COMMENTS:-

• The new version, 2.5, should be noted and documented here...
• Can't get the tree to work: ERROR: Invalid file (C:/Programme/Tcl/lib/tcl8.5/tkIcons)

gpset .mytree2 {
   /a
   /a/b
   /a/b/c
}

gpset .mytree2 {
   /a/b
   /a/b/c
}

1. In the tree widget, how do I get the horizontal scrollbar to work? -scroll x or -scroll xy don't work, only -scroll y works.
2. If I specify -action single and -command test in a gridplus tree statement, how do I know which item gets clicked? It seems that the callback proc didn't get any arguments. Does some kind of %var substitution take place like with bind?
3. The documentation states: ...Specifies text to be displayed for node (Must not begin with "+", ":" -or- "/").... But the various examples for gpset show that inserting entries like /a/b/c is perfectly ok...?

1. When I was working on GRIDPLUS 2.5 the ttk treeview didn't support "X" direction scrolling. I tried it recently with Tcl 8.5.8 and it still didn't seem to work.
2. The value of the array item for the tree will be set to the selected node. For example: If you created a tree called .mytree then the name of the node can be accessed as $(.mytree) - See "Selecting a Tree Node" in http://www.satisoft.com/tcltk/gridplus2/tree.html
3. This applies when specifying alternative display text as a node option. By default, the last part of the nodename (after the last "/") is the text displayed for the node in the tree display. It is possible to specify alternative text - See "Setting Specific Text For a Node" in http://www.satisoft.com/tcltk/gridplus2/tree.html#tree-gpset

• Expanding and collapsing a node with the (space)-key does not trigger the callback, while klicking on the symbol does...

  single/space {
      bind $options(name).tree <Button-1> "after 1 [list ::gridplus::gpTreeSelect $options(name) .$window $options(-validate) [list $command]]"
      bind $options(name).tree <space>    "after 1 [list ::gridplus::gpTreeSelect $options(name) .$window $options(-validate) [list $command]]"
  }
