I'm not sure how to make a Tk GUI that guides the user through several steps and redraws the window on user input (remove the buttons/text and show the buttons for the next step etc.)

What you are looking for is packForget and it's associate methods. You can pack a window with widgets, packforget all or some of the widgets so they are removed from the screen, reconfigure the widgets, then repack them. A simple example:

#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use Tk; my $top = new MainWindow; my @counts = ('a'..'z'); my %cbuttons; my $frame = $top->Frame()->pack(); setup_page(); $top->Button(-text => "packForget", -command => sub{ my @w = $frame->packSlaves; foreach (@w) { $_->packForget; } })->pack(); $top->Button(-text => "repack", -command => sub{ &setup_page })->pack(); $top->Button(-text => "Exit", -command => sub {exit})->pack; MainLoop; sub setup_page{ for (1..4){ my $text = shift @counts; $cbuttons{$_}{'cb'} = $frame->Checkbutton( -text => $text, -variable => \$cbuttons{$_}{'val'}, -command => \&SetState, )->pack; } }

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
