I am pleased to announce version 7.1 of the multi-column listbox and
tree widget package Tablelist.
What is new in Tablelist 7.1?
-----------------------------
1. Added support for terminating the editing with one of the following
automatic postprocessings: (1) fill the column's selected cells;
(2) fill all cells of the column; (3) fill down within the column;
(4) fill up within the column (thanks to Blair J Basom for his
proposal).
2. The multi-line cell texts are now displayed vertically centered
within their rows, just like the single-line ones (thanks to Harald
Oehlmann for his proposal).
3. Fixed a long-standing bug due to which under some circumstances the
default values of several configuration options became theme-specific
even if the tablelist package rather than tablelist_tile was being
used.
4. Fixed a long-standing bug related to creating the expand/collapse
control images when handling the "-treestyle" option (thanks to
Nicolas Bats for his bug report).
5. Guarded against destroying a tablelist widget (e.g, by an "after"
callback) in which an interactive column resize or row/column move
operation is in progress (thanks to Ulrich Seidl for his bug report).
6. Handled the extremely rare case that the frame widget to be used as
parent of the edit window already exists (again, thanks to Ulrich
Seidl for his bug report).
7. Fixed a typo in the mega-widget utility file mwutil.tcl, introduced
in the previous release (thanks to Harald Oehlmann for his bug
report).
How to get it?
--------------
Tablelist is available for free download from the URL
https://www.nemethi.de
The distribution file is "tablelist7.1.tar.gz" for UNIX and "tablelist7_1.zip" for Windows. These files contain the same
information, except for the additional carriage return character
preceding the linefeed at the end of each line in the text files for
Windows.
Tablelist is also included in tklib, which has the address
https://core.tcl.tk/tklib
How to install it?
------------------
Install the package as a subdirectory of one of the directories given
by the "auto_path" variable. For example, you can install it as a
directory at the same level as the Tcl and Tk script libraries. The locations of these library directories are given by the "tcl_library"
and "tk_library" variables, respectively.
To install Tablelist on UNIX, "cd" to the desired directory and unpack
the distribution file "tablelist7.1.tar.gz":
gunzip -c tablelist7.1.tar.gz | tar -xf -
On most UNIX systems this can be replaced with
tar -zxf tablelist7.1.tar.gz
Both commands will create a directory named "tablelist7.1 with the subdirectories "demos", "doc", and "scripts".
On Windows, use WinZip or some other program capable of unpacking the distribution file "tablelist7_1.zip" into the directory
"tablelist7.1", with the subdirectories "demos", "doc", and "scripts".
How to use it?
--------------
The Tablelist distribution provides two packages, called Tablelist and Tablelist_tile. The main difference between the two is that
Tablelist_tile enables the tile-based, theme-specific appearance of
tablelist widgets; this package requires tile 0.6 or higher. It is not possible to use both packages in one and the same application, because
both are implemented in the same "tablelist" namespace and provide
identical commands.
To be able to use the commands and variables implemented in the package Tablelist, your scripts must contain one of the lines
package require tablelist ?version?
package require Tablelist ?version?
Likewise, to be able to use the commands and variables implemented in
the package Tablelist_tile, your scripts must contain one of the lines
package require tablelist_tile ?version?
package require Tablelist_tile ?version?
Since the packages Tablelist and Tablelist_tile are implemented in the "tablelist" namespace, you must either import the procedures you need,
or use qualified names like "tablelist::tablelist".
For a detailed description of the commands and variables provided by Tablelist and of the examples contained in the "demos" directory, see
the tutorial "tablelist.html" and the reference pages, all located in
the "doc" directory.
I am pleased to announce version 7.2 of the multi-column listbox and
tree widget package Tablelist.
What is new in Tablelist 7.2?
-----------------------------
1. Added the virtual event <<TablelistCopyFinished>>, generated by the
default bindings for the key sequences that terminate the editing
with an automatic postprocessing, when the copying of the new cell
value to some other cells of the column is finished.
2. Added the "-aftercopycommand" configuration option, specifying a Tcl
command to be invoked when after terminating the editing with an
automatic postprocessing, the copying of the new cell value to some
other cells of the column is finished.
3. Added the "-allowduplicates" column configuration option, specifying
whether the interactive cell editing is allowed to set the text of a
cell within the column to the text of some other cell of the column.
4. The demo scripts "bwidget*.tcl", "iwidgets*.tcl", "miscWidgets*.tcl",
and "tileWidgets.tcl" now also demonstrate how to use the new
"-aftercopycommand" and "-allowduplicates" options.
5. On Mac OS X/11+ Aqua the termination of the editing with subsequent
"fill all" action is no longer bound to the <Command-a> event (which
for most widgets on the Mac stands for "select all"), but to
<Control-Command-a> (POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY!).
6. Improved the performance of the photo image creation in the Tablelist
and themepatch code as well as in the demo scripts, by explicitly
specifying the "-format" option.
7. Adapted the scaleutil package to the recent improvements in the
"classic" theme by Emiliano Gavilan.
8. Adapted the default value of the "-selectborderwidth" option in
Tablelist_tile to recent changes in the "default" and "classic"
themes.
9. Eliminated the temporary hang-ups experienced sporadically during
scrolling in the presence of many embedded images (including tree
indentations) or multi-line cells (thanks to Laszlo Zoltan for his
bug report).

What is new in Tablelist 7.4.1?
Hi Csaba,
Many thanks for your great work with Tablelist, Wcb, Mentry, Scrollutil
and much else.
May I ask for one tiny, near-trivial change?
Please will you change the subject of these announcements to specify the
name and version of the package before the description? (So, for
instance, "ANNOUNCE: Tabelist version 7.4.1 Multi-column listbox and
tree widget package".)
This would make it easier for people, like me, whose newsreader elides
the title. At present, I need to open the message or scroll the
newsreader index to see how many versions behind I am, and therefore how
hard to think about updating. You're right, I am VERY lazy :-).
Thanks again
Alan

A couple of little peeves...
I downloaded Tablelist7.5 (I'm a long-term user of Tablelist and I
think it's great; many, many thanks.) I was interested to see the new
toggleswitch widget so I tried to run the tileWidgest2.tcl demo
script. This fails because it can't [package require tsw].
I'm not sure that I'm so interested to see the new widget that I want
to go ahead with downloading it, so I thought I'd look at the
documentation. The tablelist documentation has a new entry
"Interactive Tablelist Cell Editting Using the Tsw Package" that links
to https://www.nemethi.de/tablelist/tablelistTsw.html, but when I
click on it, I get a page inviting me to accept cookies and if I say
I'm happy with the cookie settings I have, I just get a blank page. I
don't get either the prompt or the blank page if I try to follow any
of the other "Interactive Tablelist Cell Editting..." links.
These are just little peeves; I think Tablelist is a great package and
I can't imagine life without it.
I've just fired up another browser and accepted cookies - https:// www.nemethi.de/tablelist/tablelistTsw.html does not look right *AT ALL*.

I am pleased to announce version 7.6 of the multi-column listbox and
tree widget package Tablelist.
What is new in Tablelist 7.6?
-----------------------------
1. Added the "-button2window" configuration option, which makes it
possible to redirect the mouse button 2 events of the tablelist's
body to the containing toplevel window, and is used by the
implementation of scanning support for scrollutil::scrollableframe
widgets.
2. The implementation of the interactive cell editing with the aid of a
(ttk::)menubutton now takes into acount that in Tk 9 the menu index
"none" was replaced with the empty string.
3. Eliminated a few artifacts related to the "showtargetmark" subcommand
when using TkDND on Windows or macOS Aqua (thanks to Nicolas Bats for
his bug report).
4. Made sure that the "autoscrolltarget" subcommand works as expected
(again, thanks to Nicolas Bats for reporting that on Windows and
macOS Aqua this was not always the case).
5. Made sure that in multi-line cell texts the substring "%W" won't be
substituted by the path name of the tablelist's body (thanks to
Harald Oehlmann for his bug report).
6. Made the column deletion by orders of magnitude faster (thanks to
Alexandru Dadalau for his bug report).
7. Minor improvements in the demo scripts related to interactive cell
editing.
8. Improved the documentation by extending the CSS stylesheet used in
the HTML files.

1. Added mouse and keyboard event bindings that invoke the "expand" and
"collapse" subcommands with the "-fully" option. See the updated
subsection "TREE WIDGET BINDINGS:" in the reference manual for
details (thanks to Torsten Berg for his proposal and testing).
2. Added explicit support for the "droid" theme, which is the default in
AndroWish.
3. Improvements related to the themes provided by the awthemes package
and the ones that are not explicitly supported by Tablelist.
4. Improved the interactive cell editing with the aid of the
toggleswitch widget.
5. The demo scripts "dirViewer.tcl" and "dirViewer_tile.tcl" now work
around the fact that on Android the directory "/" is normally not
readable.
