Implementing support for the toolpalette has opened a big bag of worms. The current 0.9.95 code uses the toolbar API which was introduced with Gt+2.6 a long time ago. The toolpalette relies upon the newer 2.16 toolbar API which is completely different. The module itself is already a big one with well over 1800 lines of code (incl. comments). I've got the basic toolbuttons and spacers working which probably accounts for 98% of all toolbar objects. The API, however, does allow for the creation of checkboxes, radiobuttons and menus. I've done some work on these three groups but have come to something of an impasse at the moment. The 2.4 api allowed created grouping for radio buttons in a different way to the 2.16 version. This will take me some time to sort out. Of course, there will be knock-ons down the line, ie for the builder module. I shalln't upload NBs until this is resolved. However, I don't think that this will be too much of an issue.
Given this module some attention today. Added some of the more package wide options to the module and created customised handler for setting the month. (For some odd reason months are are counted 0-11 whereas days are 1-31.) There's still a little more to do to this one including the addition of code to store diary details. Here's the working test script to show the range of options at work. The percentage substitution string item %e explores something that I've been toying with, the name of the signal/event that initiated the call. Ok, a script can keep its own internal trace but who knows, it might prove useful. #--------------- # calendarTest.tcl #--------------- # Author: William J Giddings # Date: 07/05/09 #--------------- #!/bin/sh # the next line restarts using tclsh \ exec tclsh "$0" "$@" #--------------- package require Gnocl set cal [gnocl::calendar] $cal configure -day 8 -month 7 -year 1956 $cal configure -rowHeight 1 -colWidth 1 $ca...
