Running tile 0.7.8 under WinXP Pro SP2, the [treeview] widget seems to
be missing the "-xscrollcommand" argument. According to the docs, it
supports both horizontal and vertical scrolling, using the standard
options. But...

% package require tile
0.7.8
(bin) 2 % ttk::treeview .t
.t
(bin) 3 % .t cget -yscrollcommand
(bin) 4 % .t cget -xscrollcommand
unknown option "-xscrollcommand"
(bin) 5 % lsort [.t configure]
{-class {} {} {} {}} {-columns columns Columns {} {}} {-cursor cursor
Cursor {} {}} {-displaycolumns displayColumns DisplayColumns {} {}}
{-height height Height 10 10} {-padding padding Pad 4 4} {-selectmode

takeFocus TakeFocus tile::takefocus tile::takefocus} {-takefocus
takeFocus TakeFocus {} tile::takefocus} {-yscrollcommand
yScrollCommand ScrollCommand {} {}}
(bin) 6 %

For what it's worth, this appears to be fixed in version 0.8.0
(included in the latest ActiveState distro).

Hi Aric,

Thanks for the info. What distro is that exactly? I have both the
latest "official" ActiveTcl distro (8.4.14) and the latest 8.5 distro.
Neither seem to contain Tile 0.8.0. Also, looking on sourceforge, it
looks like 0.7.8 is still the latest available. Any additional
details would be great.

Thanks,

Jeff

Aric,

Sorry, you're right. I do have 0.8.0 as part of 8.5a6.

Thank you.

The manpages on the website correspond to CVS HEAD
(where this is fixed); -xscrollcommand wasn't implemented
as of 0.7.8.

I should also add that the ttk::treeview tries very hard
to avoid the need for horizontal scrolling in the first place.
This works a lot better than it used to (again, in CVS,
but not in the latest release).

As a side note...

How / where is Tile 0.8.0 packaged with ActiveTcl 8.5a6? My 8.5
installation does indeed find the 0.8.0 version via the [package
require] command, but I can't find it myself... 8-(

I've search the auto_path folders, but haven't turned up anything
obvious. In fact, I did a system-wide search for "tile*.dll" which
returned only 0.7.8 and earlier versions. So, where *is* the
installed library? Is it in some teapot repository?

Thanks,

Jeff

"tile 0.8.0" == Ttk implemented in 8.5a6. There is no separate set of
sources for it.

Ahhh, of course - I should have known that.... Does 0.8.0 happen to be
available as a separate package anywhere? I'd like to access it via
8.4.14, since it contains things I'd like to have in an app that can't
(yet) be pushed to 8.5...

Thanks,

Jeff
