Re^2: Tk::BrowseEntry -- get() with nothing selected

It's my understanding that the selection methods of Tk::Listbox modify the selection, and not return it. The curselection() method is not available by default in a Tk::BrowseEntry widget. Is there any way I can override the widget bindings so that the get method is defaulted to the Tk::Entry widget rather than the Tk::Listbox widget?

Any help is appreciated,

<edit>Well, I changed the BrowseEntry.pm to delegate to the entry widget rather than the scrolled listbox. However I would like to find a way to do it without trifling with the default bindings directly, (i.e. a code override rather than hard override)</edit>

Use Subwidget, i.e. with $browseentry->Subwidget("subwidgetname")->method(...). The BrowseEntry documentation should provide the names of the advertides widgets.	[reply]

Yeah I saw that but had no clue how to use them. I figured it would be something like that...so it would be `$be->Subwidget('entry')->get()` [download] Thanks for all your help on this, Grygonos	[reply] [d/l]
