I am working on a Find Text dialog box. Once you find a string in a
Text widget, how do you at least move the cursor to that index
(position)? Even better how can one 'select' the string one finds?
---code---
def searchText():
while 1:
pos = self.mainEdit.s earch(findStrin g.get(), 1.0,
stopindex=END)
if not pos:
break
print pos
start = pos + "+1c"
break
---end code---
thanks,
Harlin Seritt

widget.mark_set (INSERT, pos)

widget.tag_add( SEL, pos, endpos)
to remove an existing selection, use
widget.tag_remo ve(SEL, 1.0, END)

Frederik,
Thanks! Just looking at your site (effbot and pythonware). I don't know
what I'd do without it!
Cheers,
Harlin

As you add more items, say text lines, in Text widget, it gets too
slow and almost impractical to use on. Take idle for example. If the
text gets bigger(e.g. print
urllib.urlopen('http://www.amazon.com').read() ), it becomes too
sluggish to use as an "interactive" shell.
I have tried wxPython and it seems to have the same problem (from my
experience using PyCrust).
Is there any way to speed up Text widget, or should I look for another

While setting up some unit tests, I came to the conclusion that a
Tkinter Text widget can never be empty, but will always (?) contain a
\n. Here is a brief example:
>>> import Tkinter
>>> t = Tkinter.Text()
>>> t.get(0.0, Tkinter.END)
'\n'
>>> t.delete(0.0, Tkinter.END)
>>> t.get(0.0, Tkinter.END)

Hello All,
I would like for a tkinter text widget to be aware of how big the frame that
contains it is, then I would like for it to reset its width to the
appropriate number of characters when this frame changes size.
I can get a cget("width") for the text, but this does not dynamically reflect
the visible width.
One way I can think of is getting the size of the font used in the widget then

Is there a simple way to cut and paste from a tkinter text widget to an
entry widget? I know I could create a mouse button event that triggers
a popup (message widget) prompting for cut/paste in each of the widgets
using a temp variable to hold the text, but I don't wnat to reinvent the
wheel if there already is something that does the job.
Thanks,

This may be really obscure, but I had a dream about programming
something like this, so don't blame me. Is it possible to take a small
image or icon and display it as a character in a Tk text box? Think
how Thunderbird displays text smilies as actual smiley icons. Or how
in AIM as you type a smiley, it replaces it with the picture. Does
anyone know how to display these specifically in a Tk text box? Thanks.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
