[Tutor] Tkinter: checking a Text widget for contents/changes (original) (raw)

Hello, everyone. I'm hoping I can get an answer to this without having to burden all of you with a lengthy code-paste. :)

I'm working on a simple text-editing application, and would like to include a function to ask the user to save changes before quitting. Can anyone describe a method for checking to see if anything has been entered into a Text widget's buffer (or, ideally, to check for changes since the last save)? I'm pretty sure I already have all the other pieces I need to make it work.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated; thanks very much in advance.

Marv
