Hi Monks, I am building a graphical interface for my program, using radio Buttons

I would like to have 3 buttons linked to a same variable, 2 of them have a fixed -value field. I want the last one to be configurable by the user

I would like to configure this value using a ttk_entry, here's an extract of my code 

$Mode="Mode1";
 
my $entry26 = $lf21->new_ttk__radiobutton(-text => "Mode1", -variable 
+=> \$Mode, -value => "Mode1");
my $entry27 = $lf21->new_ttk__radiobutton(-text => "Mode2", -variable 
+=> \$Mode, -value => "Mode2");
my $entry28 = $lf21->new_ttk__radiobutton(-text => "Other:", -variable
+ => \$Mode, -value =>  $OtherMode  );
 
my $entry29 = $lf21->new_ttk__entry(
-validate        => 'focusout',
-textvariable => \$OtherMode,
);

From the tests i did, i can say that $OtherMode takes the value of the entry but, if I select the last button, the $Mode variable contains an empty string

do you have any idea of what i did wrong?

thanks in advance, have a great day :)
