Subject: Re: Problem with Tk::Tile::Dialog#client_frame

Hi

Still trying to call Tk::Tile::Dialog#client_frame and still having problems.

Resum�:

When I do:

    Tk::TIle::Dialog.new(type=>'okcancel').client_frame

I get:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1694:in `_invoke_without_enc': wrong # args: 
should be "::ttk::dialog::clientframe dlg" (RuntimeError)
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1694:in `_ip_invoke_core'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1730:in `_tk_call_core'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1758:in `tk_call_without_enc'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tkextlib/tile/dialog.rb:54:in 
`client_frame'
        from ./dialogtst.rb:36


I thought I had it figured out from looking at 

    Tk::Tile::TNotebook#enable_traversal

That method calls 

   tk_call_without_enc('::ttk::notebook::enableTraversal', @path)

- so I redefined Tk::Tile::Dialog#client_frame as:

class Tk::Tile::Dialog
  def client_frame 
    window(tk_call_without_enc('::ttk::dialog::clientframe', @path))
  end
end

and do:

Dialog.new(:type=>'okcancel').clientframe

- but then I get:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1694:in `_invoke_without_enc': bad window path 
name ".w00000.f" (RuntimeError)
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1694:in `_ip_invoke_core'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1730:in `_tk_call_core'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1758:in `tk_call_without_enc'
        from ./dialogtst.rb:32:in `client_frame'
        from ./dialogtst.rb:37

Now, I know that the path of the dialog must be '.w00000', so somewhere '.f' 
is appended. Does anybody know where an why?

My appologies for persisting with this question, by I'm really stuck.
