[PythonCE] Winhandle problem with tkinter

[Andrew Booth]

Thanks. I'm not convinced that the message is being generated by Tkinter or
TCL. I think it is coming from deeper, possibly the operating system or the
wince.dll. Whatever the source, it is a spurious message, the program works
fine despite it. I just wish I could find some way to turn it off.

I don't know the answer to your question - but you may get more help
(but I might be wrong) - on the Pocket TCL mailing list. The problem is
*more* likely to be there than with the Python side.
