Read text of a button.

[Syan]

Hello all,

If you make a button like this:

button .test$var1 -text $var1

and the variable var1 changes later in the script, is there a way to still use the value of var1 on that button?

So what i really want to know, how can I read the value of -text of a button??

Thnx

You can find out the current value of any widget attribute with the widget's cget operation. Thus, you could say:

set latest [.button1 cget -text]
