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
