How about the following

<code>
require 'tk'
top   = TkRoot.new
var   = TkVariable.new
entry = TkEntry.new(top, :state=>'readonly', 
                         :textvariable=>var).grid(:row=>0, :column=>0)
TkButton.new(top, :text=>'Convert', 
                  :command=>proc{var.value = 'hi'}).grid(:row=>1, :column=>0)

Tk.mainloop
</code>
