Re^2: perltk: error getting values from dynamically generated combo boxes

[ruhroh]

The problem is that:

$field_id = $listb$listb_index -> curselection();

only returns a value if it is retrieving a value from the last listbox created. Otherwise, it will return a value "". I have been looking at the documentation for listbox from: http://search.cpan.org/~srezic/Tk-804.030/pod/Listbox.pod . But I don't know why my script can't retrieve the values from the first created listbox.

UPDATE: I did a check to see if the previous listboxes existed by just doing a get(0). They all print out dog as expected.

So the problem is why doesn't curselection not work on the old listboxes and only the most recently "added" listbox?

I tried to look back where your $listb is coming from. (needs a better name BTW - I've no idea what it is for) and it got confusing pretty quick.

I suggest regenerating your indentation with perltidy, and taking a closer look at @content and the repeated ties. I'm not familiar with tie, but I'd guess that you're making a giant knot out of all your gui elements there.
