I don't use windows, and I don't know what Tabs is, maybe you need to use system or fork-and-exec to run Tabs? But to do it in pure Tk ( with some extra eye-candy), look at this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;
my $mw = MainWindow->new(-title=>'Text');
my $tl = $mw->Toplevel();
$tl->withdraw;
$mw->fontCreate('big',
-family=>'arial',
-weight=>'bold',
-size => 24 );
$mw->Radiobutton(-text => "Open",
-value => "open",
-font => 'big',
-command => \&open_it,
)->pack(-anchor => 'w');
my $text = $tl->Scrolled("Text",
-scrollbars => 'osw',
-font =>'big',
-wrap => 'none',
)->pack;
MainLoop;
sub open_it{
open (FH,"<$0") or warn "$!\n";
my @lines = <FH>;
close FH;
$text->tagConfigure('greyline', -background => 'grey95');
my $toggle = -1;
for (@lines) {
my $greyline;
if( $toggle == 1 ){ my $greyline = '' }
else { $greyline = 'greyline' }
$text->insert('end',"$_",$greyline);
$toggle *= -1;
}
$tl->deiconify;
$tl->raise;
}

A file is an (imaginary) object on disk, not a Tk widget.
It certainly can't pop up as a window unless you construct the window and load the file into that window.
What kind of file is that, and how would you like to display it? | [reply] |
It is a .pl file where the user enters his inputs. I could make that file a sub in the current file but the code will be just too long. I also wanted to know how to save those inputs to a text file? Thx alot guys for ur input... | [reply] |
Search groups.google.com for "Tk IPC::Open3". You are not clear what the other script does, but you can launch it with some ipc (see perldoc perlipc), then grab the output and save it.
