Hi,

I'm not cowboy :)

The  Tkx::pack(".s");... syntax cowboy using is very cumbersome , if you're going to do that, might as well just write it in tcl with the "secret"  Tkx::eval('tcl source code here'); , its a tiny bit less cumbersome than Tkx::i::call, but you gotta learn Tcl syntax

Yes Tkx::pack... is the first syntax explained in Tkx::Tutorial (a tutorial which must not be skipped), but don't choose that syntax :)

Also if you insist on Tkx don't skip http://www.tkdocs.com/tutorial/onepage.html

$Tkx::TRACE = 64;
use Tkx;
...
## create button
my $b = $mw->new_ttk__button(
    -text => 'Hello, world',
    -command => sub { $mw->g_destroy; },
);
$b->g_pack;

## retrieve existing button by name (button created using Tkx::eval())
## my $b = Tkx::widget->new(".b");

## Tkx::i::call(".b", "configure", "-background", "blue");
## Tkx::eval(".b configure -background blue");
$b->configure( -background => "blue")

My feelings on tkx Re: Is there a Tk to Tkx translator script? (Tk, Tcl::pTk)
