Tkinter wrappers for TkTreeCtrl and Tile

H

Harlin Seritt

I was looking at the Tcl/Tk sourceforge page and found that there were
a couple of new widgets being produced for Tcl 8.5. Does anyone know if
there are any Tkinter wrappers somewhere?

thanks,

Harlin

Harlin,


I can't see the web page saying these will be included in Tk 8.5 can you
give me the URL?

As far as wrappers go, if they don't exist (and I don't think they do)
it is fairly easy to create them provided they are written in a very
similar style to 'standard' Tk widgets. Somone usually steps up and
patches Tkinter.py to include changes in the Tk core, but usually only
when a new _final_ version is released...

Martin,

Take a look here:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/tkinter-discuss/2004-March/000010.html
It is a well-known post from what I understand. You may have already
seen it before. Actually, (as I'm looking at a 8.4 demo set from
ActiveTcl distribution), it seems the Tree widget has been added to the
8.4 set. I don't think the Tiles has been added just yet though.

Thanks, I must have missed it first time round...
after more googling I did find a reference to Tile going
into Tk 8.5 but it was not on the tcltk wiki recent changes
for 8.5:

http://wiki.tcl.tk/10630

Which made me think it will not go in.....

Cheers,
Martin.

Martin,

If I may ask, who actually works on the Tkinter module? Is there a
certain group that does this? I'm just curious as I've never been able
to find this information. I know there are, of course, someone who
develops Tk but just not sure who does this on the Python side.

Thanks,

Harlin

Harlin,

There is no Tkinter group of core developers, if somthing needs doing
then it is done by those who need it (AFAIK) I have made a few small
patches to Tkinter.py in the past and will do so again should I need to


I have been looking some more at Tile - it's come a long way in the
last few months (since the last time I looked at it), I have even
started writting a *test* wrapper for it (I first had to build tcl, tk,
tile and python from source!)

I have created a Style class (as a mixin like the Pack and Grid classes
in Tkinter.py

I have also wrapped the Tile.Button but right now it extends
Tkinter.Widget class (as it is starting to look like a large chunk of
work wrapping Tile from scratch;-)

That said I have got a Tile Button example working (and I can change
it's style) so perhaps not that much work

I've cc'd the tkinter mailing list to see if there is any more interest
over there...

Cheers

Do you happen to have a sampling of this that I can get my hands on??

Thanks for doing so!

Harlin,

Sure here is all 90 lines of it:-
