    X Windows Failure

    You can either edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config manually and change the driver to the ati one for your card or if you're not comfortable with that run the command XFree86 -configure which will take you through the setup procedure. I found this from a google search ... Section "Monitor"...

    Dynamically update list

    I've cracked it! In case anyone's interested, here's how I did it, set nos [list 1 2 3 4 5 6] for {set c 0} {$c <= [llength $nos]} {incr c} { set one [lindex $nos $c] if {$one == 4} {lappend nos 7} if {$one == 7} {puts "Works"} } I think this must make the substitution...

    Dynamically update list

    Bong, my actual application is a fairly complex GUI but I'm basically just doing data manipulation. I could just search through the modified list a second time but when there is a large amount of items this could add significant time to the procedure. I can probably come up with a complicated...

    Dynamically update list

    Is there a way to update a list from within a foreach loop that is working on the list? Here's an example ... set nos [list 1 2 3 4 5 6] % foreach one $nos { if {$one == 4} { lappend nos 7 } if {$one == 7} {puts "List...

    Help with Hard drive problems!?!?!??!

    Check your jumper settings for master/slave/etc., does the BIOS recognise the hard drive?

    probably a stupid question about checkbutton but...

    what about ... -command { if {[.chkbutton configure -foreground] == $color1} { .chkbutton configure -foreground $color2 } else { .chkbutton configure -foreground $color1 }

    Position Embedded Application

    Right, I've cracked it, thanks for your input Bong. I was getting an error because I needed to add an 'update' command before trying to embed the application in the frame I wanted to use. Thanks again

    tk entry usage

    You could use tkwait ... pack [entry .e -textvar e -width 50] tkwait variable e tk_messageBox -message "$e" -type okcancel -icon question this prevents the message box opening until the variable e is modified

    Position Embedded Application

    Sorry, I messed up. I didn't spend enough time 'fiddling' with it. I tried gridding a frame under the canvas and adding the button and couldn't get that to work for some reason but if I use a canvas then it works fine. Sorry if it's confusing, I tried to simplify things (LOL) by pulling this...

    How Do I Read My Windows Drive From Linux (F A Q)

    Although it's irrelevent in this case, Linux CAN read an NTFS drive but write access is not advised.

    Problem using winfo

    Bong posted this as a response to one of my questions, it occured to me that this might be what you want ... The 'place' command (instead of pack or grid) SYNOPSIS place window option value ?option value ...? place configure window ?option? ?value option value ...? place forget window place...

    Position Embedded Application

    Here's an example of what I have done toplevel .top1 canvas .top1.c1 -width 300 -height 300 grid .top1.c1 exec wish button.tcl -use [winfo id .top1] & the button.tcl script looks like this ... frame .f1 pack .f1 button .f1.exit -text "Exit" -command {exit} pack .f1.exit I think I'm probably...

    Position Embedded Application

    Ayup, I have an application that presents some data in a toplevel window top1. I can embed another application (a tcl script) in the toplevel window but I can't position it where I would like. Ideally I wanted to create a frame in the toplevel and then position the frame but I can only get it...

    Problem using winfo

    How have you specified the outer .main frame? It's not listed in your code. There is a typo as you have two padx options and I think your formula can be simplified to, pack .main.inner -in .main -padx [expr [.main cget -width] - [winfo width .main.inner] / 2] -pady [expr [.main cget...
