What is new in Tablelist 7.5? ----------------------------- 1. Support for interactive cell editing with the aid of the new toggleswitch widget. 2. Improvements related to the use of various system colors on aqua and win32. 3. The scaleutil package now also scales the "-sashthickness" and "-gripsize" options of the "Sash" style. 4. New demo script "tileWidgets2.tcl", in which toggleswitch rather than ttk::checkbutton widgets are used for the editing of boolean values. 5. Made the retrieval of the row index corresponding to a given viewable row offset more robust (thanks to Alexandru Dadalau for his bug report). 6. Fixed a bug related to the "-allowduplicates" column configuration option and the "-forceeditendcommand" global option. How to get it? -------------- Tablelist is available for free download from the URL https://www.nemethi.de The distribution file is "tablelist7.5.tar.gz" for UNIX and "tablelist7_5.zip" for Windows. These files contain the same information, except for the additional carriage return character preceding the linefeed at the end of each line in the text files for Windows. Tablelist is also included in tklib, which has the address https://core.tcl.tk/tklib How to install it? ------------------ Install the package as a subdirectory of one of the directories given by the "auto_path" variable. For example, you can install it as a subdirectory of the "lib" directory within your Tcl/Tk installation. To install Tablelist on UNIX, "cd" to the desired directory and unpack the distribution file "tablelist7.5.tar.gz": gunzip -c tablelist7.5.tar.gz | tar -xf - On most UNIX systems this can be replaced with tar -zxf tablelist7.5.tar.gz Both commands will create a directory named "tablelist7.5 with the subdirectories "demos", "doc", and "scripts". On Windows, use WinZip or some other program capable of unpacking the distribution file "tablelist7_5.zip" into the directory "tablelist7.5", with the subdirectories "demos", "doc", and "scripts". How to use it? -------------- The Tablelist distribution provides two packages, called Tablelist and Tablelist_tile. The main difference between the two is that Tablelist_tile enables the tile-based, theme-specific appearance of tablelist widgets; this package requires tile 0.6 or higher. It is not possible to use both packages in one and the same application, because both are implemented in the same "tablelist" namespace and provide identical commands. To be able to access the commands and variables of the Tablelist package, your scripts must contain one of the lines package require tablelist ?version? package require Tablelist ?version? Likewise, to be able to access the commands and variables of the Tablelist_tile package, your scripts must contain one of the lines package require tablelist_tile ?version? package require Tablelist_tile ?version? Since the packages Tablelist and Tablelist_tile are implemented in the "tablelist" namespace, you must either import the procedures you need, or use qualified names like "tablelist::tablelist". For a detailed description of the commands and variables provided by Tablelist and of the examples contained in the "demos" directory, see the tutorial "tablelist.html" and the reference pages, all located in the "doc" directory. -- Csaba Nemethi https://www.nemethi.de mailto:csaba.nemethi@t-online.de
