From Newsgroup: comp.lang.tcl
I am pleased to announce version 7.1 of the multi-column listbox and
tree widget package Tablelist.
What is new in Tablelist 7.1?
-----------------------------
1. Added support for terminating the editing with one of the following
automatic postprocessings: (1) fill the column's selected cells;
(2) fill all cells of the column; (3) fill down within the column;
(4) fill up within the column (thanks to Blair J Basom for his
proposal).
2. The multi-line cell texts are now displayed vertically centered
within their rows, just like the single-line ones (thanks to Harald
Oehlmann for his proposal).
3. Fixed a long-standing bug due to which under some circumstances the
default values of several configuration options became theme-specific
even if the tablelist package rather than tablelist_tile was being
used.
4. Fixed a long-standing bug related to creating the expand/collapse
control images when handling the "-treestyle" option (thanks to
Nicolas Bats for his bug report).
5. Guarded against destroying a tablelist widget (e.g, by an "after"
callback) in which an interactive column resize or row/column move
operation is in progress (thanks to Ulrich Seidl for his bug report).
6. Handled the extremely rare case that the frame widget to be used as
parent of the edit window already exists (again, thanks to Ulrich
Seidl for his bug report).
7. Fixed a typo in the mega-widget utility file mwutil.tcl, introduced
in the previous release (thanks to Harald Oehlmann for his bug
report).
How to get it?
--------------
Tablelist is available for free download from the URL
https://www.nemethi.de
The distribution file is "tablelist7.1.tar.gz" for UNIX and
"tablelist7_1.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
directory at the same level as the Tcl and Tk script libraries. The
locations of these library directories are given by the "tcl_library"
and "tk_library" variables, respectively.
To install Tablelist on UNIX, "cd" to the desired directory and unpack
the distribution file "tablelist7.1.tar.gz":
gunzip -c tablelist7.1.tar.gz | tar -xf -
On most UNIX systems this can be replaced with
tar -zxf tablelist7.1.tar.gz
Both commands will create a directory named "tablelist7.1 with the subdirectories "demos", "doc", and "scripts".
On Windows, use WinZip or some other program capable of unpacking the distribution file "tablelist7_1.zip" into the directory
"tablelist7.1", 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 use the commands and variables implemented in the package Tablelist, your scripts must contain one of the lines
package require tablelist ?version?
package require Tablelist ?version?
Likewise, to be able to use the commands and variables implemented in
the package Tablelist_tile, 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.
