How to bring up a tk form in EDI?

Robin C
Robin C over 12 years ago

Hi all,

I wish to add a GUI to my hand-crafted tcl procedures, but I cannot figure out how to bring up the tk form in SOC encounter. Yes, I can see "pack" command under EDI shell, but it turns out to be in-effective.

For a very simple example:


   button .btn1 "Button"
   pack .btn1

can create a form with one button under wish shell, but nothing happens under EDI shell. Can you help me how to deal with it? Or can i use something else to build up my own GUI?

 

Thank You,
Robin  :)

    toplevel is the command you need to create a top level form, then you can create frames and such to pack into it. There should be a slew of examples on the web for basic Tk menus. EDI has some APIs available if you want to add buttons to their button bar.
