Googie - There is a simpe way to write Itcl widgets, which work similar to Tk ones (becouse, as we know, Itcl objects work similar to Tk objects), but - it's important - without using itk (useful for starpacks).
To implement some widget, we need to write Itcl class like below:
class Widget { constructor {args} { set w [lindex [split $this "::"] end] ;# here we hack object name to be [Tk] widet tree compatybile # here parsing options while constructing widget, such as colors, layout, etc } destructor { destroy $w # btw. - we need to bind $w destroying event to delete $this object } protected { variable w ;# this is our widget path } # and here, whatever you need... }
This allows to do the following:
Widget .wid -some_option value pack .wid .wid some_method
...and Itcl syntax allows to implement such widgets in very, very easy way! :)
Have you some additional hints?
