The tile theme engine is a compiled library extension for Tcl/Tk version 8.4 or higher. Beginning with Tk 8.5a6, tile is integrated into the Tk core. For earlier Tk versions it can be downloaded from the address
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tktable/
Tablelist supports interactive cell editing with the aid of the tile
entry, spinbox, combobox, and checkbutton widgets, accessed as
ttk::entry, ttk::spinbox,
ttk::combobox, and ttk::checkbutton,
respectively. The version of the tile package must be 0.6 or higher
(the tile spinbox requires even tile 0.8.3 or later, or, alternatively, Tk
8.6 or later). Due to the rapidly growing importance of the tile
library, these widgets are automatically registered for cell editing, hence
the only action needed for using one of them for editing the cells of a given
column is as follows:
Use the tablelist widget's columnconfigure
subcommand to set the given column's -editable option to true
and its -editwindow option to
ttk::entry, ttk::spinbox,
ttk::combobox, or ttk::checkbutton,
respectively. (These options are supported at cell level, too, with the
aid of the cellconfigure
subcommand.)
One known limitation of the currently available tile versions is that
the style theme use command can only be used
to set the current theme, but not to retrieve it. For this reason,
Tablelist makes use of the variable ttk::currentTheme or
tile::currentTheme (depending on the tile version), which
is set by the ttk::setTheme or
tile::setTheme procedure. From this it follows that
the tile widgets used for interactive cell editing will only be managed as
expected if the platform-specific default theme is either left unchanged or
replaced with another theme by invoking the procedure
ttk::currentTheme or tile::setTheme,
depending on the current tile version. (See also the tablelist::setTheme
command.)
-style option. Apart from its theme-specific
appearance, it behaves just like its Tk core counterpart.
If an application uses the tile entry widget for interactive cell editing and also the Wcb package (even if not for that widget), then the version of Wcb must be 3.1 or higher (because earlier Wcb releases didn't support any tile widgets).
-style option and with its -state
option set to normal, which makes the widget
editable. You can use the script corresponding to the
-editstartcommand
tablelist configuration option to set the state of the spinbox to
readonly or define validations for it, as well as for
setting its (range of) values and its -wrap
option. Apart from its theme-specific appearance, it behaves just
like its Tk core counterpart.
If an application uses the tile spinbox widget for interactive cell editing and also the Wcb package (even if not for that widget), then the version of Wcb must be 3.2 or higher (because the support for the new tile spinbox widget was added to Wcb in its version 3.2).
-style option and with its -state
option set to normal, which makes the widget
editable. You can use the script corresponding to the
-editstartcommand
tablelist configuration option to set the state of the combobox to
readonly or define validations for it, as well as for
populating its listbox component (with the aid of the combobox widget's
-values option).
If an application uses the tile combobox widget for interactive cell editing and also the Wcb package (even if not for that widget), then the version of Wcb must be 3.1 or higher (because earlier Wcb releases didn't support any tile widgets).
-style and -variable options.
You can use the script corresponding to the -editstartcommand
tablelist configuration option to set any other configuration options, like
-offvalue and -onvalue, according
to the internal values of the cells. Since the default values
of the -offvalue and -onvalue tile
checkbutton options are 0 and 1, you don't need
to change these options if the cells have the same internal values
0 and 1.
