Dear Friends,

I have created a simple UI in my perl script with perl/Tk. All things works perfectly except one odd thing.

i.e.

I have used "getOpenFile" dialog box for prompting the file from user. In this I have made option for selecting two file types, say e.g. ".doc" and ".xls"

Default is ".doc"

In a selected folder, if I select the other file type, it will not show anything on the selected folder unless I pressed enter button, whereas, in Windows XP all other applications changes the folder view automatically as per the selected file types

What I have missed, please help me to fix this in my tool

My code is as follows:

    $xlsFileName = "";
    my @types = (["3d Files",'.3d'], ["Excel Files",'.xls'], ["All fil
+es", '*']);
    $xlsFileName = $mw->getOpenFile(-filetypes => \@types, -title=>'fi
+le to read', -initialdir => $xlsFileName);
    $mw->Unbusy;
    return 'Cancel' unless($xlsFileName);
    $message = "Selected File: $xlsFileName";
    $mw -> update;

Thanks in Advance
