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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
problem with entry widget

Posted by dee00zee (dee00zee), 10 June 2005
I want to create a simple gui which has buttons and entry.
I want the entry to return the path of the file that I 've choosen during browse.
My code is as follows, but the entry does not return the path of the file that I've choosen.

#!/usr/local/bin/wish

wm title . gui

proc Browse3 {} {
global types command
set file [tk_getOpenFile -filetypes $types -parent .]
#if {$file != ""} {set scriptFile $file}

}

frame .top -borderwidth 10
pack .top -side top -fill x

entry .top.ent -width 20 -relief sunken -textvariable command
button .top.quit -text Quit -command exit
button .top.browse -text "Browse.." -command Browse3
     
pack .top.quit .top.browse -side right

#create label entry for the command
label .top.l -text File: -padx 0
#entry .top.ent -width 20 -relief sunken
pack .top.l -side left
pack .top.ent -side left -fill x -expand true

set types {
     {"ALL files"      *}
     }

Could you suggest what should I do to make it work?
Thank you

You'll kick yourself!

I changed

Code:
#if {$file != ""} {set scriptFile $file}


to

Code:
if {$file != ""} {set command $file}


and it looks good to me. See what you think..
