How do i clear the elements of a textbox in perl/tk.

[Aparna Shree]

hi,
i m building a GUI using perl/tk and i have a reset button which is supposed to clear the elements of a text box but does not seem to be doing so.
$txt2-> delete('1.0','end');
this code says cannot call method delete....
is there a problem with this statement????????

A Tk::Text object does have a delete method, but are you actually working on such an object? Can't say for sure without seeing your code.

its actually a simple text box for entry of elements.........but the reset button is supposed to clear that box but is giving an error........any idea???????

Once again, can't say anything without seeing your code and knowing exactly what the error is you're getting.

Good luck.

use Tk::Text ;
#............
my $txt2 = $mw1 -> Text(-width=>40, -height=>10) -> pack();
my $reset = $mw1 -> Button(-text=>"Reset", -command =>\&reset9) -> pack();
#.................
sub reset9 {
$txt2-> delete('1.0','end');
};
