Re^4: Tk multiple monitor problem

I did look at DialogBox.pm and a few others. This is why I feld that probably the Show routine was at fault. I did not know where to find Popup till your message, however. In Wm.pm I now see it. Indeed, this part of it would appear to cause the problem.

    # adjust to not cross screen borders
    if ($X < 0) { $X = 0 }
[download]

Unfortunately, when I change this line my code runs the same. So I'm mystified.

Also in Wm.pm I noted the Post routine. It contains this.

    $w->geometry("+$X+$Y");
    # $w->MoveToplevelWindow($X,$Y);
[download]

I'm guessing that the commented out MoveToplevelWindow call was replaced by the one to geometry (which works OK on multiple monitors).

Thanks for the leads, however. :)

Just curious -- I take it the 'withdraw' does not work? Elda Taluta; Sarks Sark; Ark Arks My deviantART gallery	[reply]

I'm not sure what 'withdraw' you are talking about.	[reply]

In Re^3: Tk multiple monitor problem about a third of the way down the code is a $mw->withdraw. It's used to hide what you are working on until you are ready to display it. Something like: `$mw->withdraw # Do all your GUI creation stuff here $mw->deiconify; # Not sure if this is needed (maybe only with X) $mw->raise;` [download] I had assumed you had tried that, but now it sounds like maybe not. Or maybe it's mroe of an X-Windows thing. Elda Taluta; Sarks Sark; Ark Arks My deviantART gallery	[reply] [d/l]
