in reply to Dynamic re-pack widget

That is actually what I ended up doing for now, but it is an imperfect solution for an imperfect world. I bound each of my sliders to a subroutine that basically handles setting the label where it belongs on mouse-over.

What is really driving me batty is this seems to be some sort of update snag. It may have something to do with Notebook. My sliders are on one notebook page and my changes are being made on another.

I tried binding the notebook tabs themselves, so that when a user clicked back over to my slider page, the changes would be updated. What is really weird is that this worked, but only if you click to the slider tab, then click that tab again.

It is like the updates are not effected until they are called from the notebook tab they need to be effecting. Very annoying. Not even set() is taking effect.

For now this works, but I know I will bash my brains against this one until I can figure it out. I will try and post some code later this afternoon when I get back to it.
