Esteemed monks,

With Tk::JComboBox in this code fragment (part of a rather large GUI the rest of which works rather well);

  $frfr->Label( -text => 'Campaign' )->grid( -column => 0, -row => 0 )
+;
  $frfr->Checkbutton(
    -text     => 'enabled',
    -variable => \$self->{_campaigns_filter_flag},

    #-command  => sub { $self->_campaigns_filter_flag_change(); },
    -command => sub { $self->_get_records_all(); },
    )->grid(
    $self->{_campaign_list} = $frfr->JComboBox(
      -relief             => 'sunken',
      -highlightthickness => 0,
      -mode       => 'readonly',
      -listwidth  => '16',
      -entrywidth => '16',
      #-listcmd => sub { $self->_campaign_list_load() },
    ),
    -padx => 2,
    -pady => 1,
    );

  $self->{_campaign_list}->configure( -subwidgets => [ Listbox => { -b
+ackground => 'white' }, ] );
  $self->{_campaign_list}->configure( -selectcommand => sub { $self->_
+campaign_filter_set( $self->{_campaign_list} ); } );
  #$self->_campaign_list_load();
  $self->{_campaign_list}->configure( -popupcreate => sub { $self->_ca
+mpaign_list_load() } );

The issues:

• When called separately the $self->_campaign_list_load(); loads the listbox just fine. But the ist is somewhat dynamic, so I want to load it before the Listbox is drawn ech time. According the docs, this $self->{_campaign_list}->configure( -popupcreate => sub { $self->_campaign_list_load() } ); should cause the list to be loaded before the popup is displayed. But it doesn't. Any suggestions?
• Under some combinations I can get the listbox being created 'separately', it will appear in the upper left hand corner of the screen regardless of any other settings.

Any clues?

Update The author has made some changes and expects that v1.12 of the module will address these issues. Thanks Rob for your timely response!
