event binding and component.confi g

[Scott Holmes]

I'm experiencing what seems to be strange behaviour. I don't know if
it's Pmw, Tkinter on Python. I have a button, defined in a
Pmw.buttonbox, that I would like to configure to "sunken" after it has
been clicked/released. Using the example style coding:

self.buttonBox1 .add('Add', command = self.addCalenda r)

the button remains "sunken". If I bind the event:

self.buttonBox1 .add('Add')
self.buttonBox1 .component('Add ').bind('<Butto nRelease-1>',
self.addCalenda rBind)
self.buttonBox1 .component('Add ').bind('<KeyRe lease-Return>',
self.addCalenda rBind)

the button reverts to "raised". The addCalendar and addCalendarBind are
still essentially stub functions:

def addCalendarBind (self,event):
self.addCalenda r()

def addCalendar(sel f):
global prog_mode
self.clearCalen dar()
prog_mode = 'add'
self.buttonBox1 .component('Add ').config(relie f='sunken')
self.buttonBox1 .component('Com mit').config(re lief='raised')
self.buttonBox1 .component('Upd ate').config(re lief='flat')
self.buttonBox1 .component('Del ete').config(re lief='flat')
self.buttonBox1 .component('Que ry').config(rel ief='flat')

If you want something that allows a user to select a particular mode
and then to display that mode until it is changed - use
Pmw.RadioButton instead of trying to hack Pmw.ButtonBox. I think this
will do exactly what you want.
