I have a TkText widget, and an input field. The text widget is disabled so that the user can't type into it. However, I need to be able to put text into the widget (ouput from a MUD =D). The only way I can find to stop the user from editing is 'state(:disabled)', which disabled me from putting text in as well. Thus, I have to do text.state(:normal) text.insert(...) text.state(:disabled) but then comes anotehr problem! When it is disabled, the text inside isn't selectable/copyable! Any help? -- Tim -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
