Tk_Multi is a set of Tk composite widget to allow you to manage several scrolled Text or Canvas or TFrame (aka titled frame) widgets in your Toplevel window. The manager allows you to hide or show any managed text window through a menu. Tk::Multi::* widgets uses Adjuster to increase, decrease the window size, and a menu to print its content. Suggested DSLI entry for the Ptk module list: Multi:: Manager bdpO Manages the Multi widget in a Multi frame DDUMONT Toplevel bdpO Multi manager in a Toplevel widget DDUMONT Canvas bdpO A Canvas in the Multi frame DDUMONT Text bdpO A text widget in the Multi frame DDUMONT Frame bdpO A TFrame widget in the Multi frame DDUMONT This module was written with perl5.00502 and needs Tk800.013 to work. See the embedded documentation in the module for more details. Comments and suggestions are always welcome. Note that this module is in beta state. Its interface may still change (but I don't think so) I'd like people who actually use this module for their application to drop me a short note about what they're using this module for. Many thanks to Larry W. Virden, Achim Bohnet for all the tests, patches (and reports) they made. Many bugs were fixed and improvements were included thanks to their efforts. TO DO (well, bugs...): ---------------------- - The print pop-up menu should be replaced by a modified version of Albert W. Dorrington's PrintDialog. Once this is done, the Tk::Multi::Any class will be removed. Legal mumbo jumbo: ------------------ Copyright (c) 1997-1999 Dominique Dumont. All rights reserved.
