New top level entry window

[AndoSam]

Hi,

I have created a program that opens up a new toplevel on a button press with additional options.
This new window has an entry widget that I would like to get the value out using:

toplevel .newWindow
.......<other code>........
set choice [.newWindow.choiceEntry]

Where <topLevelPath> is the name of top level created on the button press.
However, when this is run I get the error message ".newWindow.choiceEntry is an invalid command"

Any help would be much appreciated

If you want to scrape the text that's in the entry:

.newWindow.choiceEntry get

Much better I think is to assign a textvariable to the entry when it's created:

entry .newWindow.choiceEntry -textvariable varName

Then $varName is always "in the know".
