But i have a question why can you just do a when for the opt_chosen variable to check it. I tried this and it didnt work. Also is the instance_variable_set saying that @shape is the variable and that opt_chosen is the value? Can instance_variable_set be used on pretty much any tkclass? and for me doing this would i have to do the same method or something like with a input box or just simply a TkVariable? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
