Re: Predefining a word in a TK Entry/Text box?

Tk can be a bit tricky and confusing when you first start messing with it, but of course, you can add text to Text and Entry widgets. Please note that you're talking about two different sorts of widgets. Example:

# If you're using the Text widget
my $txtUser = $profileOpt->Text()->pack;
$txtUser->insert("end", "cheese");

# If you're using the Entry widget
my $txtUser = $profileOpt->Entry()->pack;
$txtUser->configure(-text=>"cheese");
# Or
my $txtUser = $profileOpt->Entry(-text=>"cheese")->pack;

That should do the trick, but please, next time provide us with a little more information, like what error message do you actually get? What have you tried so far? Etc.

In an Entry you can also use -textvariable: `my $var = "cheese"; ... my $txtUser = $profileOpt->Entry(-textvariable=>\$var)->pack;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
