MSW / 20. Feb 2003:
% event add <<Banzai>>
>> mind the lacking association with an actual event-sequence,
>> i.e. TRUE virtual events.DKF - I thought we supported virtual events without real event sequences backing them up already. In fact, I believe the core already uses quite a few of them for things like delivering modification notifications to text widgets...
MSW: If so, since when (and if so, I'll delete that point of course)?
% info patchlevel
8.3.3
% event add <<Banzai>>
wrong # args: should be "event add virtual sequence ?sequence ...?"DKF - I think you can just use the virtual event without having to event add it first...
EB: Yes, no need to add, just generate:
% info patchlevel
8.4.1
% event generate . <<Banzai>>
% bind . <<Banzai>> {puts "Banzai!"}
% event generate . <<Banzai>>
Banzai!MSW: aha! sorry then, feel free to delete this entry & thanks for the clarification :)
36. FW: An ability to set a scrollbar as disabled in Windows (usually represented as the scrollbar being "grayed out"). This is the recommended behavior for scrollbars that are not presently needed on Windows - at the moment, Tk handles this by simply making the elevator occupy the entire scrollbar.
DKF - This behaviour might have actually been implemented in 8.4.2 as part of fixing a bug! :^)
FW: Which bug? The one where the scrollbar locks up if you try to grab the elevator on a scrollbar that is not needed? 'Cause that happens for me.
DKF: Yes. That one.
FW: Yep, it is a general bug with Windows XP (unneeded but non-disabled scrollbars lock up when you try to manipulate their elevator), and now the disabling behavior has been implemented for all Windowses. Whee!
