in reply to eventGenerate for Listbox
G'day jfan8888,
Welcome to the Monastery.
"... but I can not get what I expected when eventGenerate is called."
Unfortunately, that's an entirely unhelpful report. What did you do? What did you get? What did you expect? Please read "How do I post a question effectively?". When you do, take note of what it says about strict and warnings in multiple places; in one, it's in big red letters — see "perlintro - Perl introduction for beginners" for more on that.
Tk::Scrolled creates a composite megawidget (see Tk::mega) which, in this case, is a Tk::Frame containing the specified Tk::Listbox widget along with other widgets, such as scrollbars. You need to call eventGenerate() on the Tk::Listbox subwidget, not on the Tk::Frame — see "Tk::mega - Subwidget" for details.
In the following code: I've removed all of the non-essential cosmetics (please also do this in any subsequent posts); show how to extract the Tk::Listbox subwidget; and, put eventGenerate() in a "Test" button so you can try this multiple times without needing to continually start and stop the application.
#!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use warnings; use Tk; my $mw = MainWindow::->new(); my $scrl_lbox = $mw->Scrolled('Listbox', -scrollbars => 'e', -selectmode => 'single', -height => 3, )->pack(); my $lbox = $scrl_lbox->Subwidget('scrolled'); $lbox->bind('<ButtonPress-1>', sub { print "Event: <ButtonPress-1>\n"; } ); $lbox->insert(end => 'a' .. 'f'); $mw->Button(-text => 'Test', -command => sub { $lbox->eventGenerate('<ButtonPress-1>'); } )->pack(); MainLoop;
— Ken
