Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command line or in the option database to configure aspects of the treectrl such as its background color and relief. The \fBtreectrl\fR command returns the path name of the new window. At the time this command is invoked, there must not exist a window named \fIpathName\fR, but \fIpathName\fR's parent must exist. .PP A treectrl is a widget which displays items one per line. Every item has a set of states, which are boolean properties. The item may be spread about one or more columns. For each column of an item there is a style associated, which determines how to display the item's column respecting the item's current state set. One column can be defined to display the data in a hierarchical structure. .PP Normally the origin of the coordinate system is at the upper-left corner of the window containing the treectrl. It is possible to adjust the origin of the coordinate system relative to the origin of the window using the \fBxview\fR and \fByview\fR widget commands; this is typically used for scrolling. .PP A treectrl widget can be horizontal or vertical oriented like many other Tk widgets. For displaying hierarchical data only vertical orientation is useful, since only then the children of an item are displayed directly below their parent. If the treectrl widget is used only to display data in a multicolumn listbox, the specification of an orientation will give useful results. .SH "STANDARD OPTIONS" .TP \fB\fB-background\fR\fR .TP \fB\fB-borderwidth\fR\fR .TP \fB\fB-cursor\fR\fR .TP \fB\fB-font\fR\fR .TP \fB\fB-highlightbackground\fR\fR .TP \fB\fB-highlightcolor\fR\fR .TP \fB\fB-highlightthickness\fR\fR .TP \fB\fB-orient\fR\fR .TP \fB\fB-relief\fR\fR .TP \fB\fB-takefocus\fR\fR .TP \fB\fB-xscrollcommand\fR\fR .TP \fB\fB-yscrollcommand\fR\fR .TP \fB\fB-foreground\fR\fR See the \fBoption\fR manual entry for details on the standard options. .SH "WIDGET SPECIFIC OPTIONS" .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-backgroundmode\fR Database Name: \fBbackgroundMode\fR Database Class: \fBBackgroundMode\fR .fi .IP Specifies the desired mode for changing the background of individual items. The value should be one of \fBrow\fR, \fBcolumn\fR, \fBindex\fR, or \fBvisindex\fR. The default is \fBrow\fR. This option has only an effect for columns which have \fB-itembackground\fR defined as list of two or more colors (see section \fBCOLUMNS\fR below for more on this). The color of items is changed for any row or column, if \fBrow\fR or \fBcolumn\fR is specified respectively. When \fBindex\fR is specified, collapsed items are counted also for evaluating the background color, for \fBvisindex\fR only the visible items are counted. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-buttoncolor\fR Database Name: \fBbuttonColor\fR Database Class: \fBButtonColor\fR .fi .IP Specifies the foreground color which should be used for drawing the outline and the plus or minus sign of the button to the left of an item. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-buttonsize\fR Database Name: \fBbuttonSize\fR Database Class: \fBButtonSize\fR .fi .IP Specifies the diameter of the button drawn to the left of an item in any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-buttonthickness\fR Database Name: \fBbuttonThickness\fR Database Class: \fBButtonThickness\fR .fi .IP Specifies the width of the outline and the plus or minus sign of the button to the left of an item in any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-closedbuttonbitmap\fR Database Name: \fBclosedButtonBitmap\fR Database Class: \fBClosedButtonBitmap\fR .fi .IP Specifies the bitmap to be used as the button to the left of an closed item in any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-closedbuttonimage\fR Database Name: \fBclosedButtonImage\fR Database Class: \fBClosedButtonImage\fR .fi .IP Specifies the image to be used as the button to the left of an closed item in any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetImage\fR. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-columnproxy\fR Database Name: \fBcolumnProxy\fR Database Class: \fBColumnProxy\fR .fi .IP If this option specifies a non empty value, it should be a screen distance in any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. Then a 1 pixel thick vertical line will be drawn at the specified screen distance from the left edge of the treectrl widget, which reaches from top to bottom of the treectrl widget and uses an inverting color (i.e black on lighter background, white on darker background). This line can be used to give the user a visual feedback during column resizing. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-doublebuffer\fR Database Name: \fBdoubleBuffer\fR Database Class: \fBDoubleBuffer\fR .fi .IP Specifies if double-buffering should be used to improve displaying. The value should be one of \fBnone\fR, \fBwindow\fR, or \fBitem\fR. For \fBnone\fR no double-buffering is used at all, which may be most memory efficient, but will probably generate some flickering on the screen. For \fBwindow\fR the complete tree is double-buffered, which requires a buffer big enough to contain the complete widget. For \fBitem\fR, which is the default, every item is separately double-buffered, so it works with a buffer size as big as the biggest item. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-height\fR Database Name: \fBheight\fR Database Class: \fBHeight\fR .fi .IP Specifies the desired height for the window in any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. The default is 200 pixel. If this option is less than or equal to zero then the window will not request any size at all. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-indent\fR Database Name: \fBindent\fR Database Class: \fBIndent\fR .fi .IP Specifies the amount of indentation in any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. The default is 19 pixel. Indentation is the screen distance an item is displayed more to the right than its father. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-itemheight\fR Database Name: \fBitemHeight\fR Database Class: \fBItemHeight\fR .fi .IP Specifies the minimal height of an item in any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. The default is 0, which means that every item has exactly the height of it stallest element. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-linecolor\fR Database Name: \fBlineColor\fR Database Class: \fBLineColor\fR .fi .IP Specifies the color which should be used for drawing the connecting lines between related items. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-linestyle\fR Database Name: \fBlineStyle\fR Database Class: \fBLineStyle\fR .fi .IP Specifies the style of the connecting lines between related items, should be \fBdot\fR which is the default, or \fBsolid\fR. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-linethickness\fR Database Name: \fBlineThickness\fR Database Class: \fBLineThickness\fR .fi .IP Specifies the thickness of the connecting lines between related items in any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-openbuttonbitmap\fR Database Name: \fBopenButtonBitmap\fR Database Class: \fBOpenButtonBitmap\fR .fi .IP Specifies the bitmap to be used as the button to the left of an opened item in any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetBitmap\fR. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-openbuttonimage\fR Database Name: \fBopenButtonImage\fR Database Class: \fBOpenButtonImage\fR .fi .IP Specifies the image to be used as the button to the left of an opened item in any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetImage\fR. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-scrollmargin\fR Database Name: \fBscrollMargin\fR Database Class: \fBScrollMargin\fR .fi .IP The interpretation of this option is left to Tcl scripts that implement scrolling: the widget implementation ignores this option entirely. Defaults to 0. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-selectmode\fR Database Name: \fBselectMode\fR Database Class: \fBSelectMode\fR .fi .IP Specifies one of several styles for manipulating the selection. The value of the option may be arbitrary, but the default bindings expect it to be either \fBsingle\fR, \fBbrowse\fR, \fBmultiple\fR, or \fBextended\fR; the default value is \fBbrowse\fR. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-showbuttons\fR Database Name: \fBshowButtons\fR Database Class: \fBShowButtons\fR .fi .IP Specifies a boolean value that determines whether this widget displays a button to the left of any item. If the button is actually drawn can be configured for every item with the \fBitem hasbutton\fR widget command, but if this option is set to false, the configuration of an item has no effect. The default value is true. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-showheader\fR Database Name: \fBshowHeader\fR Database Class: \fBShowHeader\fR .fi .IP Specifies a boolean value that determines whether this widget should display the header line with the column names at the top of the widget. The default value is true. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-showlines\fR Database Name: \fBshowLines\fR Database Class: \fBShowLines\fR .fi .IP Specifies a boolean value that determines whether this widget should draw the connecting lines between related items. The default value is true. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-showroot\fR Database Name: \fBshowRoot\fR Database Class: \fBShowRoot\fR .fi .IP Specifies a boolean value that determines whether this widget should draw the root item. By suppressing the drawing of the root item the widget can have multiple items that appear as \fItoplevel\fR items. The default value is true. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-showrootbutton\fR Database Name: \fBshowRootButton\fR Database Class: \fBShowRootButton\fR .fi .IP Specifies a boolean value that determines whether this widget should draw a button before the root item. The default value is false. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-treecolumn\fR Database Name: \fBtreeColumn\fR Database Class: \fBTreeColumn\fR .fi .IP Specifies an integer value that determines which column displays the data in an hierarchical fashion. Default is 0 meaning that the first column displays the tree. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-width\fR Database Name: \fBwidth\fR Database Class: \fBWidth\fR .fi .IP Specifies the desired width for the window in any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. The default is 200 pixel. If this option is less than or equal to zero then the window will not request any size at all. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-wrap\fR Database Name: \fBwrap\fR Database Class: \fBWrap\fR .fi .IP Specifies how to arrange items inside treectrl's window. The value must be an emtyp string, \fBwindow\fR, or a list with an integer as first element and either \fBitems\fR or \fBpixels\fR as second element. The empty string as wrap mode means that each item appears on exactly one line on the screen. In the other modes multiple items may be displayed in one screen line. In \fBwindow\fR mode a screen line break may occur after any element; in \fBitems\fR mode a line break will only be made after the specified number of items; in \fBpixels\fR mode a line break will only be made after the specified screen distance is reached. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-xscrolldelay\fR Database Name: \fBxScrollDelay\fR Database Class: \fBScrollDelay\fR .fi .IP Specifies the amount of time before the default binding should handle repeating mouse motion events in horizontal direction with button 1 pressed. The value should be a list of upto 2 integers. The first integer specifies the timespan in microseconds before the active item should be changed to get nearer to the current mouse position. If there are two integers specified, the first is only used for the first motion event, any repeating motion events are handled after the seconds amount of miliseconds is elapsed. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-xscrollincrement\fR Database Name: \fBxScrollIncrement\fR Database Class: \fBScrollIncrement\fR .fi .IP Specifies an increment for horizontal scrolling, in any of the usual forms permitted for screen distances. If the value of this option is greater than zero, the horizontal view in the window will be constrained so that the x coordinate at the left edge of the window is always an even multiple of \fB-xscrollincrement\fR; furthermore, the units for scrolling (e.g., the change in view when the left and right arrows of a scrollbar are selected) will also be \fB-xscrollincrement\fR. If the value of this option is less than or equal to zero, then horizontal scrolling is unconstrained. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-yscrolldelay\fR Database Name: \fByScrollDelay\fR Database Class: \fBScrollDelay\fR .fi .IP Specifies the amount of time before the default binding should handle repeating mouse motion events in vertical direction with button 1 pressed. The value should be a list of upto 2 integers. The first integer specifies the timespan in microseconds before the active item should be changed to get nearer to the current mouse position. If there are two integers specified, the first is only used for the first motion event, any repeating motion events are handled after the seconds amount of miliseconds is elapsed. .LP .nf .ta 6c Command-Line Switch: \fB-yscrollincrement\fR Database Name: \fByScrollIncrement\fR Database Class: \fBScrollIncrement\fR .fi .IP Specifies an increment for vertical scrolling, in any of the usual forms permitted for screen distances. If the value of this option is greater than zero, the vertical view in the window will be constrained so that the y coordinate at the top edge of the window is always an even multiple of \fB-yscrollincrement\fR; furthermore, the units for scrolling (e.g., the change in view when the top and bottom arrows of a scrollbar are selected) will also be \fB-yscrollincrement\fR. If the value of this option is less than or equal to zero, then vertical scrolling is unconstrained. .SH "WIDGET COMMAND" The \fBtreectrl\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the same as the path name of the treectrl's window. This command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following general form: .PP \fIpathName\fR \fIoption\fR ?\fIarg arg ...\fR? .PP \fIPathName\fR is the name of the command, which is the same as the treectrl widget's path name. \fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for treectrl widgets: .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBactivate\fR \fIitemDesc\fR\fR Sets the active item to the one described by \fIitemDesc\fR, and switches on the state \fBactive\fR for this item. From now on the item can be retrieved with the item description \fBactive\fR. An \fB\fR event is generated. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBcanvasx\fR \fIscreenx\fR\fR Given a window x-coordinate in the treectrl \fIscreenx\fR, this command returns the treectrl x-coordinate that is displayed at that location. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBcanvasy\fR \fIscreeny\fR\fR Given a window y-coordinate in the treectrl \fIscreeny\fR, this command returns the treectrl y-coordinate that is displayed at that location. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR\fR Returns the current value of the configuration option given by \fIoption\fR. \fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBtree\fR command. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBcollapse\fR ?\fB-recurse\fR? ?\fIitemDesc ...\fR?\fR Switches off the \fBopen\fR state of the item(s) described by \fIitemDesc\fR. If the item has descendants, they are no longer displayed. If the item is configured to have a button, the button will now display the image or bitmap configured with the widget options \fB-closedbuttonimage\fR or \fB-closedbuttonbitmap\fR, or a \fB+\fR sign if no image or bitmap is configured. If the item is already closed, this command has no effect. \fIItemDesc\fR may also be the string \fBall\fR, in which case all items of the treectrl widget are collapsed. If \fB-recurse\fR is specified, all descendants of \fIitemDesc\fR will also be collapsed. For every item, that actually will be collapsed, two events are generated: a \fB\fR event before the item state is changed, and a \fB\fR event after the item state was changed. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn\fR \fIoption\fR \fIcolumn\fR ?\fIarg ...\fR?\fR This command is used to manipulate the columns of the treectrl widget (see section \fBCOLUMNS\fR below). The exact behavior of the command depends on the \fIoption\fR argument that follows the \fBcolumn\fR argument. The following forms of the command are supported: .RS .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn bbox\fR \fIcolumn\fR\fR Returns a list with four elements giving an approximate bounding box for the column header specified by \fIcolumn\fR. If the treectrl is configured to don't display the column headers by means of the \fB-showheader\fR option, an empty list is returned instead. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn cget\fR \fIcolumn\fR \fIoption\fR\fR This command returns the current value of the option named \fIoption\fR for the column specified by \fIcolumn\fR, \fIColumn\fR may also be the string \fBtail\fR to specify the tail column. \fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBcolumn configure\fR widget command. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn configure\fR \fIcolumn\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue\fR? ?\fIoption value ...\fR?\fR This command is similar to the \fBconfigure\fR widget command except that it modifies options associated with the column specified by \fIcolumn\fR instead of modifying options for the overall treectrl widget. \fIColumn\fR may also be the string \fBtail\fR to specify the tail column. If no \fIoption\fR is specified, the command returns a list describing all of the available options for \fIcolumn\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified with no \fIvalue\fR, 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 \fIoption\fR is specified). If one or more \fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given option(s) to have the given value(s) for \fIcolumn\fR; in this case the command returns an empty string. .sp The specified column is created, if it not already exists and if at least one \fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR pair is specified. See \fBCOLUMNS\fR below for details on the options available for columns. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn delete\fR \fIcolumn\fR\fR Deletes the specified \fIcolumn\fR from the treectrl widget. All remaining columns of the treectrl widget will get new column numbers: in an unchanged order, but with succesive numbers. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn index\fR \fIcolumn\fR\fR This command returns a decimal string giving the column number of the column specified by \fIcolumn\fR, which may also be the string \fBtail\fR to specify the tail column. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn move\fR \fIcolumn\fR \fIbefore\fR\fR Moves the specified \fIcolumn\fR to the left of the column specified by \fIbefore\fR. If \fIbefore\fR is the string \fBtail\fR, the column \fIcolumn\fR will become the last column. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn neededwidth\fR \fIcolumn\fR\fR This command returns a decimal string giving the needed width of the column specified by \fIcolumn\fR. The needed width is the maximum of the width of the column header and the width of the \fIwidest\fR currently visible item. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn width\fR \fIcolumn\fR\fR This command returns a decimal string giving the width of the column specified by \fIcolumn\fR, even if the treectrl is configured to don't display the column headers by means of the \fB-showheader\fR option. .RE .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBcompare\fR \fIitemDesc1\fR \fIop\fR \fIitemDesc2\fR\fR From both items described by the \fIitemDesc\fRs the index is retrieved (as returned from the \fBitem index\fR widget command). Then these indexes are compared using the operator \fIop\fR, which must be either \fB<\fR, \fB<=\fR, \fB==\fR, \fB>=\fR, \fB>\fR, or \fB!=\fR. The return value of this command is 1 if the comparison evaulated to true, 0 otherwise. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR?\fR Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified with no \fIvalue\fR, 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 \fIoption\fR is specified). If one or more \fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR 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. \fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBtreectrl\fR command. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBcontentbox\fR\fR Returns a list with four elements giving an approximate bounding box for the space used to display the items inside the columns, i.e. the space of the treectrl widget without the surrounding borders and the column headers. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBdebug\fR \fIoption\fR ?\fIarg arg ...\fR?\fR This command is used to facilitate debugging of the treectrl widget. The exact behavior of the command depends on the \fIoption\fR argument that follows the \fBdebug\fR argument. The following forms of the command are supported: .RS .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBdebug cget\fR \fIelement\fR \fIoption\fR\fR This command returns the current value of the debugging option named \fIoption\fR. \fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBdebug configure\fR widget command. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBdebug configure\fR \fIelement\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue\fR? ?\fIoption value ...\fR?\fR This command is similar to the \fBconfigure\fR widget command except that it modifies debugging options instead of modifying options for the overall treectrl widget. If no \fIoption\fR is specified, the command returns a list describing all of the available debugging options (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified with no \fIvalue\fR, 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 \fIoption\fR is specified). If one or more \fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given debugging option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. .sp The following debugging options are supported: .RS .TP \fB\fB-displaydelay\fR\fR \fImillis\fR Specifies a time duration in milliseconds, which should be waited after something has been drawn to the screen. Setting this option has only an effect, if the debugging options \fB-enable\fR and \fB-display\fR are switched on. .TP \fB\fB-data\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR If this option is switched on (together with the debugging option \fB-enable\fR), at various places a consistence check on the internal data structure is made (e.g. for every item is checked, if the registered number of children is equal to the number of child items). If an inconsistency was found, a Tcl background error is raised. .TP \fB\fB-display\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR If this option is switched on (together with the debugging option \fB-enable\fR), at varios places additional debugging output is printed to stdout. .TP \fB\fB-enable\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR All other debugging options only take effect, if this option is also switched on. .TP \fB\fB-erasecolor\fR\fR \fIcolor\fR Use this color, when parts of the treectrl widget should be deleted. If you use an unusual color for this option (like \fBpink\fR), superflous screen redraws can be spotted more easily. Setting this option has only an effect, if the debugging options \fB-enable\fR and \fB-display\fR are switched on. .RE .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBdebug dinfo\fR\fR For every of the treectrl widget a line with some internal valuess info about all items is printed to stdout. The command returns the empty string. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBdebug scroll\fR\fR Returns a string useful for debugging vertical scrolling. .RE .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBdepth\fR ?\fIitemDesc\fR?\fR If the additional argument \fIitemDesc\fR is specified, returns a decimal string giving the depth of the item describing by \fIitemDesc\fR, whereas depth is defined as the number of steps you must go upward to reach to root item. If no \fIitemDesc\fR is specified, the maximum depth of all items in the treectrl widget is returned instead. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBdragimage\fR \fIoption\fR ?\fIarg ...\fR?\fR This command is used to manipulate the dragimage, one or more dotted lines around rectangular regions of the treectrl widget. The exact behavior of the command depends on the \fIoption\fR argument that follows the \fBdragimage\fR argument. The following forms of the command are supported: .RS .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBdragimage add\fR \fIitemDesc\fR ?\fIcolumn\fR? ?\fIelement\fR?\fR Adds the shapes of the item described by \fIitemDesc\fR to the shapes of the dragimage. Specifying additional arguments reduces the number of rectangles that are added to the dragimage. If no additional arguments is specified, for every element of the item in every column a dotted rectangles is added. If \fIcolumn\fR is specified, all elements in other columns are ignored. If also \fIelement\fR is specified, only a rectangle for this one element of the specified item in the given column is added. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBdragimage cget\fR \fIoption\fR\fR This command returns the current value of the dragimage option named \fIoption\fR. \fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBdragimage configure\fR widget command. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBdragimage clear\fR\fR Removes all shapes (if there are any) from the dragimage. This command does not modify the dragimage offset. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBdragimage configure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue\fR? ?\fIoption value ...\fR?\fR This command is similar to the \fBconfigure\fR widget command except that it modifies the dragimage options instead of modifying options for the overall treectrl widget. If no \fIoption\fR is specified, the command returns a list describing all of the available dragimage options (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the one named dragimage option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified). If one or more \fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given dragimage option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. .sp The following dragimage options are supported: .RS .TP \fB\fB-visible\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR Specifies a boolean value which determines whether the dragimage should currently be visible. This option should not be modified by means of the \fBdragimage configure\fR widget command; instead use the \fBdragimage visible\fR widget command. .RE .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBdragimage offset\fR ?\fIx y\fR?\fR Returns a list containing the x and y offsets of the dragimage, if no additional arguments are specified. The dragimage offset is the screen distance, the image is displayed relative to the item its shape is derived from. If two coordinates are specified, sets the dragimage offset to the given coordinates \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBdragimage visible\fR ?\fIboolean\fR?\fR If the additional argument specifies true, the dotted lines will become visible and the dragimage option \fB-visible\fR becomes 1; if it specifies false, the dotted lines will be hidden and the dragimage option \fB-visible\fR becomes 0. Returns 1 if the dragimage is currently visible, 0 otherwise. .RE .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBelement\fR \fIoption\fR ?\fIelement\fR? ?\fIarg arg ...\fR?\fR This command is used to manipulate elements (see \fBELEMENTS\fR below).

The exact format of the arguments after \fItype\fR depends on \fItype\fR, but generally consist of specifications for zero or more element options. See the subsections on individual element types below for more on the syntax of this command. This command returns the name for the new element. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBelement delete\fR ?\fIelement ...\fR?\fR Deletes each of the named elements and returns an empty string. If an element is deleted while it is still configured as an element of one or more styles by means of the \fBstyle elements\fR widget command, it is also removed from the element lists of these styles. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBelement names\fR\fR Returns a list containing the names of all existing elements. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBelement type\fR \fIelement\fR\fR Returns the type of the elements given by \fIelement\fR, such as \fBrect\fR or \fBtext\fR. .RE .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBexpand\fR ?\fB-recurse\fR? ?\fIitemDesc ...\fR?\fR Switches on the \fBopen\fR state of the item(s) described by \fIitemDesc\fR. If the item has descendants, they are now displayed. If the item is configured to have a button, the button will now display the image or bitmap configured with the widget options \fB-openbuttonimage\fR or \fB-openbuttonbitmap\fR, or a \fB-\fR sign if no image or bitmap is configured. If the item is already open, this command has no effect. \fIItemDesc\fR may also be the string \fBall\fR, in which case all items of the treectrl widget are expanded. If \fB-recurse\fR is specified, all descendants of \fIitemDesc\fR will also be expanded. For every item, that actually will be expanded, two events are generated: an \fB\fR event before the item state is changed, and an \fB\fR event after the item state was changed. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fBidentify\fR \fIx\fR \fIy\fR\fR Returns a list containing some diagnostics about what is displayed at the given windows coordinates \fBx\fR and \fBy\fR. The resulting list may be empty, if nothing is displayed at the given coordinates, otherwise the first list element is \fBheader\fR or \fBitem\fR. .sp If the coordinates are in the header area and thus the first element of the result is \fBheader\fR, the number of the column or the string \fBtail\fR is the second element in the resulting list; if the x coordinate is near the left or right end of the header, a third element \fBleft\fR or \fBright\fR is added respectively. .sp If the coordinates are below the header area and thus the first element of the result is \fBitem\fR, the numerical id of the item is the second element in the resulting list. If the x coordinate doesn't fall into the column displaying the hierarchical structure, the elements \fBcolumn\fR and the column number are added.

For example, if the first element is .6 and the second element is 1.0, the lowest 40% of the tree's area is visible in the window. These are the same values passed to scrollbars via the \fB-yscrollcommand\fR option. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fByview moveto\fR \fIfraction\fR\fR Adjusts the view in the window so that \fIfraction\fR of the tree's area is off-screen to the top. \fIFraction\fR is a fraction between 0 and 1. A \fB\fR event is generated. .TP \fIpathName\fR \fByview scroll\fR \fInumber\fR \fIwhat\fR\fR This command adjusts the view in the window up or down according to \fInumber\fR and \fIwhat\fR. \fINumber\fR must be an integer. \fIWhat\fR must be either \fBunits\fR or \fBpages\fR. If \fIwhat\fR is \fBunits\fR, the view adjusts up or down in units of the \fB-yscrollincrement\fR option, if it is greater than zero, or in units of one-tenth the window's height otherwise. If \fIwhat\fR is \fBpages\fR then the view adjusts in units of nine-tenths the window's height. If \fInumber\fR is negative then higher information becomes visible; if it is positive then lower information becomes visible. A \fB\fR event is generated. .RE .SH "COLUMNS" A treectrl widget is capable of displaying multiple columns next to each other. An item can be considered as a row, which reaches over all columns. .PP Many of the widget commands for a treectrl take as one argument an indicator of which column of the treectrl to operate on. These indicators are called \fIcolumn\fRs and may be specified as numerical index as given by the first \fBcolumn configure\fR widget command which created the column or by its name, which can be configured my means of the \fB-tag\fR column option. .PP There is always one special column, the tail column, which fills all space to the right of the last ordinary column. This column has no number; it can only be specified by its tag \fBtail\fR, which cannot be modified. It is explicitely mentioned for a widget command, if its \fIcolumn\fR argument can also specify the tail column. .PP The following options are supported for columns: .TP \fB\fB-arrow\fR\fR \fIdirection\fR Indicates whether or not an arrow should be drawn in the column header to the right of the column title. \fIDirection\fR must have one of the values \fBnone\fR (the default), \fBup\fR, or \fBdown\fR. .TP \fB\fB-arrowside\fR\fR \fIside\fR Indicates on which side an arrow should be drawn, if at all. \fISide\fR must be either \fBleft\fR or \fBright\fR (the default). .TP \fB\fB-arrowgravity\fR\fR \fIside\fR Indicates onto which side an arrow should be packed, if there is more space available for drawing the arrow then needed. \fISide\fR must be either \fBleft\fR (the default) or \fBright\fR. .TP \fB\fB-arrowpad\fR\fR \fIamount\fR \fIAmount\fR specifies how much padding to leave on the left and right side of the arrow. \fIAmount\fR may be a list of two values to specify padding for left and right separately, it defaults to 0. .TP \fB\fB-bitmap\fR\fR \fIbitmap\fR Specifies the bitmap to display in the element to the left of the column title. .TP \fB\fB-background\fR\fR \fIcolor\fR Specifies the color to use for the background of the column header. .TP \fB\fB-borderwidth\fR\fR \fIsize\fR Specifies a non-negative value indicating the width of the 3-D border to draw around the outside of the column header (if such a border is being drawn; the \fB-relief\fR column option determines this). The value may have any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. .TP \fB\fB-button\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR Indicates whether or not a mouse click on the column header should change the sorting order of the tree. .TP \fB\fB-expand\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR Indicates whether or not any extra spaces should be distributed to this column. This option will actually only work, if the column has no fix width defined by means of the \fB-width\fR column option. .TP \fB\fB-font\fR\fR \fIfontName\fR Specifies the font to use for the column title inside the column header. .TP \fB\fB-image\fR\fR \fIimage\fR Specifies the image to display in the element to the left of the column title. This option overrides the \fB-bitmap\fR column option. .TP \fB\fB-imagepadx\fR\fR \fIamount\fR .TP \fB\fB-imagepady\fR\fR \fIamount\fR \fIAmount\fR specifies how much padding to leave on the left and right (for \fB-imagepadx\fR) or top and bottom (for \fB-imagepady\fR) side of the image. \fIAmount\fR may be a list of two values to specify padding for the two sides separately, it defaults to 0. .TP \fB\fB-itembackground\fR\fR \fIcolorList\fR Specifies a list of colors, which should be used as alternating background color for the items of this column. See also the \fB-backgroundmode\fR widget option for more on this. .TP \fB\fB-justify\fR\fR \fIjustification\fR This option determines how the items (and the title) line up with each other. Must be one of \fBleft\fR (the default), \fBcenter\fR, or \fBright\fR. .TP \fB\fB-minwidth\fR\fR \fIsize\fR Specifies the minimum size, in screen units, that will be permitted for this column. .TP \fB\fB-relief\fR\fR \fIrelief\fR Specifies the 3-D effect desired for the column header containing the title. Acceptable values are the typical relief values, but the value seems to be ignored anyway; better use the \fB-sunken\fR column option instead. .TP \fB\fB-stepwidth\fR\fR \fIsize\fR Specifies a sort of tabbed alignment for columns that displays more than one item next to each other (typically in a treectrl widget with horizontal orientation). Every item will get an x-coordinate which is a multiple of \fIsize\fR. .TP \fB\fB-sunken\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR Indicates whether or not the column header containing the column title will be displayed with a sunken relief. .TP \fB\fB-tag\fR\fR \fItag\fR Defines a unique name for the columns which can be used in subsequent calls of the treectrl widget commands, wherever a column must be specified. .TP \fB\fB-text\fR\fR \fItext\fR Specifies a text to be displayed inside the column title. .TP \fB\fB-textcolor\fR\fR \fIcolor\fR Specifies a color, which should be used as foreground color to display the column title. .TP \fB\fB-textpadx\fR\fR \fIamount\fR .TP \fB\fB-textpady\fR\fR \fIamount\fR \fIAmount\fR specifies how much padding to leave on the left and right (for \fB-textpadx\fR) or top and bottom (for \fB-textpady\fR) side of the text. \fIAmount\fR may be a list of two values to specify padding for the two sides separately, it defaults to 0. .TP \fB\fB-width\fR\fR \fIsize\fR Specifies the width of the column. .TP \fB\fB-visible\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR Indicates whether or not the column should be displayed. .TP \fB\fB-widthhack\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR Indicates whether or not all items inside the column should have the same width (typically in a treectrl widget with horizontal orientation). .SH "STATES" A state consists basically of just a string: its \fIstateName\fR. For every item a set of these states is managed, which means that every item can have every state switched on or off. The following states are predefined for every item: .TP \fBactive\fR At every time this state is set for exactly one item, which therefore is called the active item. When the treectrl widget is created or when the active item is deleted, the root item will become the active element. This state can be modified by means of the widget command \fBactivate\fR. .TP \fBenabled\fR This state is set for every item, when it is created. It cannot be modified. .TP \fBfocus\fR This state is set for every item, if the treectrl widget has currently the focus. It cannot be modified by means of a widget command, but is maintained as reaction of a or event. .TP \fBopen\fR If this state is switched on, the descendants of the item are displayed - the item is expanded. If this state is switched off, the descendants of the item are not displayed - the item is collapsed. For a new item this state is switched on. It can be modified by means of the widget commands \fBexpand\fR, \fBcollapse\fR, or \fBtoggle\fR. .TP \fBselected\fR This state is set for every item, which is included in the selection. It can be modified by means of the widget command \fBselection\fR. .PP By means of the \fBstate define\fR widget command upto 27 additional \fIstateName\fRs can be defined. .PP Some widget commands expect a \fIstateDesc\fR argument, which is a \fIstateName\fR optionally preceded by an exclamation mark (\fB!\fR). If the \fIstateName\fR has no leading \fB!\fR it describes a currently switched on state, if it has a leading \fB!\fR it describes a currently switched off state. .PP Some widget commands expect a \fIstatePattern\fR argument, which should be a non empty list of \fIstateDesc\fRs. The pattern matches, if for every element of the list the \fIstateDesc\fR describes the same state as the item currently has. .SH "ELEMENTS" Elements are the smallest building block which are handled by a treectrl widget. One or more elements together can be combined to a style, which can be considered as a blueprint for an item. They can also be used to create an item directly by means of the \fBitem complex\fR widget command. An element can be of type \fBbitmap\fR, \fBborder\fR, \fBimage\fR, \fBrect\fR, or \fBtext\fR. For each element type there is a section below describing all options which can modify the behaviour of an element of this type. .PP There are some options which can be configured to get different values dependent on the state of the item in which their element is included. The values of these options are basically a list. If the list has one element, the value is valid regardless of the item state. A list with an even number of elements (\fIvalue\fR-\fIstatePattern\fR pairs) specifies different values for different states. For acceptable values of \fIstatePattern\fR see the section \fBSTATES\fR above. The last \fIstatePattern\fR can be empty, implementing a sort of \fIotherwise clause\fR. The options with this behaviour are called \fIper state options\fR. .SH "BITMAP ELEMENT" An element of type \fBbitmap\fR can be used to display a bitmap in an item. The following options are supported for bitmap elements: .TP \fB\fB-background\fR\fR \fIcolor\fR Specifies as a per state option the color to use for each of the bitmap's '0' valued pixels. .TP \fB\fB-bitmap\fR\fR \fIbitmap\fR Specifies as a per state option the bitmap to display in the element. .TP \fB\fB-foreground\fR\fR \fIcolor\fR Specifies as a per state option the color to use for each of the bitmap's '1' valued pixels. .SH "BORDER ELEMENT" An element of type \fBborder\fR can be used to add a border to an item. The following options are supported for border elements: .TP \fB\fB-background\fR\fR \fIcolor\fR Specifies as a per state option the color to use for the background of the border. .TP \fB\fB-filled\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR Specifies whether the interior of the border should also be filled with the specified background color. Default to false, which means that the background color of the tree is visible between the borders. .TP \fB\fB-height\fR\fR \fIsize\fR Specifies the height of the area of the border. .TP \fB\fB-relief\fR\fR \fIreliefList\fR Specifies as a per state option relief of the border. For acceptable values see the description of the \fB-relief\fR option in the \fBoptions\fR manual page. .TP \fB\fB-thickness\fR\fR \fIthickness\fR Specifies the thickness of the border. .TP \fB\fB-width\fR\fR \fIsize\fR Specifies the width of the area of the border. .SH "IMAGE ELEMENT" An element of type \fBimage\fR can be used to display an image in an item. The following options are supported for image elements: .TP \fB\fB-height\fR\fR \fIsize\fR Specifies the height of the image. .TP \fB\fB-image\fR\fR \fIimage\fR Specifies as a per state option the image to display in the element. .TP \fB\fB-width\fR\fR \fIsize\fR Specifies the width of the image. .SH "RECTANGLE ELEMENT" An element of type \fBrect\fR can be used to display a rectangle in an item. The following options are supported for rectangle elements: .TP \fB\fB-fill\fR\fR \fIfillColor\fR Specifies as a per state option the color to be used to fill rectangle's area. \fIColor\fR may have any of the forms accepted by \fBTk_GetColor\fR. If \fIcolor\fR is an empty string (the default), then the rectangle will not be filled. .TP \fB\fB-height\fR\fR \fIsize\fR Specifies the height of the rectangle. .TP \fB\fB-open\fR\fR \fIopen\fR This option may be used to get an incomplete drawing of the outline. \fIOpen\fR is a string that contains zero or more of the characters \fBn\fR, \fBs\fR, \fBe\fR or \fBw\fR. Each letter refers to a side (north, south, east, or west) that the outline will not be drawn. The default is \fB\fR, which causes the outline to be drawn completely. .TP \fB\fB-outline\fR\fR \fIoutlineColor\fR Specifies as a per state option the color that should be used to draw the outline of the rectangle. \fIColor\fR may have any of the forms accepted by \fBTk_GetColor\fR. If \fIcolor\fR is specified as an empty string (the default), then no outline is drawn for the rectangle. .TP \fB\fB-outlinewidth\fR\fR \fIoutlineWidth\fR Specifies the width of the outline to be drawn around the rectangle's region. \fIoutlineWidth\fR may be in any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. If the \fB-outline\fR option has been specified as an empty string (the default), then no outline is drawn. .TP \fB\fB-showfocus\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR Specifies a boolean value indicating whether a "focus ring" should be drawn around the rectangle, if the item containing the rectangle is the active item and the treectrl widget has currently the focus. .TP \fB\fB-width\fR\fR \fIsize\fR Specifies the width of the rectangle. .SH "TEXT ELEMENT" An element of type \fBtext\fR can be used to display a text in an item. The following options are supported for text elements: .TP \fB\fB-data\fR\fR \fIdata\fR Specifies raw data to be printed as text. .TP \fB\fB-datatype\fR\fR \fIdataType\fR Specifies the datatype which should be used to convert the value of the \fB-data\fR option to the text to be printed. Acceptable values are \fBdouble\fR, \fBinteger\fR, \fBlong\fR, \fBstring\fR, or \fBtime\fR. .TP \fB\fB-fill\fR\fR \fIcolor\fR Specifies as a per state option the color to be used as foreground color of the text. \fIColor\fR may have any of the forms accepted by \fBTk_GetColor\fR. If \fIcolor\fR is an empty string (the default), then the text will be displayed with the color specified as foreground color of the treectrl widget. .TP \fB\fB-format\fR\fR \fIformat\fR This option overwrites the default format choosen by means of the \fB-datatype\fR option. For a datatype \fBtime\fR \fIformat\fR should be a valid format string for the \fBclock\fR command, for all other datatypes it should be a valid format element of the \fBformat\fR command. .TP \fB\fB-font\fR\fR \fIfontName\fR Specifies as a per state option the font to use for the text. \fIFontName\fR may be any string acceptable to \fBTk_GetFont\fR. If this option isn't specified, it defaults to the font configured for the treectrl widget. .TP \fB\fB-justify\fR\fR \fIhow\fR Specifies how to justify the text within its bounding region. \fIHow\fR must be one of the values \fBleft\fR, \fBright\fR, or \fBcenter\fR. This option will only matter if the text is displayed as multiple lines. If the option is omitted, it defaults to \fBleft\fR. .TP \fB\fB-lines\fR\fR \fIlineCount\fR Specifies the maximal number of lines the text should be printed. If the doesn't fit into the area of \fIlineCount\fR lines with the configured width, it will be truncated at the right end and filled up with an ellipsis. .TP \fB\fB-text\fR\fR \fIstring\fR \fIString\fR specifies the characters to be displayed in the text. Non printable characters are displayed in their escaped form (e.g. a new line character is displayed as the two characters \fB\n\fR). If this option is specified, any values of \fB-data\fR, \fB-datatype\fR, and \fB-format\fR are ignored. \fB-width\fR \fIsize\fR Specifies the width of the area of the text. .TP \fB\fB-wrap\fR\fR \fImode\fR \fIMode\fR specifies how to handle lines that are wider than the text's area. Acceptable values are \fBchar\fR or \fBword\fR. .SH "ITEM DESCRIPTION" Many of the widget commands for a treectrl take as one argument an indicator of which item of the treectrl to operate on. These indicators are called \fIitemDesc\fRs and may be specified in any of the following forms: .TP \fInumber\fR Specifies the item numerically, where \fInumber\fR should be the return value of a prior call of the \fBitem create\fR widget command, or \fB0\fR to specify the root item. .TP \fBactive\fR Indicates the item that is currently active, i.e. normally the item specified as argument of the last successful \fBactivate\fR widget command, or the root item if no such call happened yet. .TP \fBanchor\fR Indicates the anchor item of the selection, i.e. normally the item specified as argument of the last successful \fBselection anchor\fR widget command, or the root item if no such call happened yet. .TP \fBfirst\fR ?\fBvisible\fR? Indicates the first item of the treectrl, i.e. the root item. If \fBvisible\fR is specified and the widget is configured with \fB-showroot\fR \fBno\fR, the first visible child of the root node is specified instead. .TP \fBlast\fR ?\fBvisible\fR? Indicates the last item of the treectrl. If \fBvisible\fR is specified and the last item is currently not visible, i.e. one of its father nodes is collapsed, the last visible item is specified instead. .TP \fBnearest\fR \fIx y\fR Indicates the item nearest to the point given by \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR. .TP \fBrnc\fR \fIrow column\fR Indicates the item in the given \fIrow\fR and \fIcolumn\fR. You can memorize \fBrnc\fR as abbreviation of "row 'n' column". .TP \fBroot\fR Indicates the root item of the treectrl. .PP The \fIitemDesc\fR may be followed by one or more \fImodifier\fRs. A modifier changes the item described by the \fIitemDesc\fR relative to the description upto this point. It may be specified in any of the following forms, all optionally followed by \fBvisible\fR: .TP \fBabove\fR Use the item one row above in this column. .TP \fBbelow\fR Use the item one row below in this column. .TP \fBbottom\fR Use the item in the last row of this column. .TP \fBchild\fR \fIn\fR Use the \fIn\fRth child of the item. .TP \fBfirstchild\fR Use the first child of the item. .TP \fBlastchild\fR Use the last child of the item. .TP \fBleft\fR Use the item one column to the left in the same row. .TP \fBleftmost\fR Use the item of the first column in the same row. .TP \fBnext\fR Use the next item, which is the first existant (or visible) item of the following list: the first child, the next sibling or the next sibling of the nearest parent which has one. .TP \fBnextsibling\fR Use the next sibling of the item. .TP \fBparent\fR Use the parent of the item. .TP \fBprev\fR Use the last child of the previous sibling, or the parent if there is no previos sibling. .TP \fBprevsibling\fR Use the previous sibling of the item. .TP \fBright\fR Use the item one column to the right in the same row. .TP \fBrightmost\fR Use the item of the last column in the same row. .TP \fBsibling\fR \fIn\fR Use the \fIn\fRth child of the item's parent. .TP \fBtop\fR Use the item in the first row of this column. .SH "EVENTS AND SCRIPT SUBSTITUTIONS" Beside of all the normal Tk events, which are generated as reaction of e.g. mouse movements or key presses, the treectrl widget generates at various places events created by treectrl widget: .TP \fB\fR Generated without detail whenever the active item changes. .TP \fB\fR Generated with the detail \fBafter\fR or \fBbefore\fR, whenever an item is collapsed. .TP \fB\fR Generated with the detail \fBafter\fR or \fBbefore\fR, whenever an item is expanded. .TP \fB\fR Generated with the detail \fBx\fR or \fBy\fR, whenever the origin of the window changes. .TP \fB\fR Generated without detail whenever the selection changes. .PP By means of the \fBnotify bind\fR widget command Tcl scripts can be specified, which will be executed whenever the event triggers. The command will be executed in the same interpreter that the \fBnotify bind\fR command was executed in, and it will run at global level (only global variables will be accessible). If the script contains any \fB%\fR characters, then the script will not be executed directly. Instead, a new script will be generated by replacing each \fB%\fR, and the character following it, with information from the current event. The replacement depends on the character following the \fB%\fR, as defined in the list below. Unless otherwise indicated, Some of the substitutions are only valid for certain types of events; if they are used for other types of events the value substituted is undefined. .TP \fB%%\fR Replaced with a single percent. .TP \fB%c\fR Replaced with the number of items that are currently selected for a selection event, or with the numerical id of the item, which will become the active item for an activation event, invalid for other event types. .TP \fB%d\fR Replaced with the detail of the event, or with the empty string if the event has no detail. Valid for all event types. .TP \fB%D\fR Replaced with a (possibly empty) list of item ids; all mentioned items will be removed from the selection. Valid only for selection events. .TP \fB%e\fR Replaced with the name of the event. Valid for all event types. .TP \fB%I\fR Replaced with the numerical id of the item, which is to be collapsed or expanded. Valid only for collapse or expand events. .TP \fB%l\fR Replaced with the lower bound, i.e. the first fraction as returned by the widget command \fBxview\fR for horizontal scrolling or \fByview\fR for vertical scrolling. Valid only for scrolling events. .TP \fB%p\fR Replaced with the numerical id of the item, which was the active item upto now. Valid only for activation events. .TP \fB%S\fR Replaced with a (possibly empty) list of item ids; all mentioned items will be added to the selection. Valid only for selection events. .TP \fB%T\fR Replaced with the path name of the treectrl widget. Valid for all event types. .TP \fB%u\fR Replaced with the upper bound, i.e. the second fraction returned by the widget command \fBxview\fR for horizontal scrolling or \fByview\fR for vertical scrolling. Valid only for scrolling events. .TP \fB%W\fR Replaced with the name of the object the event is bound for. This can be a widget path (then the string starts with \fB.\fR), or a generic tag. Valid for all event types. .SH "DEFAULT BINDINGS" Tk automatically creates class bindings for treectrls that give them the following default behavior. .IP [1] Clicking mouse button 1 over an item positions the active cursor on the item, sets the input focus to this widget, and resets the selection of the widget to this item, if it is not already in the selection. .IP [2] Clicking mouse button 1 with the Control key down will reposition the active cursor and add the item to the selection without ever removing any items from the selection. .IP [3] If the mouse is dragged out of the widget while button 1 is pressed, the treectrl will automatically scroll to make more items visible (if there are more items off-screen on the side where the mouse left the window). .IP [4] The Left and Right keys move the active cursor one item to the left or right; for an hierarchical tree with vertical orientation nothing will happen, since it has no two items in the same row. The selection is set to include only the active item. If Left or Right is typed with the Shift key down, then the active cursor moves and the selection is extended to include the new item. .IP [5] The Up and Down keys move the active cursor one item up or down. The selection is set to include only the active item. If Up or Down is typed with the Shift key down, then the active cursor moves and the selection is extended to include the new item. .IP [6] The Next and Prior keys move the active cursor forward or backwards by one screenful, without affecting the selection. .IP [7] Control-Next and Control-Prior scroll the view right or left by one page without moving the active cursor or affecting the selection. Control-Left and Control-Right behave the same. .IP [8] The Home and End keys scroll to the left or right end of the widget without moving the active cursor or affecting the selection. .IP [9] The Control-Home and Control-End keys scroll to the top or bottom of the widget, they also activate and select the first or last item. If also the Shift key is down, then the active cursor moves and the selection is extended to include the new item. .IP [10] The Space and Select keys set the selection to the active item. .IP [11] Control-/ selects the entire contents of the widget. .IP [12] Control-\\ clears any selection in the widget. .IP [13] The + and - keys expand or collapse the active item, the Return key toggles the active item. .IP [14] The mousewheel scrolls the view of the widget four lines up or down depending on the direction, the wheel was turned. The active cursor or the selection is not affected. .SH "SEE ALSO" listbox(n), image(n), bitmap(n), bind(n), options(n) .SH "KEYWORDS" tree, widget
