use this one maybe:

use Tk::BrowseEntry;
$b = $frame->BrowseEntry(-label => "Label", -variable => $var);
$b->insert("end", "opt1"
$b->insert("end", "opt2"
$b->insert("end", "opt3"
...
$b->pack;
...
....

Once again, it would probably be best to note that matrix187's solution is for Perl/Tk, not Tcl/Tk. I certainly don't want to downplay his contributions to the group, but most of the discussion on this board involves Tcl and its extensions, whereas Perl/Tk is discussed more on the Perl forum.

As to SriHariPriya's question, there is no native Tcl/Tk combobox at this time. To add a combobox to your application, you'll need to use a Tcl extension. You've actually got a variety of choices, as many Tcl megawidget packages implement their own versions of a combobox. You can get pointers to these at the Tcl'ers Wiki (

http://wiki.tcl.tk),

specifically the page

http://mini.net/tcl/1959.html.

Of the ones listed, I would probably recommend the ones provided by Bwidgets (

http://mini.net/tcl/1519.html)

or the one implemented by Bryan Oakley (

as they are pure-Tcl extensions (no compiling required) and have no other dependencies. - Ken Jones, President
