Monks,

My goal is to open a DialogBox, select the content of its Entry, and focus the Entry. I'm able to do this with the following code; however, if I uncomment the add line for the DynaTabFrame it stops working.

Any ideas on how to get around this?
use warnings; use strict; use Tk; my $mw = MainWindow->new(); $mw->geometry('100x100'); my $dyna = $mw->DynaTabFrame()->pack(); #$dyna->add('test', -label => 'test'); dialog(); MainLoop(); sub dialog { my $text = 'Default'; my $dialog = $mw->DialogBox(-buttons => ['OK']); my $entry = $dialog->Entry(-textvariable => \$text)->pack(); $entry->selectionRange('0.0', 'end'); $dialog->configure(-focus => $entry); $dialog->Show(); }

In reply to Tk: Cannot focus in DialogBox when DynaTabFrame has page by eff_i_g
