  in the <a href="#ex_browse">previous section</a>.&nbsp; In the following we
  will only present a few procedures that invoke tablelist commands not
  encountered in the examples above:</p>

  <blockquote>
    <pre>
package require Tk 8.3
package require tablelist 6.6

#
# Add some entries to the Tk option database
#
set dir [file dirname [info script]]
source [file join $dir option.tcl]

  </blockquote>

  <p>The procedure <code>displayContents</code> creates the tablelist widget
  and the two scrollbars as children of a frame of class
  <code>ScrollArea</code>.&nbsp; For this class, the file
  <code>option.tcl</code>, <code>source</code>d into the main script, contains
  some look &amp; feel related settings similar to the ones encountered in our
  <a href="#ex_config">first example</a>:</p>

  <blockquote>
    <pre>
option add *ScrollArea.borderWidth                      1
option add *ScrollArea.relief                           sunken

          <b>REMARK 3:</b>&nbsp; You can greatly simplify the creation of
          scrolled tablelists (and other scrolled widgets) by using a <a href=
          "http://www.nemethi.de/scrollutil/scrollarea.html">scrollarea</a>

          supports both static and dynamic scrollbars and respects the header
          component and title columns of tablelist widgets.&nbsp; With the aid
          of the scrollarea widget, the rather technical code in the above
          example can be replaced with just a few lines:

          <blockquote>

package require scrollutil(_tile)

. . .

<i># Create the tablelist within a scrollarea</i>
set sa [scrollutil::scrollarea ...]

        position.&nbsp; The new item position (if any) is visualized with the

        to its original value, specified by the <code><b>-cursor</b></code>
        configuration option.&nbsp; After releasing mouse button 1 in the
        presence of a valid target, the source item is moved before the target
        row or just before the latter's first child, and the virtual event
        <code><b>&lt;&lt;TablelistRowMoved&gt;&gt;</b></code> is
        generated.&nbsp; For Tk versions 8.5 and higher, this virtual event is
        generated with its <code><b>-data</b></code> option set to a list of
        length 3, whose elements are derived from the arguments passed to the
        second form of the <code><b><a href="#move">move</a></b></code>
        subcommand invoked for moving the source row to its new position.&nbsp;
        The first list element will be the full key corresponding to the first
        argument, the second one will be <code><b>root</b></code> or the full
        key corresponding to the second argument, and the third list element
        will be identical to the third argument passed to the
        <code><b>move</b></code> subcommand.</p>

        <p>Notice that, depending on the current mouse position during the
        local drag &amp; drop, there can be a corresponding potential target
        row or not.&nbsp; For instance, a tree item cannot become a sibling of
        one of its descendants, and not all items might be allowed to have
        children or to become top-level ones (example: in a file manager,
        regular file items cannot be parents of other items and should not be
        allowed to become top-level ones).&nbsp; To decide whether the row
        corresponding to the y-coordinate of the current mouse position
        represents a valid potential target, the Tablelist code first checks
        whether moving the source item before that row or making it a child of
        the latter is allowed from the point of view of the general tree
        structure.&nbsp; If this is the case and the move operation would
        change the source item's parent (and the Tk version is at least 8.3),
        and the command specified as the value of the <code><b><a href=

    SELECTION:</b>&nbsp; If the selection type is <code><b>cell</b></code> then
    a few further bindings apply to the header labels.&nbsp; In the description
    below the <code>Alt</code> key can be replaced with <code>Meta</code>; on
    Mac OS Classic and Mac OS X Aqua the <code>Command</code> key is used
    instead of <code>Alt</code> and <code>Meta</code>.&nbsp; Notice also that
    you can restrict the set of cells that will be selected when these bindings
    perform a column-wise cell selection:&nbsp; If the command specified by the
    <code><b><a href="#selectfiltercommand">-selectfiltercommand</a></b></code>
    option is a nonempty string then this command is concatenated with the path
    name of the tablelist widget and the numerical index of the respective
    column, and the resulting script is evaluated in the global scope.&nbsp; If
    another nonempty command was specified as the value of the option of the
    same name at column level then that column-specific command will be used
    instead of the global one.&nbsp; In both cases, only those cells contained
    in that column will be selected whose row numbers are contained in the list

        column, deselects everything else, and sets the anchor to the first
        viewable selected cell of that column; dragging the mouse with button 1
        down extends the selection to include all the columns between the
        anchor and the column under the mouse, inclusive.</li>

        <li class="tm">If the anchor column contains at least one selected cell
        then the range of selected columns can be adjusted by pressing button 1
        on a header label with the <code>Alt</code> and <code>Shift</code> keys
        down: this modifies the selection to consist of the cells of the
        columns between the anchor and the one under the mouse,
        inclusive.&nbsp; The un-anchored end of this new column-wise cell
        selection can also be dragged with the button down.</li>

        <li class="tm">Pressing button 1 on a header label with the
        <code>Alt</code> and <code>Control</code> keys down starts a toggle
        operation: the cells of the column corresponding to the clicked label
        will be deselected if at least one of them was selected before, and
        selected otherwise; in the first case the anchor is set to the first
        viewable cell of that column, while in the second case to the column's
        first viewable selected cell.&nbsp; The selection state of other cells
        is not changed.&nbsp; If subsequently the mouse is dragged with button
        1 down, then the selection state of the cells between the anchor column
        and the one under the mouse is set to match the toggled state of the
        anchor column; the selection state of all other cells remains what it
