Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command line or in the option database to configure aspects of the HList widget such as its cursor and relief. <P> The HList widget can be used to display any data that have a hierarchical structure, for example, file system directory trees. The list entries are indented and connected by branch lines according to their places in the hierachy. <P> Each list entry is identified by an <B>entryPath</B></I>. The entryPath is a sequence of <B>entry names</B></I> separated by the separator charactor (specified by the <B>-separator</B></I> option). An <B>entry name</B></I> can be any string that does not contain the separator charactor, or it can be the a string that contains only one separator charactor. <P> For example, when "." is used as the separator charactor, "one.two.three" is the entryPath for a list entry whose parent is "one.two", whose parent is "one", which is a toplevel entry (has no parents). <P> Another examples: ".two.three" is the entryPath for a list entry whose parent is ".two", whose parent is ".", which is a toplevel entry. </pre><H3>DISPLAY ITEMS</H3> <P> Each list entry in an HList widget is associated with a <B>display item</B></I>. The display item determines what visual information should be displayed for this list entry. Please see the <B>DItem(n)</B></I> manual page for a list of all display items. When a list entry is created by the <B>add</B></I> or <B>addchild</B></I> widget commands, the type of its display item is determined by the <B>-itemtype</B></I> option passed to these commands. If the <B>-itemtype</B></I> is omitted, then by default the type specified by </pre><H3>WIDGET COMMAND</H3> <P> The <B>tixHList</B></I> command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following general form: <pre> <I>pathName option </I></B>?<I>arg arg ...</I></B>? <P> </pre> <I>PathName</I></B> is the name of the command, which is the same as determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for HList widgets: <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>add<I> entryPath </I></B>?<I>option value ...</I></B>? </I></B> <DD> Creates a new list entry with the pathname <I>entryPath</I></B>. A list entry must be created after its parent is created (unless this entry is a top-level entry, which has no parent). This command returns the entryPath of the newly created list entry. The following configuration options can be given to configure the list entry: </DL> <UL> <DL> <DT> <B>-at<I> position</I></B> </I></B> <DD> Insert the new list at the position given by <I>position</I></B>. <I>position</I></B> must be a valid integer. the Position <B>0</B></I> indicates the first position, <B>1</B></I> indicates the second position, and so on. </DL> <DL> <DT> <B>-after<I> afterWhich</I></B> </I></B> <DD> Insert the new list entry after the entry identified by <I>afterWhich</I></B>. <I>afterWhich</I></B> must be a valid list entry and it mush have the same parent as the new list entry </DL> <DL> <DT> <B>-before<I> beforeWhich</I></B> </I></B> <DD> Insert the new list entry before the entry identified by <I>beforeWhich</I></B>. <I>beforeWhich</I></B> must be a valid list entry and it mush have the same parent as the new list entry </DL> <DL> <DT> <B>-data<I> string</I></B> </I></B> <DD> Specifies a string to associate with this list entry. This string can be queried by the <B>info</B></I> widget command. The application programmer can use the <B>-data</B></I> option to associate the list entry with the data it represents. </DL> <DL> <DT> <B>-itemtype<I> type</I></B> </I></B> <DD> Specifies the type of display item to be display for the new list entry. <B>type</B></I> must be a valid display item type. Currently the available display item types are <B>imagetext</B></I>, <B>text</B></I>, and <B>window</B></I>. If this option is not specified, then by default the </DL> <DL> <DT> <B>-state</B></I> </I></B> <DD> Specifies whether this entry can be selected or invoked by the user. Must be either <B>normal</B></I> or <B>disabled</B></I>. </DL> </UL> The <B>add</B></I> widget command accepts additional configuration options to configure the display item associated with this list entry. The set of additional configuration options depends on the type of the display item given by the <B>-itemtype</B></I> option. Please see the <B>DItem(n)</B></I> manual page for a list of the configuration options for each of the display item types. <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>addchild<I> parentPath </I></B>?<I>option value ... </I></B>? </I></B> <DD> Adds a new child entry to the children list of the list entry identified by <I>parentPath</I></B>. Or, if <I>parentPath</I></B> is set to be the empty string, then creates a new toplevel entry. The name of the new list entry will be a unique name automatically generated by the HList widget. Usually if <I>parentPath</I></B> is <B>foo</B></I>, then the entryPath of the new entry will be <B>foo.1</B></I>, <B>foo.2</B></I>, ... etc. This command returns the entryPath of the newly created list entry. <I>option</I></B> can be any option for the <B>add</B></I> widget command. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>anchor set <I>entryPath</I></B> </I></B> <DD> Sets the anchor to the list entry identified by <I>entryPath</I></B>. The anchor is the end of the selection that is fixed while the user is dragging out a selection with the mouse. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>anchor clear</B></I> </I></B> <DD> Removes the anchor, if any, from this HList widget. This only removes the surrounding highlights of the anchor entry and does not affect its selection status. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>cget</B></I> <I>option</I></B> </I></B> <DD> Returns the current value of the configuration option given by <I>option</I></B>. <I>Option</I></B> may have any of the values accepted by the <B>tixHList</B></I> command. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>column width <I>col</I></B> ?<I>-char</I></B>? ?<I>width</I></B>? </I></B> <DD> Querys or sets the width of a the column <I>col</I></B> in the HList widget. The value of <I>col</I></B> is zero-based: 0 stands for the first column, 1 stands for the second, and so on. If no further parameters are given, returns the current width of this column (in number of pixels). Additional parameters can be given to set the width of this column: </DL> <P> <UL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>column width <I>col</I></B> <B>{}</B></I> </I></B> <DD> An empty string indicates that the width of the column should be just wide enough to display the widest element in this column. In this case, the width of this column may change as a result of the elements in this column changing their sizes. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>column width <I>col</I></B> <I>width</I></B> </I></B> <DD> <I>width</I></B> must be in a form accepted by <B>Tk_GetPixels(3)</B></I>. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>column width <I>col</I></B> <B>-char</B></I> <I>nChars</I></B> </I></B> <DD> The width is set to be the average width occupied by <I>nChars</I></B> number of characters of the font specified by the <B>-font</B></I> option of this HList widget. </DL> </UL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>configure</B></I> ?<I>option</I></B>? <I>?value option value ...</I></B>? </I></B> <DD> Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no <I>option</I></B> is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for <I>pathName</I></B> (see <B>Tk_ConfigureInfo</B></I> for information on the format of this list). If <I>option</I></B> is specified with no <I>value</I></B>, then the command returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value returned if no <I>option</I></B> is specified). If one or more <I>option-value</I></B> pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. <I>Option</I></B> may have any of the values accepted by the <B>tixHList</B></I> command. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>delete</B></I> <I>option</I></B> ?<I>entryPath</I></B>? </I></B> <DD> Delete one or more list entries. <I>option</I></B> may be one of the following: </DL> <UL> <DL> <DT> <B>all</B></I> </I></B> <DD> Delete all entries in the HList. In this case the <I>entryPath</I></B> does not need to be specified. </DL> <DL> <DT> <B>entry</B></I> </I></B> <DD> Delete the entry specified by <I>entryPath</I></B> and all its offsprings, if any. </DL> <DL> <DT> <B>offsprings</B></I> </I></B> <DD> Delete all the offsprings, if any, of the entry specified by <I>entryPath</I></B>. However, <I>entryPath</I></B> itself is not deleted. </DL> <DL> <DT> <B>siblings</B></I> </I></B> <DD> Delete all the list entries that share the same parent with the entry specified by <I>entryPath</I></B>. However, <I>entryPath</I></B> itself is not deleted. </DL> </UL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>dragsite set <I>entryPath</I></B> </I></B> <DD> Sets the dragsite to the list entry identified by <I>entryPath</I></B>. The dragsite is used to indicate the source of a drag-and-drop action. Currently drag-and-drop functionality has not been implemented in Tix yet. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>dragsite clear</B></I> </I></B> <DD> Remove the dragsite, if any, from the this HList widget. This only removes the surrounding highlights of the dragsite entry and does not affect its selection status. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>dropsite set <I>entryPath</I></B> </I></B> <DD> Sets the dropsite to the list entry identified by <I>entryPath</I></B>. The dropsite is used to indicate the target of a grag-and-drop action. Currently drag-and-drop functionality has not been implemented in Tix yet. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>dropsite clear</B></I> </I></B> <DD> Remove the dropsite, if any, from the this HList widget. This only removes the surrounding highlights of the dropsite entry and does not affect its selection status. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>entrycget</B></I> <I> entryPath option</I></B> </I></B> <DD> Returns the current value of the configuration option given by <I>option</I></B> for the entry indentfied by <I>entryPath</I></B>. <I>Option</I></B> may have any of the values accepted by the <B>add</B></I> widget command. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>entryconfigure<I> entryPath </I></B>?<I>option</I></B>? <I>?value option value ...</I></B>? </I></B> <DD> Query or modify the configuration options of the list entry indentfied by <I>entryPath</I></B>. If no <I>option</I></B> is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for <I>entryPath</I></B> (see <B>Tk_ConfigureInfo</B></I> for information on the format of this list.) If <I>option</I></B> is specified with no <I>value</I></B>, then the command returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value returned if no <I>option</I></B> is specified). If one or more <I>option-value</I></B> pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. <I>Option</I></B> may have any of the values accepted by the <B>add</B></I> or <B>addchild</B></I> widget command. The exact set of options depends on the value of the <B>-itemtype</B></I> option passed to the the <B>add</B></I> or <B>addchild</B></I> widget command when this list entry is created. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>header <I>option</I></B> <I>col</I></B> ?<I>args ...</I></B>? </I></B> <DD> Manipulates the header items of this HList widget. If the <B>-header</B></I> option of this HList widget is set to true, then a header item is displayed at the top of each column. The <I>col</I></B> argument for this command must be a valid integer. 0 indicates the first column, 1 the second column, ... and so on. This command supports the following options: </DL> <UL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>header <B>cget</B></I> <I>col</I></B> <I>option</I></B> </I></B> <DD> If the <I>col</I></B>-th column has a header display item, returns the value of the specified <I>option</I></B> of the header item. If the header </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>header <B>configure</B></I> <I>col</I></B> ?<I>option</I></B>? <I>?value option value ...</I></B>? </I></B> <DD> Query or modify the configuration options of the header display item of the <I>col</I></B>-th column. The header item must exist, or an error will result. If no <I>option</I></B> is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for the header display item (see <B>Tk_ConfigureInfo(3)</B></I> for information on the format of this list.) If <I>option</I></B> is specified with no <I>value</I></B>, then the command returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value returned if no <I>option</I></B> is specified). If one or more <I>option-value</I></B> pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. <I>Option</I></B> may have any of the values accepted by the <B>header create</B></I> widget command. The exact set of options depends on the value of the <B>-itemtype</B></I> option passed to the the <B>header create</B></I> widget command when this display item was created. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>header <B>create</B></I> <I>col</I></B> ?<I>-itemtype type</I></B>? ?<I>option value ...</I></B>? </I></B> <DD> Creates a new display item as the header for the <I>col</I></B>-th column. If an header display item already exists for this column, it will be replaced by the new item. An optional parameter <I>-itemtype</I></B> can be used to specify what type of display item should be created. If the <I>-itemtype</I></B> is not given, then by option is used. Additional parameters, in <I>option-value</I></B> pairs, can be passed to configure the appearance of the display item. Each <I>option-value</I></B> pair must be a valid option for this type of display item or one of the following: </DL> <UL> <DL> <DT> <B>-borderwidth</B></I> </I></B> <DD> Specifies the border width of this header item. </DL> <DL> <DT> <B>-headerbackground</B></I> </I></B> <DD> Specifies the background color of this header item. </DL> <DL> <DT> <B>-relief</B></I> </I></B> <DD> Specifies the relief type of the border of this header item. </DL> </UL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>header <B>delete <I>col</I></B> </I></B> <DD> Deletes the header display item for the <I>col</I></B>-th column. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>header <B>exists <I>col</I></B> </I></B> <DD> Return true if an header display item exists for the <I>col</I></B>-th column; return false otherwise. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>header <B>size <I>entryPath</I></B> </I></B> <DD> If an header display item exists for the <I>col</I></B>-th column , returns its size in a two element list of the form {<I>width height</I></B>}; returns an error if the header display item does not exist. </DL> </UL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>hide <I>option ?entryPath?</I></B> </I></B> <DD> Makes some of entries invisible invisible without deleting them. <I>Option</I></B> can be one of the following: </DL> <UL> <DL> <DT> <B>entry</B></I> </I></B> <DD> Hides the list entry identified by <I>entryPath</I></B>. </DL> <P> Currently only the <B>entry</B></I> option is supported. Other options will be added in the next release. </UL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>indicator <I>option</I></B> entryPath ?<I>args ...</I></B>? </I></B> <DD> Manipulates the indicator on the list entries. An indicator is usually a small display item (such as an image) that is displayed to the left to an entry to indicate the status of the entry. For example, it may be used to indicator whether a directory is opened or closed. <I>option</I></B> can be one of the following: </DL> <UL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>indicator <B>cget</B></I> <I>entryPath</I></B> <I>option</I></B> </I></B> <DD> If the list entry given by <I>entryPath</I></B> has an indicator, returns the value of the specified <I>option</I></B> of the indicator. If the </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>indicator <B>configure</B></I> <I>entryPath</I></B> ?<I>option</I></B>? <I>?value option value ...</I></B>? </I></B> <DD> Query or modify the configuration options of the indicator display item of the entry specified by <I>entryPath</I></B>. The indicator item must exist, or an error will result. If no <I>option</I></B> is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for the indicator display item (see <B>Tk_ConfigureInfo(3)</B></I> for information on the format of this list). If <I>option</I></B> is specified with no <I>value</I></B>, then the command returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value returned if no <I>option</I></B> is specified). If one or more <I>option-value</I></B> pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. <I>Option</I></B> may have any of the values accepted by the <B>indicator create</B></I> widget command. The exact set of options depends on the value of the <B>-itemtype</B></I> option passed to the the <B>indicator create</B></I> widget command when this display item was created. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>indicator <B>create</B></I> <I>entryPath</I></B> ?<I>-itemtype type</I></B>? ?<I>option value ...</I></B>? </I></B> <DD> Creates a new display item as the indicator for the entry specified by <I>entryPath</I></B>. If an indicator display item already exists for this entry, it will be replaced by the new item. An optional parameter <I>-itemtype</I></B> can be used to specify what type of display item should be created. If the <I>-itemtype</I></B> is not given, then by option is used. Additional parameters, in <I>option-value</I></B> pairs, can be passed to configure the appearance of the display item.

If the anchor is not set, returns the empty string. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>info bbox</B></I> <I>entryPath</I></B> </I></B> <DD> Returns a list of four numbers describing the visible bounding box of the entry given <I>entryPath</I></B>. The first two elements of the list give the x and y coordinates of the upper-left corner of the screen area covered by the entry (specified in pixels relative to the widget) and the last two elements give the lower-right corner of the area, in pixels. If no part of the entry given by index is visible on the screen then the result is an empty string; if the entry is partially visible, the result gives the only the visible area of the entry. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>info <B>children</B></I> ?<I>entryPath</I></B>? </I></B> <DD> children entries.

If no <I>option</I></B> is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for <I>entryPath</I></B> (see <B>Tk_ConfigureInfo(3)</B></I> for information on the format of this list). If <I>option</I></B> is specified with no <I>value</I></B>, then the command returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value returned if no <I>option</I></B> is specified). If one or more <I>option-value</I></B> pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. <I>Option</I></B> may have any of the values accepted by the <B>item create</B></I> widget command. The exact set of options depends on the value of the <B>-itemtype</B></I> option passed to the the <B>item create</B></I> widget command when this display item was created. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>item create <I>entryPath col</I></B> ?<I>-itemtype type</I></B>? ?<I>option value ...</I></B>? </I></B> <DD> Creates a new display item at the column designated by <I>col</I></B> of the entry specified by <I>entryPath</I></B>. An optional parameter <I>-itemtype</I></B> can be used to specify what type of display items should be created. If the <I>-itemtype</I></B> is not specified, then by option is used. Additional parameters, in <I>option-value</I></B> pairs, can be passed to configure the appearance of the display item.

When only <I>from</I></B> is given, only the list entry identified by <I>from</I></B> is deselected. When both <I>from</I></B> and <I>to</I></B> are given, deselects all of the list entrie(s) between between <I>from</I></B> and <I>to</I></B>, inclusive, without affecting the selection state of entries outside that range. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>selection get</B></I> </I></B> <DD> This is an alias for the <B>info selection</B></I> widget command. , </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>selection includes <I>entryPath</I></B> </I></B> <DD> Returns 1 if the list entry indicated by <I>entryPath</I></B> is currently selected; returns 0 otherwise. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>selection set <I>from</I></B> ?<I>to</I></B>? </I></B> <DD> Selects all of the list entrie(s) between between <I>from</I></B> and <I>to</I></B>, inclusive, without affecting the selection state of entries outside that range. When only <I>from</I></B> is given, only the list entry identified by <I>from</I></B> is selected. </DL> </UL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>show <I>option ?entryPath?</I></B> </I></B> <DD> Show the entries that are hidden by the <B>hide</B></I> command, <I>option</I></B> can be one of the following: </DL> <UL> <DL> <DT> <B>entry</B></I> </I></B> <DD> Shows the list entry identified by <I>entryPath</I></B>. </DL> <P> Currently only the <B>entry</B></I> option is supported. Other options will be added in future releases. </UL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>xview <I>args</I></B> </I></B> <DD> This command is used to query and change the horizontal position of the forms: </DL> <UL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>xview</B></I> </I></B> <DD> Returns a list containing two elements. Each element is a real fraction between 0 and 1; together they describe the horizontal span that is visible in the window. For example, if the first element is </DL> off-screen to the left, the middle 40% is visible in the window, and 40% of the entry is off-screen to the right. These are the same values passed to scrollbars via the <B>-xscrollcommand</B></I> option. <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>xview</B></I> <I>entryPath</I></B> </I></B> <DD> Adjusts the view in the window so that the list entry identified by <I>entryPath</I></B> is aligned to the left edge of the window. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>xview moveto<I> fraction</I></B> </I></B> <DD> Adjusts the view in the window so that <I>fraction</I></B> of the total width of the HList is off-screen to the left. <I>fraction</I></B> must be a fraction between 0 and 1. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>xview scroll <I>number what</I></B> </I></B> <DD> This command shifts the view in the window left or right according to <I>number</I></B> and <I>what</I></B>. <I>Number</I></B> must be an integer. <I>What</I></B> must be either <B>units</B></I> or <B>pages</B></I> or an abbreviation of one of these. If <I>what</I></B> is <B>units</B></I>, the view adjusts left or right by <I>number</I></B> character units (the width of the <B>0</B></I> character) on the display; if it is <B>pages</B></I> then the view adjusts by <I>number</I></B> screenfuls. If <I>number</I></B> is negative then characters farther to the left become visible; if it is positive then characters farther to the right become visible. </DL> </UL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>yview <I>?args</I></B>? </I></B> <DD> This command is used to query and change the vertical position of the </DL> <UL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>yview</B></I> </I></B> <DD> Returns a list containing two elements, both of which are real fractions between 0 and 1. The first element gives the position of the list element at the top of the window, relative to the HList as a whole (0.5 means it is halfway through the HList, for example). The second element gives the position of the list entry just after the last one in the window, relative to the HList as a whole. These are the same values passed to scrollbars via the <B>-yscrollcommand</B></I> option. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>yview</B></I> <I>entryPath</I></B> </I></B> <DD> Adjusts the view in the window so that the list entry given by <I>entryPath</I></B> is displayed at the top of the window. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>yview moveto<I> fraction</I></B> </I></B> <DD> Adjusts the view in the window so that the list entry given by <I>fraction</I></B> appears at the top of the window. <I>Fraction</I></B> is a fraction between 0 and 1; 0 indicates the first entry in the HList, 0.33 indicates the entry one-third the way through the HList, and so on. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>yview scroll <I>number what</I></B> </I></B> <DD> This command adjust the view in the window up or down according to <I>number</I></B> and <I>what</I></B>. <I>Number</I></B> must be an integer. <I>What</I></B> must be either <B>units</B></I> or <B>pages</B></I>. If <I>what</I></B> is <B>units</B></I>, the view adjusts up or down by <I>number</I></B> lines; if it is <B>pages</B></I> then the view adjusts by <I>number</I></B> screenfuls. If <I>number</I></B> is negative then earlier entries become visible; if it is positive then later entries become visible. </DL> </UL> </pre><H3>BINDINGS</H3> <P> <UL> [1] <BR> If the <B>-selectmode</B></I> is "browse", when the user drags the mouse pointer over the list entries, the entry under the pointer will be highlighted and the <B>-browsecmd</B></I> procedure will be called with one parameter, the entryPath of the highlighted entry.
