Well, I can't get this to happen. Instead I have a problem where I'm
*loosing* toplevel proc code from my vtcl file when I source a file
containing a procedure.
I'm using vTcl-1.08 with the latest non-beta TCL/TK on Linux (ie. not v8
or whatever). I can repeat the problem by doing the following:
1) create a file called include.tcl containing:
proc yyy {} {
puts "Hello"
}
2) start vTcl and create a new application
- create a toplevel window
- create a button in the window
At this point you can verify that the app can be saved, and re-opened ok.
3) edit the init proc and add:
source include.tcl
The same thing happens if I use:
uplevel #0 source include.tcl
4) save the application and re-open it. The toplevel window doesn't
appear.
5) edit the vtcl app file with another editor and remove the "source
include.tcl" line.
6) close (don't save) and re-open the app in vtcl. The toplevel window is
back again.
Repeating steps 3, 4, 5, and 6 always gives the same results.
If you save the app just before step 5 you will see that the toplevel
window proc and the call to the Window proc that creates it have been
removed from the vtcl file.
Contrary to what others are finding, I haven't found a situation where the
proc in include.tcl gets inserted within the vtcl file. Is this behaviour
dependent in some way on the content of the sourced file?
