tk_messageBox - text entry won't select after using this
in [TCL]
|
From: Eric Taylor on 22 Jun 2008 16:25 Running this on windows: entry .e -textvariable foo pack .e set foo foo tk_messageBox -message hi I run this, (8.4 active state and some 8.5.1/2 tclkits) and I cannot click the text in the entry. If I open a console on windows, then the entry can be selected. (this is after responding to the message in either case). Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Or could this be a focus issue (or bug) in tk_messageBox?

Obviously, the entry text can't be selected when the message box is open, but after closing the message box, the text in the entry selects as expected. Jeff

The bug is present on WindowsXP Home SP2 ActiveState 8.4.13. Maybe it was fixed since. Please be sure to execute the code snippet from the command line as wish thefilename.tcl If you execute the code from a wish console, it works ok. [snip] -- Oscar |
