Author Table for text-area
Esa Heikkinen

2007-12-22, 8:12 am


Hi

I would want to make a table for text-area (text-widget in Tk8.4), which
includes cells in fixed places. The cell includes for example numerical
data, which can change.

How can i build TK-applcation to doing that ?

PS. There are only insert-command to put data to text-widget, but not
"update"- or "remove"-command ?

Have a look at either Tktable or at Tablelist (in Tklib) - the latter
is based on the text widget. Either will almost certainly do what you
want.

You can delete text from the text widget:

..t delete $first $last

but to update the text, you will have to remove the old first and then
insert
the new text.

Ok. Thanks.

Are tags only for attributes ot text, but not for text ?
I think tags may do that also..

With 8.5 there is a "replace" command which combines a delete with an
insert in one command.
