Bryan Oakley's combobox package is a library extension for Tcl/Tk version
8.0 or higher, written in pure Tcl/Tk code. Its download location
is
http://www.purl.org/net/oakley/tcl/combobox/index.html
Tablelist supports interactive cell editing with the aid of the combobox
widget implemented in the package mentioned above. The steps needed for
using this widget for editing the cells of a given column are as follows:
- Register the combobox widget for interactive cell editing by invoking
the
tablelist::addOakleyCombobox command described
below.
- Use the tablelist widget's
columnconfigure
subcommand to set the given column's -editable option to true
and its -editwindow option to
the value returned by the command mentioned above. (These options are
supported at cell level, too, with the aid of the cellconfigure
subcommand.)
The
tablelist::addOakleyCombobox Command
- NAME
tablelist::addOakleyCombobox - Register Bryan Oakley's
combobox widget for interactive cell editing
SYNOPSIS-
tablelist::addOakleyCombobox ?name?
- DESCRIPTION
- This command registers Bryan Oakley's combobox widget for interactive
cell editing in tablelist widgets. The optional argument specifies
the name to be used for the combobox widget as the value of the
-editwindow column or
cell configuration option. It may be any string that is different
from entry, text,
spinbox, checkbutton,
ttk::entry, ttk::spinbox,
ttk::combobox, and
ttk::checkbutton. The default is
combobox. The command returns its
name argument.
The temporary embedded combobox widget associated with the above
name will be created with its
-editable option set to 1. You can
use the script corresponding to the -editstartcommand
tablelist configuration option to make the combobox non-editable or define
validations for its entry child (whose path name can be obtained by
invoking the tablelist widget's entrypath subcommand, or by
appending .entry to the path name of the combobox
widget, or, if using combobox version 2.3 or later, with the aid of the
combobox widget's subwidget entry
subcommand), as well as for populating its listbox component (by using the
combobox widget's list insert
subcommand).
