in Tk 804.028-1

tevlin has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

I've installed (cygwin) Tk 804.028-1.
Now I never get any scrollbars displayed.

The following simple example works on works on Solaris Tk 5.00404 (I see a scrollbar).

On Cygwin Tk 804.028-1, no scrollbar, never.

use Tk;

$top = MainWindow->new();
$lb  = $top->Scrolled('Listbox', -scrollbars=>'e', -label=>'Test')->pa
+ck(-side=>left, -expand=>1, -fill=>'both');
foreach $line (1..50) {$lb->insert('end', "This is line $line")}
MainLoop();

Any help?

Does the program compile and the list gets populated? you may need to rule out if the Tk version is compatible to the perl compiler version, see the ptk faqs list. Excellence is an Endeavor of Persistence. Chance Favors a Prepared Mind.	[reply] [d/l]
