Version 0 of How can I make effective use of the BWidgets toolset

Updated 2001-01-29 14:39:04

Purpose: to provide a community updatable web page demonstrating uses for the BWidget toolset, enhancing the docs, pointing to tutorials, etc.


Can anyone discuss the various cross platform issues relating directly to BWidgets? For instance, when I try the demo on a Mac using a Tclkit version of Tcl and Tk, I find a number of errors when trying to test the progress indicator, the -armcommand, the french and german language dialog boxes, the select color dialog box, etc.


What additional documentation is needed for BWidgets?

What new widgets have you written based on the BWidgets toolkit? Is the source available for re-use?


BWidget Examples

The BWidget documentation could really benefit from a few examples, illustrating some of the details.

Paned Window

    set pw [PanedWindow .topframe -side bottom]
    for {set i 0} {$i<5} {incr i} {
        set p [$pw add -minsize 100]
        set t [text $p.text]
        pack $t
    }
    pack $pw
    pack .topframe
