It sounds like what you want is an app with two listboxes where an event in listbox1 activates something in listbox2. If this is correct, test the following code. Pressing 'insert' in the left box will add an item to the box on the right. Pressing 'delete' in the left box will remove the last item from the box on the right. Granted its a quick hack, but it will get you started.
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
use Tk;
use strict;
my ($mw, $lb1, $lb2);
my $count = 1;
$mw = MainWindow->new();
$lb1 = $mw->Listbox()->pack(-side => 'left');
$lb1->insert('end', 'insert','delete');
$lb1->bind('<<ListboxSelect>>' => \&sub1);
$lb2 = $mw->Listbox()->pack(-side => 'left');
MainLoop;
exit;
sub sub1 {
my $sel = $lb1->curselection;
if( $sel->[0] == 0 ) {
&sub2;
} else {
&sub3;
}
}
sub sub2 {
$lb2->insert('end', "inserting $count");
$count++;
}
sub sub3 {
$lb2->delete('end');
$count--;
}
hope this helps,

I don't get it, FTP simply uses two independent list boxes. They don't use each other. It's the program that reads the content from a row in one listbox and copy the data into a new row in the other listbox.
Unless you'd want them to move synchroniously... then perhaps you should rather use something like a table control: one listbox with two columns.
Hmm, there's a thought. An FTP client that shows the difference between two directories. You know those GUI diff clients, like ExamDiff and WinMerge? These show two textboxes side by side, with a colour coding of what has changed, what was added, edited, or deleted. A similar tool, comparing local directory and remote directory, that seems like a good idea. Now that I just thought it up, it does. :)
If anyone wants to run with the idea and do something with it: you have my blessing. Just don't try to patent the idea. ;-| | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |
You should be able to create 2 list boxes easy enough.
Beyond that, it's up to your code to handle what to do with
them.
It's not written in perl, but have a look at filerunner for a Tcl/Tk example.

I thought WS_FTP had one box for the current directory on your hard drive and another box for the destination directory on the FTP? You select something on the left or right and click the corresponding arrow to transfer. Some other FTP programs such as Fetch have only one box, which may be what's confusing you. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |
