Tcl Source Code

When running a script that includes [package require Tk] from tclsh on Windows, an old style theme is used for dialogs (tk_getOpenFile, tk_getSaveFile, etc.). Running from wish, the correct style theme is used for dialogs. Tested on Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Fixed in core-8-5-branch [a2a1fe34e9ebd0be2d16b244990a5856ac893b07|a2a1fe34e9] and trunk [c438e5f6a09988614b1f3e6eef5b830f87f3244f|c438e5f6a0].

Thanks for this report!

I believe the difference is because the tclsh Windows build does not have the appropriate shell dialog manifest lines. 8.6.1 tclsh did not have a manifest at all afaict. In 8.6.2RC1, tclsh has a manifest but the following lines which are present in wish.exe.manifest.in are missing from tclsh.exe.manifest.in

    </dependency>


Adding this to my build fixed this problem but not sure what other implications it might have. (Actually only the Common-Controls piece is relevant here but the DPI section should also be included I think)
