Ok, so I did some further investigation ;)
The patch as suggested in the comp.lang.tcl thread suggests to change the
lines
bInfo.ulFlags = BIF_EDITBOX | BIF_STATUSTEXT | BIF_RETURNFSANCESTORS
| BIF_VALIDATE;
in tkWinDialog.c into
bInfo.ulFlags = BIF_EDITBOX | BIF_STATUSTEXT | BIF_RETURNFSANCESTORS
| BIF_VALIDATE | BIF_USENEWUI;
Now I tried and downloaded the sources of both tk-8.5.6 and tk-8.5.10 and
compared the relevant sections of tkWinDialog.c . In 8.5.6 I found, as
expeceted, the first version of these lines.
Now the change they made in 8.5.10 actually looks like:
bInfo.ulFlags = BIF_EDITBOX | BIF_STATUSTEXT | BIF_RETURNFSANCESTORS
| BIF_VALIDATE | BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE;
So I guess that maybe winxp needs BIF_USENEWUI instead, just as you and
Jeff on c.l.t. suggested? I don't know anything about this, so I can just
guess that BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE might work for win7 but not for winxp ?
So I suggest that, if possible, you might change this line in the sources,
recompile tk and in case it works file a bug report to the tk developers.
Regards
Michael
