I thought of using "-browsecmd". I had already bound a callback to <Double-Button-1>, i.e. if the user double-clicks on a row, go do something.

I just checked, and Perl/Tk does chain the callbacks in the right order, i.e. the browsecommand callback gets called before the double click callback, so I can cache the row, and retrieve it in the second callback to use it. I was just wondering if there is a way to directly access the active row(cell), without relying on the use of the browse command? That way, I would just retrieve it in my double-click callback, and be on my way.

This will certainly work (Thanks), it just would be nice to be able to retrieve the selected row/cell whenever you wanted it, without having to update your stored value whenever the user clicks in the TableMatrix.
