in reply to Noninteractive Refresh

I have not used Tk in a while as I am now using Gtk for my Perl GUIs (I like it better). At any rate, I think you want update idletasks whose code is roughly Tk->update("idletasks");

If that fails, it could be a window manager problem. I have seen WM problems with Tk, but they could all be gone by now...

    I did try the update("idletasks") but unfortunately that didn't help, I also tried using a different WM but again to no avail. I would love to switch to Gtk but the target platform is Solaris and I'd rather use Tk than go through the rigors of putting Gtk+ on Solaris. Can you point me in the direction of some additional documentation? Thanks for your response.
