Re: How to get the width/height of a Tk::Button widget?

$widget->cget() returns the configured value which may be:

the widget's default (Tk::Button has both -height and -width set to 0)
a value used when creating the widget (see Khen1950fx's post above with the values 1 and 5)
a new value set with $widget->configure()

Try using $widget->height() and $widget->width(). Both give the value in pixels. See Tk::Widget for details.

Thanks for all the responses! $button->width() and $button->height() worked for me! (ActivePerl 5.10 on Windows XP)	[reply]
