    yes after finding the text using Tkx::FindBar i still have to hightlight it again and hit enter before i can get the result in a variable

        Here is my code

        use Tkx; use Tkx::FindBar; use strict; use warnings; my $name; my $mw=Tkx::widget->new('.'); my $text=$mw->new_text(-width=>20,height=>10); my $findbar=$mw->new_tkx_FindBar(-textwidget=>$text); foreach(qw/David Mary William/) { $text->insert('end',"$_\n"); } $findbar->g_pack(); $text-g_pack(); $findbar->show(); $text->g_bind('<Return>',sub{$name=$text->get(qw/sel.first sel.last);p +rint "The name is $name\n"});
