Do you mean selecting an existing file from your directory? This feature is included in Tcl/Tk, just use the command tk_getOpenFile like the following example: set selectedFile [tk_getOpenFile -initialdir /usr] this will pop up a dialog where you can select the desired file. hope this will help ----------------------------------------------- Gerhard Thanner Umweltbundesamt - Federal Environment Agency Spittelauer Lände 5, A-1090 Wien, Austria Tel.: +43-1-31304-5352, Fax: +43-1-31304-5301 EMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ubavie.gv.at/ -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Georges BACHELIER [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet am: Montag, 21.

Now I would like to add a navigator or a file selector to allow the user to select a file from a file hierarchy. This widget does not exist in the vtcl widgets palette. What should I do to make the instanciation of a file selector possible? There is probably something to declare like "package require xxx" but where should I declare this? And what to do afterwards? How do I instantiate the new widget within vtcl?
