Tile Widget Set - combobox and entry?

Jeff Godfrey

2004-08-24, 4:43 pm

Can someone with experience with the Tile Widget set (version 0.4) give me
some pointers on accessing the new combobox and entry widgets? See my
earlier post below for details on my troubles.

Thanks,

Jeff

I get this, after just extracting tile04.zip into my Tcl lib
directory:

% package require tile
0.4
% info command tcomb*
tcombobox
% info command tent*
tentry
%

Bob,

Thanks for the reply.

I can only assume that you are running on some *nix box and the issue must
be related to the Windows build. I am running WinXP pro, and those
particular commands don't appear to be in the 0.4 dll I downloaded, as can
be seen below:

package require tile
0.4
% info command tcomb*
% info command tent*
%

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Jeff

Um, no. Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 1. I've got
TclDevKit 3.1 installed in C:\apps\Tcl, and I just extracted
tile04.zip into C:\apps\Tcl\lib, and it works. I'm p

ing in tile's
pkgIndex.tcl file, and I see that it won't do anything with Tcl < 8.4.
Are you up to date?

I am using XP Pro and have Tcl 8.5a1 installed and get the same thing
with tile package 0.4.
No entry or combobox:

% package require tile
0.4
% info command tcom*
% info command ten*
% info command ::tile::*
::tile::label ::tile::menubutton ::tile::labelframe ::tile::frame
::tile::radiobutton ::tile::button ::tile::progress ::tile::takefocus
::tile::ThemeChanged ::tile::LoadImages ::tile::notebook
::tile::activate ::tile::Repeat ::tile::checkbutton ::tile::scrollbar
::tile::Repeatedly ::tile::CancelRepeat
% puts $tcl_patchLevel
8.5a1

Hmmmm. Vewwwwwy intewesting.

My sy

min upgraded my Windows Tcl installation while I was off on
vacation, but I'm pretty sure it just wrote ActiveTcl 8.4.6 on top of,
ummmm, whatever was there before. Might have been 8.4.4. Then I
unzipped tile04.zip without looking first. I might have overwritten
something that was already there. But now I see tile0.3 and tile0.4
directories in my Tcl/lib directory. I'm honestly not sure what Tcl
or ActiveTcl or Tile dependencies are at work.

Apologies for this. We had a version numbering mixup. Joe has only
recently created a release of tile 0.4 but the cvs version has been
this way for quite a while. Sometime ago I was asked for an updated
build and produced an interim build - so until last w

the
tile04.zip file had an out-of-date version as was really 0.3++

Pat,

Thanks for the clarification. As I said in an earlier post, my missing
tcombobox and tentry widgets became available once I upgraded to ActiveTcl
8.4.7 - but....

After that upgrade, it seems that the "xpnative" theme was no longer
recognized (it was prior to the upgrade). I don't know if there was
actually something wrong in the ActiveTCL package, or if something went
wrong during the installation (I overlayed 8.4.7 on top of 8.4.5).

So, after seeing your above message, I downloaded the latest "tile 0.4"
build from SF, and used it to replace the existing tile installation. Now,
I have the missing widgets *and* the "xpnative" style.

Thanks,

Jeff

The xpnative style will be available in the ActiveTcl tile build
starting with the next version. I had to make some fixes to the
source code to allow the xpnative style to build properly when
you compile on a non-XP machine (we build ActiveTcl on a Win2K
box).

Thanks Jeff.

That seems to be the final piece to the puzzle.
