[TCL/TK interface] Passing variable to TCL/TK
Hi, I am trying to sent to a variable to tcl/tk and unify there it with a string. I wrote the prolog code: :- use_module(library(tcltk)). :- use_package(classic). go(A):- tk_new([name('Simple')], Tcl), tcl_eval(Tcl, 'source simple2.tcl', _), tcl_eval(Tcl, ['ask', br(write(A))], _), tk_main_loop(Tcl), tcl_delete(Tcl). and the tcl file simple2.tcl proc ask {var} { unify_term $var my_value } unfortunatelly when I query for go(S). the interpeter goes into a loop (!?). Where I am wrong. Are there any example code somewhere i...

Opening a TCL program from within another TCL program in ANSYS Tcl-Tk
Hi everyone, I have been pulling my hair with this one for a couple of days and still have not found a fix. I'm working within ANSYS Tcl-Tk implementation. I created a Tcl-Tk script that generates a simple window with three buttons. Each button opens another window which is created in a separate Tcl file. The second window have a lot of text entries, variables, procedures, etc. I can open the second Tcl file by itself and everything works as supposed, but when I open it using the button in the first window, it opens but any procedure called by the widgets on the second window are not found... Here's the deal... Since I'm working within the ANSYS implementation of Tcl-Tk, I'm actually using an ANSYS command to open the second window. The command I use is: ### ans_sendcommand ~eui,'source O:/mad_projects_2/ANSYS/Macros/ IBR_CAS.tcl' ### It actually sends a command back to ANSYS telling it to execute a Tcl command... I know this is not pretty but its the only way i was able to make it at least show the window. ############################## #Main Tcl (excerpt): ############################## namespace eval Tools { proc IBRCambpell {} { #source O:/mad_projects_2/ANSYS/Macros/IBR_CAS.tcl ans_sendcommand ~eui,'source O:/mad_projects_2/ANSYS/Macros/ IBR_CAS.tcl' } proc viewManager {} { ans_sendcommand ~eui,'source O:/mad_projects_2/ANSYS/Macros/ ViewManager.tcl' } proc powerAnnotation {} { ans_sendcommand ~eui,'source ...

tcl-mq: POSIX Message Queues for Tcl. (Tcl package)
This is an announcement for a relatively new Tcl project: tcl-mp Tcl-mp is a Tcl interface to POSIX Message Queues*. It provides a Tcl package that allows scripts to create/open/close/unlink multiple parallel message queues, and to send/receive messages synchronously and asynchronously to/from them. * A POSIX message queue is an Inter-Process Communication mechanism available on Linux and some other POSIX-compliant operating systems. It allows to or more processes (or threads) to communicate under the same OS. The messages are buffered by the kernel, which gives them kernel persistency. A message queue can be thought of as a linked list of messages. Threads with adequate permission can put messages onto the queue, and threads with adequuate permission can remove messages from the queue. Each message is assigned a priority by the sender, and the oldest message of highest priority is always retrieved first. Unlike PIPES and FIFOS, no requirement exists that someone be waiting for a message to arrive on a queue, before some process writes a message to that queue. It's not even a requirement for both processes to exist at the same time.

ANNOUNCE: ADB and ADBSQL pure-tcl database engine for Tcl/Tk
Dear All, I'm happy to announce today the first release of adb/adbsql. ADB together with the MySQL database connectivity module adbsql are a Tcl/Tk package useful for Tcl/Tk programmers that want to store their data in a database-kind of way with tables and fields. Two (optional) features of ADB that may make it worthwhile for you: * Writing the database as XML output and later of course the ability to read it. * Connecting directly to a MySQL database. The fun part of ADB is that you can either use it as a full pure tcl library, or you can use these advanced features that require additional packages. Both modules are released under open source LGPL or BSD licenses (your pick) More information: http://wiki.tcl.tk/6319 - Tcl/Tk wiki page on ADB http://sourceforge.net/projects/adbsql/ - Sourceforge page (including download area) http://adbsql.sourceforge.net/adb.html - Manual page of ADB http://adbsql.sourceforge.net/adbsql.html - Manual page of ADBSQL Kind regards, Roalt Aalmoes ...

Komodo: Accessing widgets in the auto generated _ui.tcl from the associated .tcl file
I am using Komodo. I created a text widget and want to insert some text into it. The below is my ui.tcl file (ie. Dialog_ui.tcl). In my Dialog.tcl file I want to have access to the $base._text_log widget, so I can insert text into it. For eg. I've tried: ::Dialog::._text_log insert end "hello world!" And other variations, but have not succeeded. This seems to be something trivial, but I can't seem to figure it out. I also tried to get to the BASE variable, but was also unsuccessful.

windows tcl/tk bug does not appear under Wine
I posted about this four days ago without a response so I'm reposting in the hope that somebody understands what is going on. I sent a friend a Starpack so that he could test a program under MS Windows. When he ran it, he encountered the old bug in which assigning a hexadecimal number like 0xFF to a scale variable (not "scalar", but the variable named in the -variable option of a scale widget) fails because 0xFF is interpreted as non- numeric. I've encountered this before and fixed it (by using decimal), but evidently hadn't changed it here. The MS Windows runtime I used turned out to be tcl 8.4.9, so it makes sense that the bug would turn up when running the Starpack but not on my Linux systems since they have 8.4.14 or later. The weird thing is that when I run the same Starpack under Linux using Wine I get no such error. I don't see how that is possible. The Tcl that is running under Wine is 8.4.9, not the later Linux version, so the bug should appear when running under Wine just as it does on a real Windows system. Does anyone understand how this could happen? billposer@alum.mit.edu wrote: > I sent a friend a Starpack so that he could test a program under MS > Windows.

[Tcl/Tk Community] We need *urgent* advertisement among CS students about Tcl in GSoC 2009
Hi! I'm Tomasz Kosiak. This year I have an honor to officially serve as an administrator for Tcl/Tk Community involvement in Google Summer of Code 2009 program. I would like to ask all broad Tcl community members to help us reach students worldwide and encourage them to apply for a summer scholarship. If you have never heard of Google Summer of Code (aka GSoC) it is a Google, Inc. sponsored initiative to fund aproximately 1000 student scholarship $4500 each for coding during a summer for ideas freely chosen by approved open-source organization. Tcl/Tk community is approved again by Google this year (second time). We seek opportunities to advertise among CS students our GSoC project ideas. That is why I have prepared one slide info about Tcl/Tk and GSoC. This e-mail can be freely forwarded directly to prospective students or to your fellow university teachers so they can show this slide for their students. The goal is to reach students worldwide willing to apply to Tcl/Tk as mentoring organization. See Tcl/Tk GSoC 2009 in a pill at http://tinyurl.com/tcl-gsoc2009 and this is the only URL students shall write down to get started. Official news about Tcl/Tk GSoC 2009 is at http://www.tcl.tk/gsoc/ and http://wiki.tcl.tk/22182. We, Tcl mentors and admins, are really willing to help students prepare their applications. This is what our community is fond of. As last year we *do* plan to act as umbrella organization for other Tcl-related projects like Tk, XOTcl, Expect, AO...
