http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/folders/james/tkEmbed/
-----------------------------------------------------
placing the Tk widgets in IE has been simplified by using the TclControl activeX.
Using the IE version 6.0, I have found it to be the most stable...
TclControl can be found at:
http://www.sys.uea.ac.uk/~fuzz/optcl/default.html
I have made little to no changes to many Tcl/Tk apps that can run within the IE window...
Yes you still need to have a copy of Tcl/Tk installed (but so does java requires a VM to be resident)...
Of coarse you need to worry about security issues by allowing the activeX to access Tcl...

----
The point of TclScript is to plug in the Tcl '''language''' as an IE extension.
This would mean that IE would be able to parse pages with the following type of script code:
<script language="TclScript">
package require base64
proc encode_text {str} {
return [base64::encode $str]
}
proc show_dialog {message} {
toplevel .dlg
....
}
</script>
<form ....>
This isn't quite the same as the ActiveX component which has more to do with placing a Tk toplevel widget onto the browser window and processing Tcl script within itself.
Of course at present (Jan 2002) TclScript remains vapour-ware (or maybe liquid-ware as there is code, it's just not useable :) ) but I hope to find the time to continue at some point this year. [PT]

[NEM] '''19May2003''' - Here's a quick example of embedding an application into a Tk widget using [BLT]'s container and bgexec commands. The application being embedded in this case is Vim running in an Eterm under Linux. I tried quickly to get this working with xterm, but I couldn't, whereas Eterm played nicely.
package require Tk
package require BLT
# Create a unique name for the new process
set name "EmbedTk[pid][clock seconds]"
eval blt::bgexec wait [list Eterm -n $name -e vi] $argv
pack [blt::container .c -name $name] -fill both
wm title . "Vim running in Tk"
# Wait for app to exit (could use trace + callback here)
vwait wait
destroy .
This allows you to embed the program based on its name. The reason for using bgexec is that we need a method of detecting when the application has finished (yet it needs to run in the background), so that we can destroy the widget or do whatever. BTW, to use with xterm you have to change the "-n" switch to "-name". However, for some reason, this still didn't work. Note that resizing the widget won't resize the embedded window, so don't pack with -expand 1.
