1. Remove option -variable 2. Remove variable _varName which held the value of option -variable 3. Use variable _unsavedSelection in place of $_varName when a value must be stored 4. Add option -command 5. Add variable _command which holds the value of option -command 6. Set the default value for option -help to 1 7. Add command _userCommand to evaluate $_command at stack level #0. _userCommand is called whenever the selected color changes, i.e. instead of setting $_varName. 8. To avoid issues with trace, fully qualify ::SelectColor::_unsavedSelection when its value is set or it is used in a trace command. 9. Use 8.4-compatible syntax for string indices in "string range" commands. 10. Amend SelectColor::_SetWithoutTrace so it sets the colors in the Color Selectors when the value in the entry widget changes.

PURPOSE Tracing the variable set by the "-variable" option is too awkward in practice, and so the "-variable" option has been replaced with "-command" which allows the caller to specify a command to be executed whenever the selected color changes.

The use of the -command option is now included in the demo.

The properties of DynamicHelp balloon help have been changed in the demo, to make the text easier to read.

The manual page has been updated to reflect the changes in color.tcl. file: [3506171357] check-in: [9f462bd2fa] user: kjnash branch: patch-75101, size: 31534

* color.tcl (SelectColor::menu): use native dialog for palette menu item where possible (and Widget::theme is used).

* color.tcl: use toplevel instead of menu for dropdown color menu and do better focus/grab restoration.

Please checkout this latest version and give it a spin through your applications and tests. I am available to fix any and every bug that crops up, as I want to see this in really good shape for the next ActiveTcl release (which will follow the next Tcl release shortly).

* arrow.tcl, bitmap.tcl, button.tcl, buttonbox.tcl, color.tcl, * combobox.tcl, dialog.tcl, dragsite.tcl, dropsite.tcl, entry.tcl * font.tcl, label.tcl, labelentry.tcl, labelframe.tcl, listbox.tcl * mainframe.tcl, messagedlg.tcl, notebook.tcl, pagesmgr.tcl * panedw.tcl, passwddlg.tcl, progressbar.tcl, progressdlg.tcl * scrollframe.tcl, scrollview.tcl, scrollw.tcl, separator.tcl * spinbox.tcl, titleframe.tcl, tree.tcl, utils.tcl, widget.tcl * xpm2image.tcl: Revamp again to let core Widget commands handle most of the esoteric work of creating and destroying widgets properly in the BWidget environment.

The command Widget::define defines a class, its filename and a list of classes which it uses. This command handles creating the command to create new widgets, creates a ::use command for the class and calls the ::use command for each class included.

The command Widget::create does the renaming of the widget to $path:cmd and creates the proc to redirect the widget commands.

Widget::destroy now does the rename $path "" that almost all widgets do.

* button.tcl: Added a -state option to configure the state of the entire box at once.

Added new insert and delete subcommands.

Added an after cancel to stop button repeat upon release. [Bug 697022]

* combobox.tcl: Added -bwlistbox, -listboxwidth and -hottrack options. -images option already existed, but now it actually does something.

Added getlistbox, get, icursor, post and unpost subcommands.

* dynhelp.tcl: Added add subcommand to replace the (now) deprecated register command. The new command adds for a lot more flexibility in applying dynamic help.

Help popup now comes up -topmost 1 on Windows if available.

* entry.tcl: Added -disabledbackground option so that the BWidget entry more closely resembles the standard Tk entry. [Bug 638236].

* init.tcl: Moved Widget::traverseTo into widget.tcl.

* label.tcl: Renamed BWLabel class to just Label.

* listbox.tcl: Added a default -dropcmd so that if -dragenabled and -dropenabled are true, drag-and-drop within the same widget is possible without any other options.

Added -autofocus option to specify that clicking within the listbox should draw the focus in order to handle mouse wheel events.

Added -selectfill option for drawing a full selection rectangle around selected items instead of just around the item.

Added getcanvas subcommand. [Bug 436762].

bindImage and bindText now map %W to $path in order to get an accurate path in events. This can probably be fixed better when we have more control over event parameters. [Bug 607745]

Added mouse wheel bindings by default.

Added <<ListboxSelect>> event when selection changes.

* mainframe.tcl: Fixed bug for adding CTRL-F items to a mainframe [Bug 784269]

* messagedlg.tcl: Added -buttonwidth option.

* notebook.tcl: Added dynamic help to tabs.

Added -tabpady option to specify the padding between the text and the tab.

Notebooks now handle multi-line text properly. [Bug 565284]

* scrollview.tcl: Rewritten to use a variable per path instead of a big array.

* tree.tcl: Added -anchor option to nodes to specify the anchor for an image or window when displayed.

Added -crossopenimage, -crosscloseimage, -crossopenbitmap and -crossclosebitmap options to change the open / close cross.

Added mouse wheel bindings by default.

Added toggle subcommand to toggle a single tree node.

Added <<TreeSelect>> event when selection changes.

The characters "& | ^ !" are all converted to | silently in node names. This is to avoid errors because these characters are special to the canvas widget. [Bug 746960]

bindImage and bindText now map %W to $path in order to get an accurate path in events. This can probably be fixed better when we have more control over event parameters. [Bug 607745]

* utils.tcl: Added BWidget::wrongNumArgsString command to return a standard wrong # args error string.

Added BWidget::classes command that returns a list of all classes required by a given class.

Added BWidget::inuse command to determine if a given class is inuse.

Added BWidget::library command to return a body of code that can be saved into a project or other code based on the given classes. When called with a list of classes, all the classes and code necessary to use those classes is returned in a large string which can then be written out to a file.

Added BWidget::write command to write to a given file the current set of classes that are in use.

Added BWidget::bindMouseWheel command to setup default mouse bindings on a given widget.

* widget.tcl: Added a new option type 'Padding' which will accept the standard padding arguments in Tcl 8.4+.

Added Widget::define command to define a new BWidget class.

Added Widget::create command to create a BWidget properly.

Widget::destroy now attempts to delete a widget command created through Widget::create.

Added Widget::options command to return the current options of a given widget in a style that can be used to serialize a widget.

Added Widget::getOption command to get options based on children having the same option.

* wizard.tcl: Added new Wizard widget. file: [0ae3d4c6d4] check-in: [b363fd16f2] user: damonc branch: trunk, size: 14235

Added the ability to bind dynamic help to individual items or tags on a canvas.

* color.tcl (SelectColor::menu): added tkwait and update to make sure that the grab doesn't fail on Unix.
