I have already covered the retrieval from the listbox in another thread.
You can set the entry box contents like this:

NameOfStringForEntryboxContents = StringVar()

Then in your definition of the Entry box, add in:

textvariable = NameOfStringForEntryboxContents

and when you have retreived the listbox entry:

NameOfStringForEntryboxContents.set(NameOfStringWi thListboxStuff)

and it will appear in your entry field...

| TclError: bad listbox index "": must be active, anchor, end, @x,y, or a

|
| ...which index I must write to listbox get just clicked row.

Just use the print statement to see what is going on - use :

print idx

after getting the idx with the curselection - it must be the number of the row
that
was clicked
