Perl Tk Naming Conventionby Dirk80 (Pilgrim) |

Dirk80 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Hi, I've seen that there is a naming convention for the widgets of perl tk: Unsolicited Advice (Mastering Perl Tk). But is there also a naming convention for hierarchical widgets? For example I have a notebook widget with several tabs. And in a tab I use a frame and in this frame is another frame and then there is a button. If I just name this button "blah_b" for example it is not enough because I could have a button with the same purpose in another frame. So I would like to give it a name which signals that it is inside this tab, frame, ... My idea was to do this with a prefix. Another idea would be to do this with a hash which represents the hierarchial structure of the GUI. So the name would represent the hierarchial structure of the GUI. But if I want to move this button from one place to another then I would have to change the name. So I'm very interested how you handle this problem. At the moment I have no prefix or hash used to name the widgets. But now I really get confused when I'm creating a bigger GUI with perl tk. Thank you Dirk
