This is an Example I asked the author of the tcl package about the widget tablelist ( i.e. [package require tablelist] ) Mr. Csaba Nemethi.
I think it's good to show an example on how to wrap the text of all the cells of a tablelist.
You have to understand there is
NO GLOBAL Wrapping Optionpackage tablelist is already found in ActiveTcl repository through the teapot/teacup system.
Just run the following command, if you have ActiveTcl installed, on your shell/terminal/DOS prompt to install package tablelist:
teacup update
The Example:
To configure and wrap the column number 3 of a tablelist on window path
.mytablelist :
package require tablelist
#Defining and displaying the tablelist
tablelist::tablelist .mytablelist -width 150 -height 10 -selectmode single -columns { 20 "Customer ID" 20 "First Name" 10 "Father Name" 15 "Last Name" }
pack .mytablelist
#This is the configuration line:
.mytablelist columnconfigure 3 -wrap true
Therefore, to configure and wrap
ALL the columns of a tablelist on window path
.mytablelist :
package require tablelist
#Defining and displaying the tablelist
tablelist::tablelist .mytablelist -width 150 -height 10 -selectmode single -columns { 20 "Customer ID" 20 "First Name" 10 "Father Name" 15 "Last Name" }
pack .mytablelist
#This is the configuration line:
#The list variable $lst should look like this after running the for loop below
# from column number 1 till the number of columns in the tablelist represented by $colCount
# {1 -wrap true 2 -wrap true 3 -wrap true ... $colCount -wrap true }
set lst {}
set colCount [.mytablelist columncount]
for {set col 0} {$col < $colCount} {incr col} {
lappend lst $col -wrap true
}
.mytablelist configcolumnlist $lst
