Full listing


This section contains a full listing of the address book application, as it should look in your program. This is a basic data entry application that highlights many of the functionalities of the Tcl/Tk language. At this point, you may wish to sort the dictionary to provide an alphabetical listing of the data, implement multiple field search capability, and toggle the state of the buttons and menu entries to limit the user's abilities in a logical manner or anything else you might want to add.

It's all there in Tcl/Tk. The only limit is your imagination.
