Re: [R] tcltk crashing R after the (ab)use of tkwait
library(tcltk) tt - tktoplevel() done - tclVar(0) but - tkbutton(tt, text=OK, command=function() tclvalue(done) - 1) tkpack(but) tkwait.variable(done) works as fine as long as I click the OK. However, if I close the window (by clicking in the X), R enters into an infinite loop and there's no way of returning except by closing the R window. I have the same pbm with R 1.5.0 on Window XP Home SP2. I think it's doing what it's supposed to, ie. waiting for done==1, just that this never happens. I've stopped using tkwait.variable for just this reason, and use tkwait.window(tt). You have to be careful to recover the variables you need before closing the window, so the function attached to the 'OK' button should take care of that before calling tkdestroy. (See http://www.nabble.com/Dropdown-boxes-in-tcltk-and-R-tf3751327.html#a10603161) Variables can be created in .GlobalEnv with - which will be availble after the function exits. See also how Greg Snow uses a purpose-built environment in his 'TeachingDemos' package.

[R] tcltk crashing R after the (ab)use of tkwait
Running this: library(tcltk) tt - tktoplevel() done - tclVar(0) but - tkbutton(tt, text=OK, command=function() tclvalue(done) - 1) tkpack(but) tkwait.variable(done) works as fine as long as I click the OK. However, if I close the window (by clicking in the X), R enters into an infinite loop and there's no way of returning except by closing the R window. Why? What am I doing wrong?

So better tell us about the details of your operating system.
