Re^2: Simple Tkx loop question

Unfortunately it didn't work;

bad option "repeat": must be cget or configure at Ikon.pl line 82.

I guess that there's a equivalent for Tkx?
The closest I got was http://www.mail-archive.com/tcltk@perl.org/msg00220.html . Maybe that's correct?

You just gave some pseudo code, and so did I. I don't have Tkx running, nor have knowledge of it's exact syntax. You asked how do I get this running in the mainloop. The answer is a timer.... how Tkx implements timers is up to you to find out. Maybe google for "perl Tkx timer", the first hit shows how to do it.... they call it a Tkx::after I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Old Perl Programmer Haiku	[reply]

Something like the following will work: `# After 100ms call my_routine(). Tkx::after(100, sub { my_routine(); }); Tkx::MainLoop();` [download] Also, if you need a good tutorial on Tkx, check out `http://www.tkdocs.com/tutorial/` [download] There are lots of examples and each example is shown in Tcl, Ruby, Perl, and Python.
