I've started a private git branch of tkwidgets that I intent to push once I get somewhere with it. The idea is to try out a new idea for how GUI objects can work. Basically, I think I can make it so that Tcl handles more of the interaction with the user, minimizing on pd-gui <--> pd communications, and making it easier to write GUI objects. Its not trivial to do, but should be doable.</div><div><br></div><div>.hc</div><div><br></div><br><div><div>On Aug 17, 2011, at 12:26 PM, Jonathan Wilkes wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><div><span>Never mind, I see it now inside canvas_vis... too bad canvas' "window" subcommand doesn't have something like pack's "-in" option...</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>But I guess I could make a toplevel checkbutton widget and just manually clone it.<br></span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>-Jonathan<br></span></div><div><br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><font face="Arial" size="2"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Jonathan Wilkes <<a href="mailto:jancsika@yahoo.com">jancsika@yahoo.com</a>><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Hans- Christoph Steiner <<a href="mailto:hans@at.or.at">hans@at.or.at</a>><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Wednesday, August 17, 2011 3:14 AM<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> tkwidgets<br></font><br><div id="yiv1405278837"><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt;"><div>Hi Hans,</div><div> Do I have it right that your tkwidgets get destroyed when the containing patch is vis'd 0?
