open a file

[edwong]

Hi,
I have built a graphical interface (a search engine) using tk. I want to call my c++ function (for openning a file) when the graphical interface window appears, so the user can search for the words in the file.
How can I use binding to do that? Or any other methods will be appreciated

By far the easiest approach is to let SWIG build wrapper functions for your C/C++ library which exposes the functions as Tcl commands. Then it's just a matter of Tcl scripting, rather than writing C code. See the Tcl'ers Wiki (

http://wiki.tcl.tk)

page "Swig,"

If you prefer writing the interface code yourself, you might want to start you investigations with the page "How to write C-coded extensions for Tcl,"
