JOB A working example of a pure TclOO megawidget. Wanted to gain some experience with TclOO, so what I basically did was to convert a snit widget into a TclOO megawidget.
Here is the code:
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------- # --- scrolledwidget.tcl # ------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Revision history of this code: # # Scrodget: # Scrodget enables user to create easily a widget with its scrollbar. # Scrollbars are created by Scrodget and scroll commands are automatically # associated to a scrollable widget with Scrodget::associate. # # scrodget was inspired by ScrolledWidget (BWidget) # # Copyright (c) 2005 <Irrational Numbers> : <[email protected]> # # This program is free software; you can redistibute it and/or modify # it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by # the Free Software Foundation. # # See the file "license" for information on usage and # redistribution of this program, and for a disclaimer of all warranties. # # ------------------------------------------------------------------------- # scrolledwidget: # 07.11.2011: Johann [dot] Oberdorfer [at] googlemail [dot] com # # A TclOO approach, just to see how difficult it would be to convert a # snit widget to tcloo.

Summary:
Comments and suggestions are welcome. Maybe it's time to start with a TclOO based megawidget extension.
