Set an internal state variables "isChanged" based on the Text callback and only modify the menu if the variable is set. It's trickier to detect "significant" changes vs insigificant ones. Personally I would not bother to go that far. -- Russell -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Actually, it looks like that will overdo it. I'll be setting File/Save to enabled after every keystroke. Ideally, I'd like to set my statuses when the user clicks the File option or types Alt-F. This makes me wonder if there's a "mixin" that could find this event. Hmmm. Alternatively, could modify this code to NOT reset the modified flag, so I only get called on the first modification.

Tkinter: Missing the last piece of the puzzle
I have a simple editor built into my visual parser. It has a File menu with typical New, Open, Save, Save As ... options. I now know how to set the options [en/dis]abled and how to check the Text widget's modified flag. Now I want to [en/dis]able those options. Can I ask the text to notify me when the modified flag changes? Can I set the statuses when the user clicks File, before the options are displayed? Do I need to create a checker on an independent thread that looks at the flag every few millis? (Tkinter deserves more respect. I've got a good-looking application growing quickly.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
