tkdialog wrapper problem

[Ferenc Engard]

Hi all,

As many of my messages are sent to the newgroup, and didn't reach the
mailing list, I repost them. Sorry if some of you have seen them
already.

The TkDialog's constructor do not accept a parent widget, as every other
TkWindow descendant do (through TkWindow's constructor).

This is a problem, as it seems that if I have multiple toplevels, and
show a dialog, the dialog's parent widget (currently, always '.') will
be raised. So, showing a dialog from a form will raise another form! :-(

Maybe, for backward compatibility (but not for sanity), the parent could
be TkDialog.initialize()'s 2nd, optional argument? Or should I complain
on the tcl list? :)

Bye,
Ferenc

Thank you for your report.
I edited tkdialog.rb and committed.

Does it satisfy you? :-)

By all means, thanks a lot! :-))) Anyway, it look like a bit
incompatible from the previous version. Isn't it dissatisfy some people?

Please tell me the incompatible case.
Because I want to keep upper compatibility as far as I can.
