pass an event up to parent widget

I have a Tkinter (frame) widget that contains several other frame
widgets, each containing entry widgets. In the parent frame I have a
'save' button that is initially disabled. As it is now, each widget has
a hasChanged property that I can poll to see if updates to the source
data need to be made. hasChanged is set to True by an event routine in
each frame widget, and this works fine for my exit routine which knows
to poll each widget for hasChanged. What I don't know how to do is send
an event up the chain to the top so it can change the 'save' button to
NORMAL (telling the user 'The data has been changed and can be saved if
wanted') . I don’t think bind_class() to all entry widgets is the way
to go. I could create an after() alarm callback to poll hasChanged, but
again this seems to awkward. I have looked at widget.event_ad d() but,
don't know if this is viable. I am thinking a virtual event without any
SEQUENCE, and then triggering it programmaticall y (from within the
sub-widget event handlers). Is that doable? Isn't there a better way?
Any suggestions?

I'm still trying to fully understand how best to pass variables between pages/usercontrols/each other. On a current site I've done, I've had one userControl do the logic and set the variable, and then I had other usercontrols simply read this by traversing the class structure: siteClass.userControlClass.specficVariable. That worked fine. The new site I'm working on is a bit different, as I'm using multiple

Greetings, For user actions on a wxWidget that trigger multiple events for that wxWidget, is the order those events are processed in undefined, and therefore arbitrary from one platform (ie Windows) to the next (ie Linux)? Specifically, I have a convience aggregate class that combines a wxStaticText with a wxComboBox, as I often need those two at the same time. The aggregate catches events from the wxComboBox

Hello. When I tried to make Tkinter canvas widget respond to MouseWheel event on Windows XP, I failed. The canvas just doesn't receive MouseWheel event. I used bind_all to find out which widget receives this event and the result showed that only the top Tk widget gets it. This is really annoying. I wonder if this problem exists on other platform. I googled, but found no appliable solution, so I wrote one as following. It's not perfect,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
