You will need to subclass Tk::Listbox and override the relevant methods.

Trapping programmatic changes to the UI is probably a bad idea, however, and you should arrange for a notification to be processed by some other means. Tk works very well as the "V" in "MVC", so you will probably get much cleaner code if you have a method in another object that represents whatever the listbox choices are. Preserve that separation and your code will be easier to maintain. Right now, your code seems to be headed towards "tissue of hacks" and Big Ball of Mud.

Sadly, Tk does not appear to have a mechanism for passing generic program-generated events to callbacks.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
