DESCRIPTION
The HList method creates a new window (given by the $widget argument) and makes it into a HList widget.
Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command line or in the option database to
configure aspects of the HList widget such as its cursor and relief.
The HList widget can be used to display any data that have a hierarchical structure, for example, file
system directory trees. The list entries are indented and connected by branch lines according to their
places in the hierarchy.
Each list entry is identified by an entryPath. The entryPath is a sequence of entry names separated by
the separator charactor (specified by the -separator option). An entry name can be any string that does
not contain the separator charactor, or it can be the a string that contains only one separator
charactor.
For example, when "." is used as the separator charactor, "one.two.three" is the entryPath for a list
entry whose parent is "one.two", whose parent is "one", which is a toplevel entry (has no parents).
Another examples: ".two.three" is the entryPath for a list entry whose parent is ".two", whose parent is
".", which is a toplevel entry.
DISPLAY ITEMS
Each list entry in an HList widget is associated with a display item. The display item determines what
visual information should be displayed for this list entry. Please see Tk::DItem for a list of all
display items. When a list entry is created by the itemCreate, add or addchild widget methods, the type
of its display item is determined by the -itemtype option passed to these methods. If the -itemtype is
omitted, then by default the type specified by this HList widget's -itemtype option is used.
WIDGET METHODS
The HList method creates a widget object. This object supports the configure and cget methods described
in Tk::options which can be used to enquire and modify the options described above. The widget also
inherits all the methods provided by the generic Tk::Widget class.
The following additional methods are available HList widgets:
$hlist->add($entryPath ?,option=>value, ...?)
Creates a new list entry with the pathname $entryPath. A list entry must be created after its parent
is created (unless this entry is a top-level entry, which has no parent). See also "BUGS" below.
This method returns the entryPath of the newly created list entry. The following configuration
options can be given to configure the list entry:
-at => position
Insert the new list at the position given by position. position must be a valid integer. The
position 0 indicates the first position, 1 indicates the second position, and so on.
-after => afterWhich
Insert the new list entry after the entry identified by afterWhich. afterWhich must be a
valid list entry and it mush have the same parent as the new list entry
-before => beforeWhich
Insert the new list entry before the entry identified by beforeWhich. beforeWhich must be a
valid list entry and it mush have the same parent as the new list entry
-data => string
Specifies a string to associate with this list entry. This string can be queried by the info
method. The application programmer can use the -data option to associate the list entry with
the data it represents.
-itemtype => type
Specifies the type of display item to be display for the new list entry. type must be a valid
display item type. Currently the available display item types are imagetext, text, and
$widget. If this option is not specified, then by default the type specified by this HList
widget's -itemtype option is used.
-state => state
Specifies whether this entry can be selected or invoked by the user. Must be either normal
or disabled.
The add method accepts additional configuration options to configure the display item associated with
this list entry. The set of additional configuration options depends on the type of the display item
given by the -itemtype option. Please see Tk::DItem for a list of the configuration options for each
of the display item types.
$hlist->addchild($parentPath, ?option, value, ..., ?)
Adds a new child entry to the children list of the list entry identified by $parentPath. Or, if
$parentPath is set to be the empty string, then creates a new toplevel entry. The name of the new
list entry will be a unique name automatically generated by the HList widget. Usually if $parentPath
is foo, then the entryPath of the new entry will be foo.0, foo.1, ... etc. This method returns the
entryPath of the newly created list entry. option can be any option for the add method. See also
"BUGS" below.
$hlist->anchorSet($entryPath)
Sets the anchor to the list entry identified by $entryPath. The anchor is the end of the selection
that is fixed while the user is dragging out a selection with the mouse.
$hlist->anchorClear
Removes the anchor, if any, from this HList widget. This only removes the surrounding highlights of
the anchor entry and does not affect its selection status.
$hlist->columnWidth($col?, -char?, ?width?)
Querys or sets the width of a the column $col in the HList widget. The value of $col is zero-based: 0
stands for the first column, 1 stands for the second, and so on. If no further parameters are given,
returns the current width of this column (in number of pixels). Additional parameters can be given to
set the width of this column:
$hlist->columnWidth($col, '')
An empty string indicates that the width of the column should be just wide enough to display
the widest element in this column. In this case, the width of this column may change as a
result of the elements in this column changing their sizes.
$hlist->columnWidth($col, width)
width must be in a form accepted by Tk_GetPixels.
$hlist->columnWidth($col, -char, nChars)
The width is set to be the average width occupied by nChars number of characters of the font
specified by the -font option of this HList widget.
$hlist->delete(option, $entryPath)
Delete one or more list entries. option may be one of the following:
all Delete all entries in the HList. In this case the $entryPath does not need to be specified.
entry Delete the entry specified by $entryPath and all its offsprings, if any.
offsprings
Delete all the offsprings, if any, of the entry specified by $entryPath. However, $entryPath
itself is not deleted.
siblings
Delete all the list entries that share the same parent with the entry specified by
$entryPath. However, $entryPath itself is not deleted.
$hlist->dragsiteSet($entryPath)
Sets the dragsite to the list entry identified by $entryPath. The dragsite is used to indicate the
source of a drag-and-drop action. Currently drag-and-drop functionality has not been implemented in
Tix yet.
$hlist->dragsiteClear
Remove the dragsite, if any, from the this HList widget. This only removes the surrounding highlights
of the dragsite entry and does not affect its selection status.
$hlist->dropsiteSet($entryPath)
Sets the dropsite to the list entry identified by $entryPath. The dropsite is used to indicate the
target of a drag-and-drop action. Currently drag-and-drop functionality has not been implemented in
Tix yet.
$hlist->dropsiteClear
Remove the dropsite, if any, from the this HList widget. This only removes the surrounding highlights
of the dropsite entry and does not affect its selection status.
$hlist->entrycget($entryPath, option)
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option for the entry indentfied by
$entryPath. Option may have any of the values accepted by the add method.
$hlist->entryconfigure($entryPath ?,option?, ?value=>option, ...?)
Query or modify the configuration options of the list entry indentfied by $entryPath. If no option is
specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for $entryPath (see Tk::options for
information on the format of this list.) If option is specified with no value, then the method
returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding
sublist of the value returned if no option is specified). If one or more option-value pairs are
specified, then the method modifies the given option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the
method returns an empty string. Option may have any of the values accepted by the add or addchild
method. The exact set of options depends on the value of the -itemtype option passed to the the add
or addchild method when this list entry is created.
$hlist->header(option, $col ?,args, ...?)
Manipulates the header items of this HList widget. If the -header option of this HList widget is set
to true, then a header item is displayed at the top of each column. The $col argument for this method
must be a valid integer. 0 indicates the first column, 1 the second column, ... and so on. This
method supports the following options:
$hlist->header(cget, $col, option)
If the $col-th column has a header display item, returns the value of the specified option of
the header item. If the header doesn't exist, returns an error.
$hlist->header(configure, $col, ?option?, ?value, option, value, ...?)
Query or modify the configuration options of the header display item of the $col-th column.
The header item must exist, or an error will result. If no option is specified, returns a
list describing all of the available options for the header display item (see Tk::options for
information on the format of this list.) If option is specified with no value, then the
method returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the
corresponding sublist of the value returned if no option is specified). If one or more
option-value pairs are specified, then the method modifies the given option(s) to have the
given value(s); in this case the method returns an empty string. Option may have any of the
values accepted by the header create method. The exact set of options depends on the value of
the -itemtype option passed to the the header create method when this display item was
created.
$hlist->header(create, $col, ?-itemtype type? ?option value ...?
Creates a new display item as the header for the $col-th column. See also "BUGS" below. If
an header display item already exists for this column, it will be replaced by the new item.
An optional parameter -itemtype can be used to specify what type of display item should be
created. If the -itemtype is not given, then by default the type specified by this HList
widget's -itemtype option is used. Additional parameters, in option-value pairs, can be
passed to configure the appearance of the display item. Each option-value pair must be a
valid option for this type of display item or one of the following:
-borderwidth => color
Specifies the border width of this header item.
-headerbackground => color
Specifies the background color of this header item.
-relief => type
Specifies the relief type of the border of this header item.
$hlist->header(delete, $col)
Deletes the header display item for the $col-th column.
$hlist->header(exists, $col)
Return true if an header display item exists for the $col-th column; return false otherwise.
$hlist->header(size, $col)
If an header display item exists for the $col-th column , returns its size in pixels in a two
element list (width, height); returns an error if the header display item does not exist.
$hlist->hide(option ?,$entryPath?)
Makes some of entries invisible without deleting them. Option can be one of the following:
entry Hides the list entry identified by $entryPath.
Currently only the entry option is supported. Other options will be added in the next release.
$hlist->indicator(option, $entryPath, ?args, ...?)
Manipulates the indicator on the list entries. An indicator is usually a small display item (such as
an image) that is displayed to the left to an entry to indicate the status of the entry. For
example, it may be used to indicate whether a directory is opened or closed. Option can be one of
the following:
$hlist->indicator(cget, $entryPath, option)
If the list entry given by $entryPath has an indicator, returns the value of the specified
option of the indicator. If the indicator doesn't exist, returns an error.
$hlist->indicator(configure, $entryPath, ?option?, ?value, option, value, ...?)
Query or modify the configuration options of the indicator display item of the entry
specified by $entryPath. The indicator item must exist, or an error will result. If no
option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for the indicator
display item (see Tk::options for information on the format of this list). If option is
specified with no value, then the method returns a list describing the one named option (this
list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value returned if no option is
specified). If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then the method modifies the
given option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the method returns an empty string.
Option may have any of the values accepted by the indicator create method. The exact set of
options depends on the value of the -itemtype option passed to the the indicator create
method when this display item was created.
$hlist->indicator(create, $entryPath, ?, -itemtype type? ?option value ...?)
Creates a new display item as the indicator for the entry specified by $entryPath. If an
indicator display item already exists for this entry, it will be replaced by the new item.
An optional parameter -itemtype can be used to specify what type of display item should be
created. If the -itemtype is not given, then by default the type specified by this HList
widget's -itemtype option is used. Additional parameters, in option-value pairs, can be
passed to configure the appearance of the display item. Each option-value pair must be a
valid option for this type of display item.
$hlist->indicator(delete, $entryPath)
Deletes the indicator display item for the entry given by $entryPath.
$hlist->indicator(exists, $entryPath)
Return true if an indicator display item exists for the entry given by $entryPath; return
false otherwise.
$hlist->indicator(size, $entryPath)
If an indicator display item exists for the entry given by $entryPath, returns its size in a
two element list of the form {width height}; returns an error if the indicator display item
does not exist.
$hlist->info(option, arg, ...)
Query information about the HList widget. option can be one of the following:
$hlist->info(anchor)
Returns the entryPath of the current anchor, if any, of the HList widget. If the anchor is
not set, returns the empty string.
$hlist->infoBbox($entryPath)
Returns a list of four numbers describing the visible bounding box of the entry given
$entryPath. The first two elements of the list give the x and y coordinates of the upper-left
corner of the screen area covered by the entry (specified in pixels relative to the widget)
and the last two elements give the lower-right corner of the area, in pixels. If no part of
the entry given by index is visible on the screen then the result is an empty string; if the
entry is partially visible, the result gives the only the visible area of the entry.
$hlist->info(children ?,$entryPath?)
If $entryPath is given, returns a list of the entryPath's of its children entries. Otherwise
returns a list of the toplevel entryPath's.
$hlist->info(data ?,$entryPath?)
Returns the data associated with $entryPath.
$hlist->info(dragsite)
Returns the entryPath of the current dragsite, if any, of the HList widget. If the dragsite
is not set, returns the empty string.
$hlist->info(dropsite)
Returns the entryPath of the current dropsite, if any, of the HList widget. If the dropsite
is not set, returns the empty string.
$hlist->info(exists, $entryPath)
Returns a boolean value indicating whether the list entry $entryPath exists.
$hlist->info(hidden, $entryPath)
Returns a boolean value indicating whether the list entry $entryPath is hidden or not.
$hlist->info(next, $entryPath)
Returns the entryPath of the list entry, if any, immediately below this list entry. If this
entry is already at the bottom of the HList widget, returns an empty string.
$hlist->info(parent, $entryPath)
Returns the name of the parent of the list entry identified by $entryPath. If entryPath is a
toplevel list entry, returns the empty string.
$hlist->info(prev, $entryPath)
Returns the entryPath of the list entry, if any, immediately above this list entry. If this
entry is already at the top of the HList widget, returns an empty string.
$hlist->info(selection)
Returns a list of selected entries in the HList widget. In scalar context, returns an
anonymous list of the selected entries. If no entries are selected, undef is returned in
scalar context, and an empty list otherwise.
$hlist->item(option, ?args, ...?)
Creates and configures the display items at individual columns the entries. The form of additional of
arguments depends on the choice of option:
$hlist->itemCget($entryPath, $col, option)
Returns the current value of the configure option of the display item at the column
designated by $col of the entry specified by $entryPath.
$hlist->itemConfigure($entryPath, $col ?,option?, ?value, option, value, ...?)
Query or modify the configuration options of the display item at the column designated by
$col of the entry specified by $entryPath. If no option is specified, returns a list
describing all of the available options for $entryPath (see Tk::options for information on
the format of this list). If option is specified with no value, then the method returns a
list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding
sublist of the value returned if no option is specified). If one or more option-value pairs
are specified, then the method modifies the given option(s) to have the given value(s); in
this case the method returns an empty string. Option may have any of the values accepted by
the item create method. The exact set of options depends on the value of the -itemtype option
passed to the the item create method when this display item was created.
$hlist->itemCreate($entryPath, $col ?,-itemtype=>type? ?,option value ...?)
Creates a new display item at the column designated by $col of the entry specified by
$entryPath. An optional parameter -itemtype can be used to specify what type of display items
should be created. If the -itemtype is not specified, then by default the type specified by
this HList widget's -itemtype option is used. Additional parameters, in option-value pairs,
can be passed to configure the appearance of the display item. Each option- value pair must
be a valid option for this type of display item.
$hlist->itemDelete($entryPath, $col)
Deletes the display item at the column designated by $col of the entry specified by
$entryPath.
$hlist->itemExists($entryPath, $col)
Returns true if there is a display item at the column designated by $col of the entry
specified by $entryPath; returns false otherwise.
$hlist->nearest(y)
$hlist->nearest(y) Given a y-coordinate within the HList window, this method returns the entryPath of
the (visible) HList element nearest to that y-coordinate.
$hlist->see($entryPath)
Adjust the view in the HList so that the entry given by $entryPath is visible. If the entry is
already visible then the method has no effect; if the entry is near one edge of the window then the
HList scrolls to bring the element into view at the edge; otherwise the HList widget scrolls to
center the entry.
$hlist->selection(option, arg, ...)
$hlist->selectionOption(arg, ...)
This method is used to adjust the selection within a HList widget. It has several forms, depending on
option:
$hlist->selectionClear(?from?, ?to?)
When no extra arguments are given, deselects all of the list entrie(s) in this HList widget.
When only from is given, only the list entry identified by from is deselected. When both from
and to are given, deselects all of the list entrie(s) between between from and to, inclusive,
without affecting the selection state of elements outside that range.
$hlist->selectionGet
This is an alias for the infoSelection method.
$hlist->selectionIncludes($entryPath)
Returns 1 if the list entry indicated by $entryPath is currently selected; returns 0
otherwise.
$hlist->selectionSet(from?, to?)
Selects all of the list entrie(s) between between from and to, inclusive, without affecting
the selection state of entries outside that range. When only from is given, only the list
entry identified by from is selected.
$hlist->show(option ?,$entryPath?)
Show the entries that are hidden by the hide method, option can be one of the following:
entry Shows the list entry identified by $entryPath.
Currently only the entry option is supported. Other options will be added in future releases.
$hlist->xview(args)
This method is used to query and change the horizontal position of the information in the widget's
window. It can take any of the following forms:
$hlist->xview
Returns a list containing two elements. Each element is a real fraction between 0 and 1;
together they describe the horizontal span that is visible in the window. For example, if
the first element is .2 and the second element is .6, 20% of the HList entry is off-screen to
the left, the middle 40% is visible in the window, and 40% of the entry is off-screen to the
right. These are the same values passed to scrollbars via the -xscrollcommand option.
$hlist->xview($entryPath)
Adjusts the view in the window so that the list entry identified by $entryPath is aligned to
the left edge of the window.
$hlist->xview(moveto => fraction)
Adjusts the view in the window so that fraction of the total width of the HList is off-screen
to the left. fraction must be a fraction between 0 and 1.
$hlist->xview(scroll => number, what)
This method shifts the view in the window left or right according to number and what. Number
must be an integer. What must be either units or pages or an abbreviation of one of these.
If what is units, the view adjusts left or right by number character units (the width of the
0 character) on the display; if it is pages then the view adjusts by number screenfuls. If
number is negative then characters farther to the left become visible; if it is positive then
characters farther to the right become visible.
$hlist->yview(?args?)
This method is used to query and change the vertical position of the entries in the widget's window.
It can take any of the following forms:
$hlist->yview
Returns a list containing two elements, both of which are real fractions between 0 and 1.
The first element gives the position of the list element at the top of the window, relative
to the HList as a whole (0.5 means it is halfway through the HList, for example). The second
element gives the position of the list entry just after the last one in the window, relative
to the HList as a whole. These are the same values passed to scrollbars via the
-yscrollcommand option.
$hlist->yview($entryPath)
Adjusts the view in the window so that the list entry given by $entryPath is displayed at the
top of the window.
$hlist->yview(moveto => fraction)
Adjusts the view in the window so that the list entry given by fraction appears at the top of
the window. Fraction is a fraction between 0 and 1; 0 indicates the first entry in the HList,
0.33 indicates the entry one-third the way through the HList, and so on.
$hlist->yview(scroll => number, what)
This method adjust the view in the window up or down according to number and what. Number
must be an integer. What must be either units or pages. If what is units, the view adjusts
up or down by number lines; if it is pages then the view adjusts by number screenfuls. If
number is negative then earlier entries become visible; if it is positive then later entries
become visible.
BINDINGS
[1] If the -selectmode is "browse", when the user drags the mouse pointer over the list entries, the
entry under the pointer will be highlighted and the -browsecmd callback will be called with one
parameter, the entryPath of the highlighted entry. Only one entry can be highlighted at a time. The
-command callback will be called when the user double-clicks on a list entry.
[2] If the -selectmode is "single", the entries will only be highlighted by mouse <ButtonRelease-1>
events. When a new list entry is highlighted, the -browsecmd callback will be called with one
parameter indicating the highlighted list entry. The -command callback will be called when the user
double-clicks on a list entry.
[3] If the -selectmode is "multiple", when the user drags the mouse pointer over the list entries, all
the entries under the pointer will be highlighted. However, only a contiguous region of list entries
can be selected. When the highlighted area is changed, the -browsecmd callback will be called with an
undefined parameter. It is the responsibility of the -browsecmd callback to find out the exact
highlighted selection in the HList. The -command callback will be called when the user double-clicks
on a list entry.
[4] If the -selectmode is "extended", when the user drags the mouse pointer over the list entries, all
the entries under the pointer will be highlighted. The user can also make disjointed selections using
<Control-ButtonPress-1>. When the highlighted area is changed, the -browsecmd callback will be called
with an undefined parameter. It is the responsibility of the -browsecmd callback to find out the
exact highlighted selection in the HList. The -command callback will be called when the user double-
clicks on a list entry.
[5] Arrow key bindings: <Up> arrow key moves the anchor point to the item right on top of the current
anchor item. <Down> arrow key moves the anchor point to the item right below the current anchor item.
<Left> arrow key moves the anchor to the parent item of the current anchor item. <Right> moves the
anchor to the first child of the current anchor item. If the current anchor item does not have any
children, moves the anchor to the item right below the current anchor item.
EXAMPLE
This example demonstrates how to use an HList to store a file directory structure and respond to the
user's browse events:
use strict;
use Tk;
use Tk::Label;
use Tk::HList;
my $mw = MainWindow->new();
my $label = $mw->Label(-width=>15);
my $hlist = $mw->HList(
-itemtype => 'text',
-separator => '/',
-selectmode => 'single',
-browsecmd => sub {
my $file = shift;
$label->configure(-text=>$file);
}
);
foreach ( qw(/ /home /home/ioi /home/foo /usr /usr/lib) ) {
$hlist->add($_, -text=>$_);
}
$hlist->pack;
$label->pack;
MainLoop;
BUGS
The fact that the display item at column 0 is implicitly associated with the whole entry is probably a
design bug. This was done for backward compatibility purposes. The result is that there is a large
overlap between the item method and the add, addchild, entrycget and entryconfigure methods. Whenever
multiple columns exist, the programmer should use ONLY the item method to create and configure the
display items in each column; the add, addchild, entrycget and entryconfigure should be used ONLY to
create and configure entries.
