similar to: setvalue of a combobox

Hello, I took me very long to find out how to set the initial value in the combobox widget in tk (see the example below). My question is now : Why does "textvariable" has to be a tclVar while "values" can be a normal vector? My next question is: How could I have known this much earlier? Is there a documentation for the tcl/tk usage in R? I know a lot of website with example.

Hello, I'm very much a newbie in R and more so in tcltk so apologies if this question is stupid. Basically I am trying to use the combobox example found here: http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/~wettenhall/RTclTkExamples/DropDown.html . What I want to do is in that example get fruitChoice as a variable in R in general. When I run that code, however, and the ask for fruitChoice it says

Thanks Peter, I've started a new R session (in Windows) and managed to get both ways working now : ### THIS WORKS !!! ### library(tcltk) tclRequire("IWidgets") tt<-tktoplevel() combo <- tkwidget(tt,"iwidgets::combobox") tkpack(combo) ### AND THIS WORKS TOO !!! ### tt<-tktoplevel() win <- .Tk.subwin(tt)

Dear list, I have multiple (BWidget) listboxes in the same toplevel window. The problem is, if I select (by left clicking) on one of those listbox elements, the current selection in the *other* listboxes is cleared! Anybody knows how I can prevent this? Here's my code (sorry not complete): (E.g. If I select an X value, I'd lose the Y value I selected before) gui.create.tab.general <-

Hi everybody, I am trying to write a simple progress display based on a tcltk toplevel. My first approach was to use the progressBar widget from the BWidget library but since this is not available on every system (missing on at least almost all windows systems, I guess...) I wanted to have a backup there. So my second strategy was to use a simple toplevel with a label and update the tclvariable

Dear list, Could somebody who is more experienced with the Tcl/Tk interface from R please help me clarify the issues I've put below with ### --> tags? Several things go wrong, and it's probably because of messy code, but I have a difficult time finding out what is the cause. Thanks very much, JeeBee. require(tcltk) || stop("Package tcltk is not available.") # Add path to

Hi, All: I am having a problem with handling global variable value in GUI programming, I hope R gurus can give me some advice on it. What I want to do is to read in a dataset, display some information based on the input and do some calculation on the dataset: However, I am having trouble organizing my code, as the following code goes, the comboBox section will have to be put in the

Hello! The IWigdets::combobox has an option "selectioncommand" to specify a procedure which is called when an item in the combobox is selected. Does ComboBox from Bwidgets have an equal option or is there a simple method to do thi? I haven't found one but i would like to use Bwidgets instead of Iwidgets. Another question which should not be a problem, but at the moment I just

Hello, I am exploring the TCLTK package under R and try to load and use additional TCL libraries (under Windows, with TCL8.3). For example : > addTclPath("C:/TCL/lib/bwidget1.5") > tclRequire("BWidget") <Tcl> 1.5 Loading seems to work, but when I try to create a specific widget : # The main window appears correctly > top=tktoplevel() # Trying to insert a

Hi List, Can anyone tell me how could i put the "BACK" button in the following code, just under the "AAA" menu? I want this button to go back to the previous page, and since it has nothing to do with the "1" and "2" buttons, i want it somehow separated from these two buttons, but i don't know how. I searched the web for some examples but my results

The following gives an error message: library(tcltk) win <- list(env="A") tt <- tktoplevel() but <- tkbutton(tt, text="X", command=expression(tkdestroy(tt))) tkgrid(but) however, if one comments out the win line (and removes the win variable) then it works. It seems that tcltk is making use of a variable called win with a component name of env and I just happened

Hello companions!!! I have a function that creates a Radio Buttons, and I need that this function return the selected value in the Radio Buttons. I would like that, if somebody know as I could return the value, you say me as do it.

Hi, I am trying to run some simple tktcl code.... ## in a file called test.R require(tcltk) tt <- tktoplevel() OK.but <- tkbutton(tt,text="OK",command=function()tkdestroy(tt)) tkgrid(OK.but) tkfocus(tt) Using a batch file with the command Rterm < test.R > testOutput.Rout --slave The GUI pops up but then disappears.

Hi, I am trying to create a drop-down combobox in R TclTk. The following works fine for a ListBox but fails for a combobox: ################# THIS WORKS FINE - CREATES AN EMPTY LISTBOX ## tt<-tktoplevel() win <- .Tk.subwin(tt) .Tcl(paste("listbox",.Tk.ID(win),.Tcl.args())) tkpack(win) ################## THIS FAILS - ATTEMPTS TO CREATE A COMBOBOX ## tt<-tktoplevel() win

Hello, I am using R 2.11.1 under Windows XP. I would like to know if its possible to use a function with arguments as a command in tcl tk. For example require(tcltk) PressedOK <- function() { tkmessageBox(message="You pressed OK!") } tt <- tktoplevel() OK.but <- tkbutton(tt,text="OK",command=PressedOK) tkgrid(OK.but) tkfocus(tt) the function PressedOK has no

I've been able to figure out on my own how to do what I need in the largely undocumented tcltk package, but I've finally hit a wall. I can't even think of any sufficiently specific search terms to use for this. I'm trying to make the widgets in my tk window resize when the window is resized by clicking and dragging on its corners or edges. Instead they stay exactly where they

Hello, I have a problem with a tklistbox. The user should be able to choose one out of two calculation methods needed for further calculations. My r-script for that purpose looks like that: require(tcltk) tt<-tktoplevel() tl<-tklistbox(tt,height=4,selectmode="single",background="white") tkgrid(tklabel(tt,text="select method for LAI

Dear experts, I am trying to understand why is it that when I paste (into the R console) the following code to select an option from a list: require(tcltk) tt<-tktoplevel() tl<-tklistbox(tt,height=ntx,selectmode="single",background="white") tkgrid(tklabel(tt,text="Select the legend of" )) tkgrid(tl) treatments<<-levels.tx for(i in

Hi I am trying to insert a jpeg into a widget I have created. I have used this link http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/~wettenhall/RTclTkExamples/showImage.html to display a jpeg inside a newly created widget but would like some info on how to insert into a pre existing widget. This is my code below for my first widget. tt<-tktoplevel() fontHeading2 <-
