Hi,

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears to me that the only types we can pass through GuiInterface/GuiContext are:

typedef GuiSingle<string> GuiString;
typedef GuiSingle<double> GuiDouble;
typedef GuiSingle<int> GuiInt;
typedef GuiTriple<Point> GuiPoint;
typedef GuiTriple<Vector> GuiVector;

Here's my problem:  I want to use a Tcl/Tk listbox widget in my SCIRun GUI
http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TkCmd/listbox.htm

Note that listbox -listvariable lets you bind a list to the widget so that when the contents of the list changes,
the contents of the widget are automatically updated (like 'entry -textvariable' and 'button -textvariable').

My SCIRun GUI would work if I could update the contents of the list in the Tcl GUI from my C++ module.
In my module code, I can:
GuiString gui_child1_(ctx->subVar("gui_child(1)"));
GuiString gui_child2_(ctx->subVar("gui_child(2)"));
...
GuiString gui_child8_(ctx->subVar("gui_child(8)"));

And in my Tcl GUI code, I can:
set $this-gui_child_list [list [set $this-gui_child(1)] \
                                  [set $this-gui_child(2)] \
...
                                  [set $this-gui_child(8)]]
listbox <name> -listvariable $this-gui_child_list

IT ALMOST WORKS! If I could only either bind the array to the list through some other means than 'set'
(any Tcl wizards know how to do this?) or set the elements of the list through the SCIRun GuiInterface.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
