Re: Read Only fields from Tk, neither Text or ROText seem to work.

One problem may be your use of == for string comparison. Try using eq. Both your strings numberify (that's a horrid non-word; forgive me) to 0.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

Thanks, I would have caught that slop eventually. But that is not going to cause this problem. Skip	[reply] [d/l]

I probably would have approached it differently to start with, in that I would have used label and entry widgets, vs Text/ROText, mostly because everything in your sample seems to be single-line fields. On the other hand, I've no clue as to how many label/entry pairs you would need; at some number (a half-dozen? a score?), your method may be less unwieldly than using label/entry pairs. emc At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well.

Ah! Much better! Label and Entry are my new bestest friends. Skip	[reply] [d/l]

Well, I have around forty pairs on this screen (not my choice, duplicating extant function.) But I will see about the label/entry option. Skip	[reply] [d/l]

On second thought, that MAY have something to do with it. Third Thought! That was it! Weird results for what was going on. Thanks! Skip	[reply] [d/l]
