Re^2: Tk preventing a char in Entry widged to trigger a KeyBinding

[choroba]

It still prints the message when I press ? inside the entry. The following works for me, though:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

use Tk;

my $mw = MainWindow->new->geometry("100x100+799+336");

my $entry = $mw->Entry( -text => '',
                        -width => 20
)->pack();
$entry->bind('<KeyRelease-question>' => sub { Tk->break });
$mw->bind(   '<KeyRelease-question>' => sub { print "? was pressed!\n"
+ });
$mw->Entry->pack;

MainLoop();

Thanks choroba,

your example works correctly, or well, it works as I desire. But this imply to collect all entries as named instances, ie my $entry_first = $mw->Entry... my $entry_second = $mw->Entry

It is too much work for me! maybe i'll try to bind all Tk::Entry class to Tk->break for all my defined bindings.

I was not aware of the possibility to bind to an entire class, nor about Tk->break

Incidentally my $mw = MainWindow->new->geometry("100x100+799+336"); gives me an undefined value at line 9. On my Tk version i needed a more verbose statement my $mw = MainWindow->new(); $mw->geometry("100x100+799+336");

Interesting - it doesn't print the message for me when the cursor is in the entry field.
