My question is with editendcommand. I’m using this option for editing
a cell with a checkbox in it. If the user changes/toggles the
checkbutton box, I would like to immediately save the contents of the
tablelist file as soon as the user moves the cursor out of that cell.
I wanted to do this with the call to the editendcommand. The problem
is the editendcommand does not write the changed value of the checkbox
to the contents of the tablelist until the procedure is finished. Is
there a recommended simple way to do this? I guess I could add
another button in the window to “save to file” but I didn’t really
want to do that. Any suggestions for tips would be appreciated.
Thank you.

widget's contents *directly* from within the editendcommand is not the
right solution. On the other hand, you can use the editendcommand to
*schedule* your save script for delayed execution via "after idle" or
"after 1", or even "after 0". By the time the save script is invoked,
the editing session is already finished, and thus the tablelist's
internal content is up-to-date.

It is true that the internal value of the cell being edited won't be

Great, thanks for the tip, I got that working. The last problem I seem to be having is if the user changes the checkbox cell and then hits the Ok button to exit my window without unselected that edited cell. In this case the editendcommand is never executed and the cell never gets updated. Any suggestions?
Thank you.
Thank you.

subcommand, followed by an invocation of your save script, both from
within the command associated with the Ok button.
