Re^3: Tk MatrixTable - entering data

However, I could only see what I had typed in the cell after I moved to another cell (as I used the cursor the cell 'flashed' and went white background).

These widgets have alot of internal bindings to mouse 1 clicks. Have you tried Double-clicking cells to initiate an edit?

On your exmaple, it does not matter if I give one of two mouse clicks. The cell still 'flashes' and I cannot see what I type in until I move to another cell. Could this be because of some setting on my PC rather than something associated with the TableMatrix?	[reply]

I have found out some more. On your exmaple, if I remove the line `$t->tagConfigure('active', -bg => 'white', -relief => 'sunken');` [download] I can then see the original text when I type the new text in. It is feint white but I guess another setting will allow this to be darker. If I change the 'definition' of the table from `#$tm2 = $mw->Scrolled('Spreadsheet',` [download] to `$tm2 = $mw->Scrolled('TableMatrix',` [download] then just a single cursor hit allows me to move from cell to cell. The appearance of the display is different but again I suspect I can find something to alter this if necessary.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hi, just in case you missed it, in my first example to you, was some commented code, which you may sometimes need. `# $table->configure(-padx =>( $table->cget(-padx))); # a TableMatrix trick needed sometimes to force an immediate upd +ate` [download] I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
