Re^6: tkx repeat

tk has the repeat method, but tkx doesn't.
All i really want to do is update a treeview widget every 5 seconds, but i cant find a way to do it with tkx.
I've heard of Tkx::update, but i don't know exactly how it works or whether it would help me.

LOL! You can see at http://search.cpan.org/src/SREZIC/Tk-804.028/Tk/After.pm that repeat is implemented using Tk::after(). Repeat is implemented using Tk::after, so use Tkx::after to implement repeat. Can you try writing repeat using Tkx::after now?	[reply]

I can certainly try. Sorry if I sound like a major noob, it's because I'm 16 and I've just started using Perl recently	[reply]

Excuses excuses :) `Tkx::after(5000, \&repeat_me_every_5000ms ); sub repeat_me_every_5000ms { ... Tkx::after(5000, \&repeat_me_every_5000ms ); } my $sub = sub { ... Tkx::after(5000, $sub ); # schedule to repeat }; Tkx::after(5000, $sub );` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
