lb.curselection() won't return an integer, but a tuple of strings. Also, a StringVar \
receives a new value with the set() method. So, you'll have to write something like:

idx=lb.curselection()
StringValue.set(lb.get(int(idx[0])))

This will grab the first value from the tuple, convert it in integer, and pass it to \
lb.get() to extract the line in your Listbox, and set it in your Entry via the \
StringVar. If you allow multiple selections from your Listbox, you may have more than \
one value in idx, and you'll have to decide how you intend to process them.

Check any of these (or both):

http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter/

They're both easy to follow, and you'll save more time, than asking one little think \
at a time, and then waiting for someone to answer.

Good luck!
Sorin
