Here is some tcl/tk code I am trying to emulate in R.
Paste the following into wish
### begin tcl code
toplevel .wtop
proc evresp1 { data } { puts "evresp1 $data" }
proc evresp2 { data } { puts "evresp2 $data" }
bind all <<EVENT>> "evresp1 %d"
bind all <<EVENT>> "+evresp2 %d"
### end tcl code
Now paste
event generate .wtop <<EVENT>> -data abcdef
I see the output
evresp1 abcdef
evresp2 abcdef
Both evresp1 and evresp2 got called in response to the event and both
got the data.
Then paste the following into an R session
### begin R code
library(tcltk)
catn = function(...) { cat(...,'\n') }
wtop = tktoplevel()
evresp1 = function(d) { catn('evresp1',d) }
evresp2 = function(d) { catn('evresp2',d) }
tkbind('all','<<EVENT>>',evresp1)
.Tcl(paste('proc evresp2 { d } { ', .Tcl.callback(evresp2),'}'))
.Tcl('bind all <<EVENT>> "+evresp2 %d"')
### end R code
The .Tcl() calls are necessary (as far as I can tell) to get the
effect of 'bind all <<EVENT>> "+evresp2 %d"' ,i.e. appending evresp2
Now paste
tkevent.generate(wtop,'<<EVENT>>',data='abcdef')
I see output
evresp1 abcdef
evresp2 %d
Both evresp1 and evresp2 got called but only evresp1 got the data right.
How can I fix this?
