Thank you very much for your solution. It works for regular X events also.
It never occurred to me that the argument to bind could be anything
but a procedure name.
Quoting peter dalgaard <pda...@gmail.com>:
This is in the obscure corners of the tcltk interface, as I am sure
you already realized...
I'm not even sure whether the "+" in bind .... +script is
syntactically an operator or part of the command.
However, it is usually not right to define named functions on the
Tcl side and mix them with the ones R/Tcl interface generate.
So I am thinking that if tkbind('all','<<EVENT>>',evresp1) works,
then to add evresp2, you just need to get a "+" into whatever the
evresp2 gets converted to.
And...
tkbind('all','<<EVENT>>',evresp1)
<Tcl>
tkbind('all','<<EVENT>>',paste0("+", .Tcl.callback(evresp2)))
<Tcl>
tkevent.generate(wtop,'<<EVENT>>',data='abcdef')
evresp1 abcdef
evresp2 abcdef
<Tcl>
tkbind('all','<<EVENT>>')
<Tcl> R_call 0x7f9769c764b0 %d
R_call 0x7f9769c79978 %d
-pd
PS. To answer my own question: yes, the "+" is part of the command
because this does not work:
tkbind('all','<<EVENT>>',"+", evresp2)
Error in structure(.External(.C_dotTclObjv, objv), class = "tclObj") :
[tcl] wrong # args: should be "bind window ?pattern? ?command?".

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"
### 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
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?
