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'''

    package require BWidget

    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

2003-03-13, [Svenn Bjerkem]: Tried this example with ActiveTCL 8.4.0.1 and got following error:
 bad option "identify": must be cget or configure
    while executing
 "$w identify $x $y"
    (procedure "::tk::panedwindow::Motion" line 3)
    invoked from within
 "::tk::panedwindow::Motion . 102 2 "
    (command bound to event)

checked the documentation for tk builtins for tk and found that the widget panedwindow has the command identify. For some reason I want to use BWidget, but use the builtin. How come?

Recently, [George Petasis] answered the following question on comp.lang.tcl:

What can I do to make native Tk widgets and BWidgets look closer, when using
them on Linux?

George answered:
 option add *highlightBackground [. cget -background]

(this will make your white borders the same colour as the rest of
the window...)

If you want to remove completely these "frames", simply use:

 option add *highlightThickness 0
