.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.TP
\fBtreectrl\fR \fIpathName\fR ?\fIoptions\fR?\fR
.PP
The \fBtreectrl\fR command creates a new window (given by the
\fIpathName\fR argument) and makes it into a treectrl widget.
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.

Command-Line Switch:	\fB-backgroundimage\fR
Database Name:	\fBbackgroundImage\fR
Database Class:	\fBBackgroundImage\fR
.fi
.IP
Specifies the name of an image to draw as the list background. The image is
tiled horizontally and vertically to fill the content area of the list. If
the image is transparent it is drawn on top of the background color(s).
.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 a 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 a 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-defaultstyle\fR
Database Name:	\fBdefaultStyle\fR
Database Class:	\fBDefaultStyle\fR
.fi
.IP
Specifies a list of styles, one per column, to apply to each item created by
the \fBitem create\fR command. The number of styles in the list can be
different from the number of tree columns.
Each list element should be a valid style name or an empty string to
indicate no style should be applied to a specific column. The list of styles
is updated if a style is deleted or if a column is moved.
.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 a fixed height for every item

.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<ActiveItem>\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
Use \fBitem collapse\fR instead.
.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
See \fBCOLUMNS\fR below for details on the options available for columns.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn create\fR ?\fIoption value ...\fR?\fR
This command creates a new column in the treectrl widget. The new column is
placed to the right of all other columns (except the \fBtail\fR column). Any
\fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR arguments configure the new column according to the

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 in pixels
of the column specified by \fIcolumn\fR,
even if the treectrl is configured to not 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.

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.

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

The sort column can be specified by means of the \fB-column\fR option;
this option can be used repeatedly to define a multi column sort.
The sorting is done by looking at the \fItext\fR

\fIpattern\fR occurs for the object
the command will be invoked.
This widget command is similar to the \fBbind\fR command except that
it operates on any object in a treectl rather than entire widgets,

If all arguments are specified then a new binding is created, replacing
any existing binding for the same \fIpattern\fR and \fIobject\fR

augments an existing binding rather than replacing it).
In this case the return value is an empty string.
If \fIscript\fR is omitted then the command returns the \fIscript\fR

\fIpathName\fR \fBnumcolumns\fR\fR
Returns a decimal string giving the number of
columns created by the \fBcolumn create\fR widget command which haven't been
deleted by the \fBcolumn delete\fR widget command. The \fBtail\fR column
is not counted.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBnumitems\fR\fR
Returns a decimal string giving the number of
items created by the \fBitem create\fR widget command which haven't been
deleted by the \fBitem delete\fR widget command.
This number is always positive,
since a newly created treectrl widget has already the root item,
which cannot be deleted.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBorphans\fR\fR
Returns a list containing the numerical ids of all items
which has no parent item.
An item is created without having a parent,
and can later become an orphan again
by means of the \fBitem remove\fR widget command.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBrange\fR \fIfirst\fR \fIlast\fR\fR
\fIFirst\fR and \fIlast\fR must be an \fIitemDesc\fR.
Returns a list containing the numerical ids of all items
in the range between \fIfirst\fR and \fIlast\fR, inclusive.
The order between \fIfirst\fR and \fIlast\fR doesn't matter,
and the result is always ordered by the increasing index of the items.

\fIpathName\fR \fBstate\fR \fIoption\fR ?\fIstateName\fR?\fR
This command is used to manipulate the list of user defined states,
see section \fBSTATES\fR below.
The exact behavior of the command depends on the \fIoption\fR argument
that follows the \fBstate\fR argument.
The following forms of the command are supported:
.RS
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBstate define\fR \fIstateName\fR\fR
Defines a new state with the name \fIstateName\fR,
which must not be the name of a predefined or already user defined state.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBstate linkage\fR \fIstateName\fR\fR
Returns a string indicating
whether the specified state is user defined
by means of the \fBstate define\fR widget command (\fBdynamic\fR)
or predefined by the treectrl widget itself (\fBstatic\fR).
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBstate names\fR\fR
Returns a list containing the names of all user defined states.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBstate undefine\fR ?\fIstateName ...\fR?\fR

\fIpathName\fR \fBsee\fR \fIitemDesc\fR\fR
Adjust the view in the treectrl so that the item
described by \fIitemDesc\fR is visible.
If the item is already visible then the command has no effect;
otherwise the treectrl scrolls to bring the item into view,
and the corresponding \fB<Scroll-x>\fR and/or \fB<Scroll-y>\fR
events are generated.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBselection\fR \fIoption\fR \fIarg\fR\fR
This command is used to adjust the selection within a treectrl.
It has several forms, depending on \fIoption\fR:
.RS
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBselection add\fR \fIfirst\fR ?\fIlast\fR?\fR
\fIFirst\fR and \fIlast\fR (if specified)
must be the string \fBall\fR or an \fIitemDesc\fR.
Selects all of the items in the range between
\fIfirst\fR and \fIlast\fR, inclusive,
without affecting the selection state of items outside that range.
If one of the arguments is the string \fBall\fR,
all items of the treectrl widget are added to the selection instead.
A \fB<Selection>\fR event is generated.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBselection anchor\fR ?\fIitemDesc\fR?\fR
If \fIitemDesc\fR is specified,
the selection anchor is set to the described item.
The selection anchor is the end of the selection that is fixed
while dragging out a selection with the mouse.
The item description \fBanchor\fR may be used to refer to the anchor item.
This command doesn't modify the selection state of any item.
Returns the numerical id of the selection anchor item.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBselection clear\fR ?\fIfirst\fR? ?\fIlast\fR?\fR
\fIFirst\fR and \fIlast\fR (if specified)
must be the string \fBall\fR or an \fIitemDesc\fR.
If any of the items between \fIfirst\fR and \fIlast\fR
(inclusive) are selected, they are deselected.
The selection state is not changed for items outside this range.
If no additional arguments is given
or one of the arguments is the string \fBall\fR,
the selection is completely cleared instead.
A \fB<Selection>\fR event is generated.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBselection count\fR\fR
Returns an integer indicating the number
of items in the treectrl that are currently selected.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBselection get\fR\fR
Returns a list containing the numerical ids of
all of the items in the treectrl that are currently selected.
If there are no items selected in the treectrl then an empty
string is returned.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBselection includes\fR \fIitemDesc\fR\fR
Returns 1 if the item indicated by \fIitemDesc\fR is currently
selected, 0 if it isn't.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBselection modify\fR \fIselect\fR \fIdeselect\fR\fR
Both arguments \fIselect\fR and \fIdeselect\fR must be
the string \fBall\fR or a possibly empty list of \fIitemDesc\fRs.
Selects all of the items described by \fIselect\fR,
then deselects all items described by \fIdeselect\fR,
without affecting the selection state of any item
not mentioned in both arguments.
If one item is described in both arguments \fIselect\fR and \fIdeselect\fR,
it is added to the selection.
A \fB<Selection>\fR event is generated.

\fIpathName\fR \fBstyle\fR \fIoption\fR ?\fIelement\fR? ?\fIarg arg ...\fR?\fR
This command is used to manipulate styles, which could be considered
as a geometry manager for the elements of one item.
The exact behavior of the command depends on the \fIoption\fR argument
that follows the \fBstyle\fR argument.
The following forms of the command are supported:
.RS
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBstyle cget\fR \fIstyle\fR \fIoption\fR\fR
This command returns the current value of the option named \fIoption\fR

\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the
\fBstyle configure\fR widget command.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBstyle configure\fR \fIstyle\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 style given by \fIstyle\fR
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 options for \fIstyle\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) in \fIstyle\fR;
in this case the command returns an empty string.
.sp
The options of a style have effect on all elements managed by the style.
The following options are supported:
.RS
.TP
\fB\fB-orient\fR\fR \fIvarName\fR
This option specifies which orientation should be used
when laying out the elements associated with this style.

\fIpathName\fR \fBstyle create\fR \fIstyle\fR ?\fIoption value ...\fR?\fR
Create a new style in \fIpathName\fR with name \fIstyle\fR.
After \fIstyle\fR there may be any number of \fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR
pairs, each of which sets one of the configuration options
for the style.  These same \fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR pairs may be
used in \fBstyle configure\fR widget commands to change the style's
configuration.
Returns the name of the new style.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBstyle delete\fR ?\fIstyle ...\fR?\fR
Deletes each of the named styles and returns an empty string.
If a style is deleted while it is still used to display
one or more items,
it is also removed from the style list of these items.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBstyle elements\fR \fIstyle\fR ?\fIelementList\fR?\fR
Specifies the elements which should be layed out by this style.
Each element of \fIelementList\fR must be the name of an element
created by the widget command \fBelement create\fR.
Duplicate names in \fIelementList\fR are ignored.
An element which was specified in a former call of this command
for \fIstyle\fR but is not included in \fIelementList\fR,
will be deleted from the elements layed out by \fIstyle\fR.

\fIpathName\fR \fBstyle layout\fR \fIstyle\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 options used by \fIstyle\fR for laying out \fIelement\fR
instead of modifying options for the overall treectrl widget.
If no \fIoption\fR is specified, the command returns a list with
\fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR pairs describing
all of the available options for the layout.
If \fIoption\fR is specified with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns
the value of the named option.
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 the layout;
in this case the command returns an empty string.

.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
Columns in a treectrl may be named in either of two ways: by number or by tag.
If a number is given it must be an integer from zero to \fIN\fR, where \fIN\fR
is one less than the result of the \fBnumcolumns\fR widget command.
A column may also be named by the value of its \fB-tag\fR configuration
option.
.PP
There is always one special column, the \fBtail\fR 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.

.TP
\fB\fB-squeeze\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
Specifies a boolean value that indicates whether or not the column should
shrink when the content width of the treectrl is less than the total needed width
of all visible columns. Defaults to false, which means the column will not get
smaller than its needed width. The column will not get smaller than the value
of its \fB-minwidth\fR option, if specified. This option has no effect if the

is calculated as the maximum of:
a) the width requested by items;
b) the width requested the column header;
c) and the column \fB-minwidth\fR.
This calculated width is also affected by the \fB-expand\fR option of all
columns.
.TP
\fB\fB-widthhack\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
Indicates whether or not all items should have the same width. This option only
has effect when all of these conditions are met:
a) the tree \fB-orientation\fR option is \fBvertical\fR;
b) only a single tree column is visible;
c) the single visible tree column \fB-width\fR option is zero;
d) and the tree \fB-wrap\fR option results in wrapping.
.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 <FocusIn> or <FocusOut> 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.

.SH "EVENTS AND SCRIPT SUBSTITUTIONS"
Many Tk widgets communicate with the outside world via \fB-command\fR
callbacks and/or virtual events. A treectrl widget uses
\fIquasi-events\fR which are like virtual events but each quasi-event can
have its own event details and set of %-substitutions.
.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.
.PP
The following %-substitutions are valid for all events:
.TP
\fB%%\fR Replaced with a single %
.TP
\fB%d\fR The detail name
.TP
\fB%e\fR The event name
.TP
\fB%W\fR The object argument to the \fBnotify bind\fR command
.TP
\fB%T\fR The treectrl widget which generated the event
.PP
The following events may be generated by a treectrl widget:
.TP
\fB<ActiveItem>\fR
Generated whenever the active item changes.
.RS
.TP
\fB%c\fR The current active item

.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.
