Maybe someone is interested in a workaround for the postcommand in
combobox issue:
(postcommand is a script which will be called right before displaying
the pop-down list of choices. This can be used to more dynamically set
the list of choices, via the values option.
Source: https://tkdocs.com/widgets/combobox.html)
Not really elegant but it solves my problem:
(defun combo-values-when-entering ()
"Combobox updating values when the mouse enters the widget."
(ltk:with-ltk ()
(let* ((f (make-instance 'ltk:frame))
(outconsole (make-instance 'ltk:scrolled-text :borderwidth 2
:relief :raised :master f))
(c (make-instance 'ltk:combobox :master f :text "Values:")))
(ltk:pack f)
(ltk:pack outconsole)
(ltk:pack c :side :left :padx 2)
(ltk:append-text outconsole "Line 1 (Add more lines here and use
the combobox widget thereafter)")
(ltk:bind c "<Enter>"
(lambda (evt)
(declare (ignore evt))
(setf (options c) (cl-ppcre:split #\newline (text
outconsole))))))))
(The reading from the textwidget is just an example. In my application
I want to read the state of some ports when using the combobox.)
