DESCRIPTION

A HList derived widget that has resizable columns, based on Header-ResizeButtons.

METHODS

headerCreate()

The create command accepts a new, virtual itemtype 'resizebutton', which will lead to a Header-button with a right-side located sensor for resizing. All options suitable for Buttons apply.

In addition, the following options may be specified:

headerCget()

This command allows with -widget to retrieve the Headerbutton-Widget Reference.

OPTIONS

-command

The default command is associated with an open/close function for the selected column. The function is called with a Tk::HeaderResizeButton reference for custom usage.

-activebackground

The background color used for the column Header during active state (Mouse over Header).

-activeforeground

The foreground color used for the column Header during active state (Mouse over Header).

-buttondownrelief

The relief used for the column Header Button during selected state (Button pressed).

-minwidth

The minwidth is used for the specific column (during resize), default: 30.

-closedminwidth

The closedminwidth is used for the specific column (while in "CLOSED" view), default: 10.

-resizerwidth

The resizerwidth is the resize sensor-area on the right border of the specific column, default: 1.

-headerstyle

An alternative Header style, which will be the default for all columns unless you specify -style ... for a dedicated header-create() call column.
