[GiDlist] How to ask something to user in Tcl

[Guy HUBERT]

In my tcl file, i need to ask a filename to my user ?

I try tkFDialog :

set filename [tkFDialog \
-title "Load Database" \
-initialdir $dirproj \
-filetypes {{{Mesh files} {.mail}}}]

but when executing, Gid is blocked, and no window appears.

A second question :
It is possible to ask question and to read answer on command line in tcl
file ?

Thanks

the procedure tkFDialog is moved to a namespace in the last tcl/tk releases.

Best, can use the GiD tcl procedure Browser-ramR.
For example, to open a file with *.txt extension, use:

set filename [Browser-ramR file read .gid "Read text file" {} {{{text file} {.txt}} {{All files} {.*}}} ]
if {$filename == ""} {
return
}

To ask a question or show a message in the "lower message bar", can put your own text with:
::GidUtils::SetWarnLine $text
but to return a answer from the GiD command line to a tcl user procedure, instead to
internally process by GiD, it's not easy.
