Take a look at the
text_demo script that comes with Tk800.023 ...
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Tk;
require Tk::Text;
my $top = MainWindow->new;
$top->option('add','*Text.background'=>'white');
my $t = $top->Scrolled('Text',"-relief" => "raised",
"-bd" => "2",
"-setgrid" => "true");
my $m = $t->Menu();
$m->add("command", "-label" => "Open", "-underline" => 0,
"-command" => \&sayopen);
$m->add("command", "-label" => "Close", "-underline" => 0,
"-command" => \&sayclose);
$m->add("separator");
$m->add("command", "-label" => "Selection", "-underline" => 0,
"-command" => \&showsel);
$m->add("separator");
$m->add("command", "-label" => "Exit", "-underline" => 1,
"-command" => \&doexit);
$t->pack(-expand => 1, "-fill" => "both");
$t->tag("configure", "underline","-underline","on");
$t->insert("0.0", "This window is a text widget. It displays one or m
+ore lines of text
and allows you to edit the text. Here is a summary of the things you
can do to a text widget:
1. Insert text. Press mouse button 1 to set the insertion cursor, then
type text. What you type will be added to the widget. You can backsp
+ace
over what you've typed using either the backspace key, the delete key,
or Control+h.
2. Resize the window. This widget has been configured with the \"setG
+rid\"
option on, so that if you resize the window it will always resize to a
+n
even number of characters high and wide. Also, if you make the window
narrow you can see that long lines automatically wrap around onto
additional lines so that all the information is always visible.
3. Scanning. Press mouse button 2 in the text window and drag up or do
+wn.
This will drag the text at high speed to allow you to scan its content
+s.
4. Select. Press mouse button 1 and drag to select a range of characte
+rs.
Once you've released the button, you can adjust the selection by press
+ing
button 1 with the shift key down. This will reset the end of the
selection nearest the mouse cursor and you can drag that end of the
selection by dragging the mouse before releasing the mouse button.
You can double-click to select whole words, or triple-click to select
whole lines.
5. Delete. To delete text, select the characters you'd like to delete
and type Control+d.
6. Copy the selection. To copy the selection either from this window
or from any other window or application, select what you want, click
button 1 to set the insertion cursor, then type Control+v to copy the
selection to the point of the insertion cursor.
You can also bind commands to tags. Like press button 3 for menu ");
&insertwtag($t,"here","underline");
$t->tag("bind","underline","<3>", [sub { shift; shift->Post(@_)},$m,Ev
+(X),Ev(Y)] );
$t->bind("<Any-Enter>", sub { $t->focus });
$t->Subwidget('text')->OnDestroy(sub { print "Destroyed!\n"; print $t-
+>get('1.0','end') });
Tk::MainLoop;
sub insertwtag {
local($w,$text,$tag) = @_;
my $start = $w->index("insert");
print "start=$start\n";
$w->insert("insert",$text);
$w->tag("add",$tag,$start,"insert");
}
sub sayopen { print "Open something\n" }
sub sayclose { print "Close something\n" }
sub showsel { my @info = $t->tagRanges('sel');
if (@info)
{
print "start=$info[0] end=$info[1]\n"
}
}
sub doexit
{
die "'die' no longer exits"
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
