I just took a look at what we do in the linux/windows/tcl/tk app I work with.
It looks like when we create dialogs with tk_getOpenFile and friends, they are created with the proper parent *and that parent has the Tk application-level grab*. The result on Windows seems to be that Tk prohibits interaction with the other toplevel windows of the application, and Windows prohibits interaction with the parent window of the file dialog. Maybe this general arrangement will work for you. Jeff
