Re^7: Getting selection from Tkx text

[dabella12]

Here is my code

use Tkx;
use Tkx::FindBar;
use strict;
use warnings;
my $name;
my $mw=Tkx::widget->new('.');
my $text=$mw->new_text(-width=>20,height=>10);
my $findbar=$mw->new_tkx_FindBar(-textwidget=>$text);
foreach(qw/David Mary William/) {
    $text->insert('end',"$_\n");
}
$findbar->g_pack();
$text-g_pack();
$findbar->show();
$text->g_bind('<Return>',sub{$name=$text->get(qw/sel.first sel.last);p
+rint "The name is $name\n"});

Well that doesn't compile Can't find string terminator "/" anywhere before EOF at blah.pl line 15.

Even if I were to fix that typo, the typos just keep going

Try again please

Sorry the command should have read

$text->g_bind('<Return>',sub{$name=$text->get(qw/sel.first sel.last/);
+print "The name is $name\n"});

Um, thats not the only typo. No matter, here is some working code

+-ce -nibc -i=4 -pt=0   "-nsak=*"

use Data::Dump qw/ dd pp/;

$Tkx::TRACE = 64;
use Tkx;
use Tkx::FindBar;

my $name;
my $mw   = Tkx::widget->new( '.' );
my $text = $mw->new_text(
    -width  => 20,
    -height => 10,
);
foreach( qw/David Mary William/ ) {
    $text->insert( 'end', "$_\n" );
}

my $findbar = $mw->new_tkx_FindBar( -textwidget => $text, );

$mw->g_bind( '<Control-f>' => [ \&Tkx::FindBar::show,     $findbar ], 
+);
$mw->g_bind( '<F3>'        => [ \&Tkx::FindBar::next,     $findbar ], 
+);
$mw->g_bind( '<Shift-F3>'  => [ \&Tkx::FindBar::previous, $findbar ], 
+);
$mw->g_bind( '<Return>', \&fudge, );

$findbar->g_pack();
$text->g_pack();

$findbar->show();

Tkx::MainLoop();

sub fudge {
    dd( \@_ );
    dd [ $text->m_tag_configure( 'highlight' ) ];
    $name = $text->get( qw/highlight.first highlight.last/ );

    dd [ $text->tag( qw' ranges highlight' ) ];
    $text->m_tag_add( 'sel', qw/highlight.first highlight.last/ );
    $text->g_focus;    ## g_focus is g_focus not m_focus
    $findbar->hide;
} ## end sub fudge
