Background image with grid
|
|
| vorticitywolfe@gmail.com 2007-04-28, 10:02 pm |
| Hello I'm a beginner and I'm using grid to make an entry widget
table. I want a background image behind the table is there a way to
do that with grid without making the image put into a grid "cell"
while putting the entry widgets around it?
Thanks for your help!

First start with a Canvas or Zinc widget.
Next load your background image onto the canvas.
Then create canvas window items for your entry widgets.
*$canvas*->createWindow(*x, y*?, *-option*=>*value*, ...?)
See: perldoc Tk::Canvas

Thanks, I am one step closer. I am able to put labels etc on the
canvas, but when I use "grid", it destroys the canvas. For example:
$canvas->Label(-options) ->grid(); #works fine
$canvas->Label(-options) ->grid( #destroys canvas (at
least it looks that way)
$canvas->Label(-options)->pack(),
$canvas->Label(-options)->pack(),
$canvas->Label(-options)->pack());
Any ideas?
Thanks again!

Works a bit differently with a canvas, you need to specify xy coords,
then play around with the width and height options for the label widget.
Similar to something like this:
$canvas = $mw->Canvas();
$label = $canvas->Label(-text => "LabelText",);
$canid = $canvas->createWindow(0, 0, -window => $label,);
Good Luck,
Jason
