Re: Re: Doing what a menu command would do with out selecting it

Ben,
What would that look like?
I've inhereted the code, and I'm no master at Perl or Tk.
Thanks,
Mark

Well, presumably somewhere you're calling "select_all". Try calling select_all($canvas), where $canvas is whatever variable is used to store/create your canvas. One way to find out what is being passed is to add some debugging - try printing out the value of $c at the top of the "select_all" routine, running the program and using your menu command to 'Select All'. Hopefully you should be able to see what's being passed in, and emulate it in your own "select_all" call. Hope this helps, Ben.	[reply]
