Thu Jan 31 12:16:22 MST 2002 - [GPS]: I looked at the various ways in which people modify bindings to make a read only text widget and came up with the code below.  The nice thing about this vs. the [Read-only text widget] page is that it doesn't require a modified file -- it does it all in memory.

  #!/bin/wish8.3

  proc copyBindingClass {class newClass} {
	set bindingList [bind $class]
	#puts $bindingList

	foreach binding $bindingList {
		bind $newClass $binding [bind Text $binding]
	}
  }

  proc removeBindingsFromClass {class removeList} {
	foreach item $removeList {
		bind $class <$item> {}
	}
  }

  pack [text .t]
  .t insert end "Hello World"

  copyBindingClass Text Text.t

  bindtags .t ".t Text.t all"

  removeBindingsFromClass Text.t [list KeyPress Delete BackSpace Meta-Key-Delete \
