Re: [ltk-user] :textvariable

can you tell me why you want to specify the name of the text variable for labels?

to implement a statusbar and have the text change when necessary. Right now I'm using something like: (defun statusbar-update (text) (format-wish "set text_statusbar { ~a}" text)) (defun statusbar-clean () (format-wish "set text_statusbar {}")) Initially I thought I needed to pass a lisp variable to :textvariable and it'd be mapped to the variable in -textvariable. Is that the wrong way to approach it? Pedro
