The +list entries are indented and connected by branch lines according to +their places in the hierachy. + +Each list entry is identified by an B<entryPath>. The entryPath is a +sequence of B<entry names> separated by the separator charactor +(specified by the B<-separator> option). An B<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. + +=head1 DISPLAY ITEMS + +Each list entry in an HList widget is associated with a B<display> +item. The display item determines what visual information should +be displayed for this list entry. Please see L<Tk::DItem> +for a list of all display items. +When a list entry is created by the B<itemCreate>, B<add> or +B<addchild> widget +methods, the type of its display item is determined by the +B<-itemtype> option passed to these methods. If the +B<-itemtype> is omitted, then by default the type specified by +this HList widget's B<-itemtype> option is used. + +=head1 WIDGET METHODS + +The B<HList> method creates a widget object. +This object supports the B<configure> and B<cget> methods +described in L<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 +L<Tk::Widget|Tk::Widget> class. + +The following additional methods are available HList widgets: + +=over 4 + +=item I<$hlist>-E<gt>B<add>(I<$entryPath> ?,I<option>=E<gt>I<value>, ...?) + +Creates a new list entry with the pathname I<$entryPath>. A list +entry must be created after its parent is created (unless this entry +is a top-level entry, which has no parent). See also L<"BUGS"> below. +This method returns the +entryPath of the newly created list entry. The following +configuration options can be given to configure the list entry: + +=over 8 + +=item B<-at> =E<gt> I<position> + +Insert the new list at the position given by I<position>. +I<position> must be a valid integer. The position B<0> indicates +the first position, B<1> indicates the second position, and so on. + +=item B<-after> =E<gt> I<afterWhich> + +Insert the new list entry after the entry identified by +I<afterWhich>. I<afterWhich> must be a valid list entry and it +mush have the same parent as the new list entry + +=item B<-before> =E<gt> I<beforeWhich> + +Insert the new list entry before the entry identified by +I<beforeWhich>. I<beforeWhich> must be a valid list entry and it +mush have the same parent as the new list entry + +=item B<-data> =E<gt> I<string> + +Specifies a string to associate with this list entry. This string can +be queried by the B<info> method. The application +programmer can use the B<-data> option to associate the list entry +with the data it represents. + +=item B<-itemtype> =E<gt> I<type> + +Specifies the type of display item to be display for the new list +entry. B<type> must be a valid display item type. Currently the +available display item types are B<imagetext>, B<text>, and +$widget. If this option is not specified, then by default the +type specified by this HList widget's B<-itemtype> option is used. + +=item B<-state> =E<gt> I<state> + +Specifies whether this entry can be selected or invoked by the user. +Must be either B<normal> or B<disabled>. + +=back + +The B<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 B<-itemtype> option. Please see +L<Tk::DItem> for a list of the configuration options for +each of the display item types. + +=item I<$hlist>-E<gt>B<addchild>(I<$parentPath, >?I<option, value, ..., >?) + +Adds a new child entry to the children list of the list entry +identified by I<$parentPath>. Or, if I<$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 I<$parentPath> is B<foo>, then the +entryPath of the new entry will be B<foo.0>, B<foo.1>, ... etc. +This method returns the entryPath of the newly created list entry. +I<option> can be any option for the B<add> method. +See also L<"BUGS"> below. + +=item I<$hlist>-E<gt>B<anchorSet>(I<$entryPath>) + +Sets the anchor to the list entry identified by I<$entryPath>. The +anchor is the end of the selection that is fixed while the user is +dragging out a selection with the mouse. + +=item I<$hlist>-E<gt>B<anchorClear> + +Removes the anchor, if any, from this HList widget. This only +removes the surrounding highlights of the anchor entry and does not +affect its selection status. + +=item I<$hlist>-E<gt>B<columnWidth>(I<$col>?, I<-char>?, ?I<width>?) + +Querys or sets the width of a the column I<$col> in the HList +widget. The value of I<$col> is zero-based: 0 stands for the first +column, 1 stands for the second, and so on. If no further parameters +are given, returns the current width of this column (in number of +pixels). Additional parameters can be given to set the width of this +column: + +=over 8 + +=item I<$hlist>-E<gt>B<columnWidth>(I<$col>, B<''>) + +An empty string indicates that the width of the column should be just +wide enough to display the widest element in this column. In this +case, the width of this column may change as a result of the elements +in this column changing their sizes. + +=item I<$hlist>-E<gt>B<columnWidth>(I<$col, >I<width>) + +I<width> must be in a form accepted by B<Tk_GetPixels>. + +=item I<$hlist>-E<gt>B<columnWidth>(I<$col, >B<-char, >I<nChars>) + +The width is set to be the average width occupied by I<nChars> +number of characters of the font specified by the B<-font> option +of this HList widget. + +=back + +=item I<$hlist>-E<gt>B<delete>(I<option>, I<$entryPath>) + +Delete one or more list entries. I<option> may be one of the +following: + +=over 8 + +=item B<all> + +Delete all entries in the HList. In this case the I<$entryPath> +does not need to be specified. + +=item B<entry> + +Delete the entry specified by I<$entryPath> and all its offsprings, +if any. + +=item B<offsprings> + +Delete all the offsprings, if any, of the entry specified by +I<$entryPath>. However, I<$entryPath> itself is not deleted. + +=item B<siblings> + +Delete all the list entries that share the same parent with the entry +specified by I<$entryPath>. However, I<$entryPath> itself is not +deleted. + +=back + +=item I<$hlist>-E<gt>B<dragsiteSet>(I<$entryPath>) + +Sets the dragsite to the list entry identified by +I<$entryPath>.

I<Option> +may have any of the values accepted by the B<add> method. + +=item I<$hlist>-E<gt>B<entryconfigure>(I<$entryPath> ?,I<option>?, ?I<value>=E<gt>I<option>, ...?) + +Query or modify the configuration options of the list entry indentfied +by I<$entryPath>. If no I<option> is specified, returns a list +describing all of the available options for I<$entryPath> (see +L<Tk::options> for information on the format of this list.) If +I<option> is specified with no I<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 +I<option> is specified). If one or more I<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. +I<Option> may have any of the values accepted by the B<add> or +B<addchild> method. The exact set of options depends on the +value of the B<-itemtype> option passed to the the B<add> or +B<addchild> method when this list entry is created. + +=item I<$hlist>-E<gt>B<header>(I<option>, I<$col> ?,I<args>, ...?) + +Manipulates the header items of this HList widget.

The I<$col> +argument for this method must be a valid integer. 0 indicates the +first column, 1 the second column, ... and so on. This method +supports the following options: + +=over 8 + +=item I<$hlist>-E<gt>B<header>(B<cget>, I<$col>, I<option>) + +If the I<$col>-th column has a header display item, returns the +value of the specified I<option> of the header item.

The header item must exist, or an error +will result. If no I<option> is specified, returns a list +describing all of the available options for the header display item +(see L<Tk::options> for information on the format of this +list.) If I<option> is specified with no I<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 +I<option> is specified). If one or more I<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. I<Option> may have any of the values accepted by the +B<header create> method. The exact set of options depends +on the value of the B<-itemtype> option passed to the the B<header> +create method when this display item was created. + +=item I<$hlist>-E<gt>B<header>(B<create, >I<$col, >?I<-itemtype type>? ?I<option value ...>? + +Creates a new display item as the header for the I<$col>-th +column.

This was done for +backward compatibility purposes. The result is that there is a large +overlap between the B<item> method and the B<add>, +B<addchild>, B<entrycget> and B<entryconfigure> +methods. Whenever multiple columns exist, the programmer should use +ONLY the B<item> method to create and configure the display items +in each column; the B<add>, B<addchild>, B<entrycget> and +B<entryconfigure> should be used ONLY to create and configure +entries. + +=head1 KEYWORDS + +Hierarchical Listbox + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<Tk::DItem|Tk::DItem> + +=cut + + |
