Re: How do I get the current widget in focus without changing focus?

My suggestion would be to look at focus_displayof() instead of focus_get()

thank u to all

i'm still learning how everything works, and i'm still very much a newbe,..

I tried this:

w= app['info']['name'].displayof()
      w.insert(INSERT, w.selection_get() )

and got the following error:

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python25\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1403, in __call__
    return self.func(*args)
  File "C:\Python25\prg\bs1.py", line 258, in _paste
    w= app['info']['name'].displayof()
AttributeError: Entry instance has no attribute 'displayof'

I appreciate all your patience and help,... i really am stuck,... I am self taught and also the only person in my life and family who has any interest in programming.. so hearing from you all was a real ray of hope 4 me :$

Re: How do I get the current widget in focus without changing focus?

Wrap your code in code tags:
[code=python] # Code here

[/code]

please elaborate,

the snippet above looks like <html> ... I'm useing python's IDLE

please leave an example :)

app.clipboard_append( app.selection_get() )


elif app.select_present():
if app.focus_get():
app.clipboard_clear()
app.clipboard_append( app.selection_get() )
