Grabbing a file name

[WaltS]

I an using an [itcl] fileselectionbox so that I can run a command on it. My question is how do I grab the name of the file to pass it along to my command

proc checkInFile { } {
global cs env userID
dialog .checkin -modality application -title {check In Files}

set cs [frame [.checkin childsite].f]
fileselectionbox $cs.fsd1 -directory /home/$userID/Working/
grid $cs.fsd1
grid $cs

.checkin buttonconfigure Help -text "Check New" -command ???I_have_no_clue???
.checkin activate
}

According to the fileselectionbox documentation, its get operation returns the file currently selected (that is, currently displayed in the entryfield). Most likely, you'll need to create another procedure that retrieves the fileselectionbox contents and processes it, then register that procedure as the -command callback.

As another suggestion, have you considered using the [ignore][incr Widgets][/ignore] fileselectiondialog instead of assembling your own? - Ken Jones, President
