I was considering create a "master" widget as a child of the main window and sync it to the widget drawn on the canvas, but that seems like a lot of trouble. Is there some other workaround?<br><br>Another thing: to get "Pd-style" interaction, bind $canvas <<EditMode>> to a proc that sets -state to disabled for all tkwidgets in that $canvas when editmode == 1. That way you don't end up triggering the widget when you want
to edit it.<br><br>-Jonathan<br><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> Hans-Christoph Steiner <hans@at.or.at><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Jonathan Wilkes <jancsika@yahoo.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cc:</span></b> pd-dev List <pd-dev@iem.at><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Wednesday, August 17, 2011 2:54 PM<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: tkwidgets<br></font><br><div id="yiv1426514273"><div><br></div><div>Hey Jonathan,</div><div><br></div><div>I'm cc'ing pd-dev since this is a topic that could interest others and
others could contribute to. 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="yiv1426514273Apple-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
