In VTcl, you could manage the procedures while in the editor, but VTcl (Visual Tcl) is now broken. What is great is that you have add all the Tk or Tile widgets, but creating a program seems not possible yet ? Or maybe i'm wrong ? Olivier.
From: Thomas MENEZ on 17 Apr 2010 14:54 Those few posts have been very enlightening as to what could be improved on the short term. - Tcl/Tk 8.4 "limitation" : I intend building standalone PureTkGUI versions (using a custom built Tcl/Tk 8.6.x source release) to cope with that. PureTkGUI is able to generate 8.4 compatible code, provided the user selects the proper 8.4 widgets. - Tutorials : A tutorial depicting a "hello world" application is currently in the works. - Sample projects will be provided in addition to the already provided (but maybe too complex) PureTkGUI project. More to come. Thomas

By default, PureTkGUI generates a source file holding a proc that you can you use in your own Tcl scripts, so that sourcing (i.e. double clicking) the generated ".tcl" file will not create any widget. Hoewever, if you wish that those widgets be created when you source the generated file, you have to set the corresponding option inside the project preferences. The generated proc will be called at the end of the generated file. Maybe I should enable this option by default for newcomers. > * --> : / I don't know how to create a menu attached to the menubutton Widget not supported yet. Basically, if you can't do something, it is very likely the feature is not available yet. PureTkGUI aims at being user friendly. > * --> : / For the created button I have named a command "toto", but > each time > I select the created button in PureTkGui editor, it wants to launch > a procedure > that does't exist yet. Indeed this is a known generic problem. I have not found any workaround yet, but this is a minor problem for now. It does not prevent you from building your GUI, it's just annoying. v1.0.0 will address this issue. > In VTcl, you could manage the procedures while in the editor, but VTcl > (Visual Tcl) > is now broken.

Yes, PureTKGUI v0.10.0 currently allows to create GUIs. The tutorial will show you how. > Olivier. Thomas

Hi Thomas, looks nice. Just to inform you: Tutorial No 1 seems to have a problem. The page displays but nothing happens and there is no link to maybe start it manually. Keep up the good work and best regards Helmut Giese |
