dialog 1

[stewang]

Hello all:
Do anyone known how to pop up a dialog box for the user to select all and one file from a folder

At the movement, my coding just can pop up a dialog box for the user to select one file from folder.

I am using a linux now, I add the -option with -multiple, but it doesn't do nothing. Would anyone known the option for linux.

menu .mbar

. configure -menu .mbar

menu .mbar.file -tearoff 0

.mbar add cascade -label "File" -underline 0    -menu .mbar.file

.mbar.file add command -label "Open" -underline 0    -command openFile

proc openFile {} {
 set filename [tk_getOpenFile]     
    set thefile [open $filename r -multiple 1]       
    set filecontent [read $thefile]       
    close $thefile       
}

The tk_getOpenFile -multiple option was added in Tcl/Tk 8.4. Note that -multiple is not an option for the open command, just the tk_getOpenFile command. Its use is:

set fileList [tk_getOpenFile -multiple 1]

You would then need to iterate through the list of file names returned, probably by using a foreach loop.

stewang, do you have a book on Tcl/Tk programming? Many of the questions you ask here you could easily find the answers to with a good Tcl/Tk book. And Tcl's online documentation is a good resource as well. With a quick check of the tk_getOpenFile and open reference pages, you could have discovered the proper use of the -multiple option.
