Re^2: use Tkx & busy/unbusy ( $mw->g_tk

Well Waka Waka... thanks for the reply but $mw->g_tk_busy, which I think should work, doesn't on AS Perl 5.14 on Win7. It also produces an error message shown below.

Or did you run this in 5.16? And/or do you have Tcl 8.6 installed on what may be a linux system?

C:\asdf\>perl -e " $Tkx::TRACE=64; use Tkx; Tkx::widget->new(q(.))->g_
+tk_busy()"
Tkx-1-0.0s--e-1: tk busy .
bad option "busy": must be appname, caret, scaling, useinputmethods, w
+indowingsystem, or inactive at -e line 1.
[download]

Or maybe I should look at getting Tcl 8.6 on Win7?

Thanks for your time and thoughts.

doesn't on AS Perl 5.14 on Win7. Really? Go figure :) http://docs.activestate.com/activeperl/5.14/lib/Tkx.html ->http://docs.activestate.com/activeperl/5.14/lib/Tcl/tkkit.html ->http://docs.activestate.com/activetcl/8.5/tcl/tk_contents.htm Or did you run this in 5.16? And/or do you have Tcl 8.6 installed on what may be a linux system? I'm on windows, using a perl 5.14, compiled with mingw -- like http://strawberryperl.com/ and ActiveTcl8.6 still Tk 8.5 http://docs.activestate.com/activeperl/5.16/lib/Tcl/tkkit.html Or maybe I should look at getting Tcl 8.6 on Win7? It should be as easy as installing ActivePerl , just get ActiveTcl, and then recompile Tcl/Tcl::Tk, and maybe even switch to Tcl::pTk :)	[reply]

For anyone else on linux looking for this documentation that doesn't exist. `$main_window->configure( -cursor => 'watch' ); Tkx::update(); long_routine(); $main_window->configure( -cursor => 'top_left_arrow' ); Tkx::update();` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
