Re: treectrl widget

Update...

Here is the PERL code I now have:

    $rawtable{$tlabel}->notify_install("<<Edit-begin>>");
    $rawtable{$tlabel}->notify_install("<<Edit-end>>");
    $rawtable{$tlabel}->notify_install("<<Edit-accept>>");
    
    # List of lists: {column style element ...} specifying elements
    # the user can click on or select with the selection rectangle
    my $listlist = "";
    foreach my $coltag (@taglist)
    {
	$listlist .= sprintf("%s['%s', 'style1', 'elemRectangle', 'elemText']", (($listlist eq "") ? "" : ","), $coltag);
    }
    $listlist = "[".$listlist."]";
    printf "List of Lists: %s\n", $listlist;
    Tkx::TreeCtrl__SetSensitive ($rawtable{$tlabel}, "{COL1 style1 elemRectangle elemText}");
    
    # List of lists: {column style element ...} specifying text elements
    # the user can edit
    Tkx::TreeCtrl__SetEditable ($rawtable{$tlabel}, "{COL1 style1 elemText}");
    
    # During editing, hide the text and selection-rectangle elements.
	$rawtable{$tlabel}->g_bind ("<<Edit-begin>>", [\&begin_edit, Tkx::Ev('%I', '%C'), $rawtable{$tlabel}]);

	$rawtable{$tlabel}->g_bind ("<<Edit-accept>>", [\&accept_edit, Tkx::Ev('%I', '%C', '%E', '%t'), $rawtable{$tlabel}]);

	$rawtable{$tlabel}->g_bind ("<<Edit-end>>", [\&end_edit, Tkx::Ev('%I', '%C'), $rawtable{$tlabel}]);
    #
    return 1;
    #
} #end of display_rawdata

sub begin_edit
{
    my $eitem = shift;
    my $ecolumn = shift;
    my $ewidget = shift;
    #
    # example format: $gcanvas{$tabname}{statsheet}->item_element_configure ($itemv, $gcanvas{$tabname}{colids}[$colid], "elemText", -text => $coldata);
    #
    $ewidget->item_element_configure ($eitem, $ecolumn, "elemText", -draw => 'no');
    $ewidget->item_element_configure ($eitem, $ecolumn, "elemRect", -draw => 'no');
    #
    return 1;
}# end of begin_edit

sub end_edit
{
    my $eitem = shift;
    my $ecolumn = shift;
    my $ewidget = shift;
    #
    # example format: $gcanvas{$tabname}{statsheet}->item_element_configure ($itemv, $gcanvas{$tabname}{colids}[$colid], "elemText", -text => $coldata);
    #
    $ewidget->item_element_configure ($eitem, $ecolumn, "elemText", -draw => 'yes');
    $ewidget->item_element_configure ($eitem, $ecolumn, "elemRect", -draw => 'yes');
    #
    return 1;
}#end of end_edit


sub accept_edit #(item col elem txt)
{
    foreach (@_){printf "ACCEPT_EDIT Args: %s\n", $_;}
    my $eitem = shift;
    my $ecolumn = shift;
    my $eelement = shift;
    my $etext = shift;
    my $ewidget = shift;
    #
    my $curval = $ewidget->item_element_cget ($eitem, $ecolumn, $eelement, "-text");
    printf "CURVAL: %s\n", $curval;
    if ($etext eq "" || $etext eq $curval) { return 1; }
    #

#	$self _select $item setname $txt

    $ewidget->item_element_configure ($eitem, $ecolumn, $eelement, -text => $etext);
#    }
    #
    return 1;
    #
}


Questions:

First from the exanmple of ppm_repolist.tcl what does the command 
"$self _select $item setname $txt" do?  And thus its PERL equivalent if its really needed?

And it appears that the tcl command "set ::TreeCtrl::Priv(DirCnt,$tree) 0" is the key to enable the actual editing... any advice on what the PERL syntax for this would be?

Again thanks for the support and your patience,
gary
