Bug with frames in tk4.0?
I ran into a funny problem with tk4.0 a couple of nights ago. Basically,
I was using frames to force alignment on control in a window, and found
that the order in which I did the creation and packing of the various
elements affected whether or not they actually appeared on the screen.
That is, if I created a frame, packed it, created some buttons, and
backed them into them into the frame, I would get one result--but
if I created the frame, created the controls and packed them into the
frame, and then finally packed the frame into the window, I would get
another. This seems very counterintuitive to me, and I'm wondering if
it is a known tk bug, or just a "feature" I'm unaware of.
I do have the buggy code still around, but not reight here,
unfortunately.
And oh, yes, this was under wish.
Thanks,
