Hi I'm totally new on python and I'm doing an assignement where I'm doing a class that manipulates a text. The program is also supposed to have a GUI, for which I have used tkinter. So far I have entry widgets for file names and buttons, its all working like I want it to. What is missing is a way to output the changes to the text. I was thinking that a text-widget would be suitable. Is there a reasonably easy way to do this? I tried inserting a string to the textwidget and letting the class method change this string, but the inserted string isn't updated in the text-widget.
If that is a direct Python string, then you're not changing the string. Python strings are immutable. So, then you're at most changing which string a variable or attribute is referring to.
However, if it is some Tkinter thing (I seem to recall that Tkinter offers some automatic update magic via something-something), then I don't know.
Would be very happy for any hints.
Just update the widget whenever you change the text. Cheers & hth., - Alf -- blog at <url: http://alfps.wordpress.com> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
