For 2023 - 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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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)) |
Making a variable dynamically visible in a Tcl/Tk GUI
set bill "and Ben"
label .about -textvariable bill
button .first -text "First" -command {set bill Bradshaw}
button .second -text "Second" -command {set bill Bailey}
button .done -text quit -command exit
pack .about .first .second .done
Tcl/Tk's -textvariable option, on commands like label and button, allows you to have the contents of a variable display within you GUI (Graphic User Interface) ... and simply changing the value in the variable will change your display.
Quick, elegant, easy to program and easy to maintain. (written 2007-12-15, updated 2007-12-16)
