jeld the last one,


We saw both posts.


In a Tkinter entry field (or Pmw entry)
how could I eat charactres?


create a binding on the widget for the particular character you want to treat specially. If you want to suppress that character, return the string "break" from the binding. Example:

from Tkinter import *
t = Tkinter.Tk()
e = Tkinter.Entry(t); e.pack()
e.bind("x", lambda event: "break")

Thanks, that helps. But after noticing an'&' I want to 'disappear' All characters form the field. But I need to process those characters in the event handler. I've already bound '<Key'> to inputevent. Are you saying if I just do: return 'break' from inputevent the characters will never see light?

I'll try it.
