I have the following code which works fine to generate 10 rows of entries/checkboxes, so I get 50 parameters.

I have to pass all these params to a procedure, is there a better way than listing ALL 50 in the call/proc?

Generate code is:-

##----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Labels & Entry for MultiBlock Rows 1 to 10 ##----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Grid placement for all the rows ##----------------------------------------------------------------------------- for {set xxx 0} {$xxx < 10} {incr xxx} {

label $f4a.lb_TIM_$xxx -text "Time" -font {Arial 8 bold} -background white -foreground black
label $f4a.lb_SPC_$xxx -text " " -font {Arial 8 bold}
entry $f4a.enMINS_$xxx -textvar MB_mins_$xxx -width 2 -validate all -vcmd {ValidInt %P}
entry $f4a.enSECS_$xxx -textvar MB_secs_$xxx -width 2 -validate all -vcmd {ValidInt %P}
entry $f4a.enPWR_$xxx -textvar MB_power_$xxx -width 3 -validate all -vcmd {ValidInt %P}
entry $f4a.enCAD_$xxx -textvar MB_cad_$xxx -width 3 -validate all -vcmd {ValidInt %P}
checkbutton $f4a.cbSEL_$xxx -var MB_sel_$xxx -background white -foreground red


grid $f4a.lb_TIM_$xxx -row [expr $xxx + 1] -column 0
grid $f4a.enMINS_$xxx -row [expr $xxx + 1] -column 1
grid $f4a.lb_SPC_$xxx -row [expr $xxx + 1] -column 2
grid $f4a.enSECS_$xxx -row [expr $xxx + 1] -column 3
grid $f4a.enPWR_$xxx -row [expr $xxx + 1] -column 4
grid $f4a.enCAD_$xxx -row [expr $xxx + 1] -column 5
grid $f4a.cbSEL_$xxx -row [expr $xxx + 1] -column 6
}

Any help much appreciated.

Why did you repost this?

Rich suggested bundling the parameters into a list or lists or into a matrix.

I suggested that since the params are all in globals, you don't have to pass them at all, just reference the globals. Alternitivly, you can replace the individual globals with a single global array variable.

I found I'd posted on vhdl website & deleted it, but accidently deleted from tcl too,
sorry for any confusion.

This is Usenet, you can't delete the post from Usenet once it has been
posted.

You might have managed to delete it from google groups, but that is
just local to google, not to the broader Usenet world.
