I have a simple editor built into my visual parser. It has a File menu with typical New, Open, Save, Save As ... options. I now know how to set the options [en/dis]abled and how to check the Text widget's modified flag.
Now I want to [en/dis]able those options. Can I ask the text to notify me when the modified flag changes? Can I set the statuses when the user clicks File, before the options are displayed? Do I need to create a checker on an independent thread that looks at the flag every few millis? (Tkinter deserves more respect. I've got a good-looking application growing quickly.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
