Tk: browseentry

vikee has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello, i'm using this widget. the program is ok, works 
without errors, but now i can't select anything from it. I 
select something and remains the same as it was initialized.

any ideas why?

        $Rowframes[ $numberofrows - 1 ]->BrowseEntry(
            -variable => $data[ $numberofrows - 1 ][$i],
            -choices  => @column_params[$i],
            -state    => 'readonly',
            -width => 16,
        )->pack( side => 'left');

Not knowing the first thing about Tk::BrowseEntry other than what I just pulled up on the ActivePerl site, it seems that you need to be passing a scalar reference for your `-variable` parameter, and an array reference for the `-choices` parameter. Assuming that `$column_params[$i]` is actually an array reference: `$Rowframes[ $numberofrows - 1 ]->BrowseEntry( -variable => \$data[ $numberofrows - 1 ][$i], -choices => $column_params[$i], -state => 'readonly', -width => 16, )->pack( side => 'left');` [download] Brad	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You really need to post working (or non-working snippets) so we can run it. Otherwise we just have to guess. From looking at your code, I would suspect the "-state=>readonly" I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. flash japh	[reply]

You're right, i should send the whole code... the problem was with the -variable, there is an array needed so `@column_params[$i]`, it's a 2D array. thanks	[reply] [d/l]
