#add_dependent(obj) ⇒ Object

This is to ensure that change handlers for all dependent objects are called so they are updated. This is called from text_variable property of some widgets. If you use one text_variable across objects, all will be updated auto. User does not need to call. @ private

#set_value(val, key = "") ⇒ Object

update the value of this variable. 2008-12-31 18:35 Added source so one can identify multiple sources that are updating. Idea is that mutiple fields (e.g. checkboxes) can share one var and update a hash through it. Source would contain some code or key relatin to each field.
