Existing Project If you have already made a working copy of the Tcl Tutorial project and wish to use that copy instead of creating a new working copy, select File|Open|Project and navigate to the directory where you copied the project. Open the file tcl_tutorial.kpf. The files included in the tutorial project are displayed in the Projects/Toolbox Pane. No files have been opened in the Editor Pane.

About the Tcl Tutorial Project Files

You may have noticed that dlg_tcl_check.ui has two associated files, dlg_tcl_check.tcl and dlg_tcl_check_ui.tcl. Both of these files are generated automatically when you create a new GUI Builder project. However, only the callback file, in this case dlg_tcl_check.tcl, should ever be edited. The second file, in this case dlg_tcl_check_ui.tcl, is overwritten each time you make modifications to a GUI Builder project. For this reason, any changes you make to the file could be lost.
