For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Tk button auto repeat

Posted by kenshail (kenshail), 31 July 2005
I am not able to get a Tk button to auto-repeat on hold-down.
Using activestate 5.8.4

These are the bare-bones of my latest of many different attempts :

$myBut=$dateFrameA->Button(-text=>"- -",
  -width=>2, -height=>1)
 ->pack();

$myBut->bind('<ButtonPress-1>'=>sub
 {
  # button callback  
 });

$myBut->configure( -repeatinterval=>'100',
-repeatdelay=>'100');

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Now why do I know that your questions are always going to be really good ones?  

I'm away at present to don't have a variety of systems to try this out on - but that's what I *would* do if around ... have you tried this under Linux, for example?  Knowing if it's OS / release dependend won't solve the problem but it may give you some clues ...

((Having written that, I looked further at your code and wonder if  ButtonPress is always going to give you a single event as it's the putting-button-down action, and if Button is the event that will be effected by repeat interval and repeat delays.   I may be talking through my hat here ...))
