DESCRIPTION

The HdrResizeButton widget provides a resizeable button widget for use in an HList column header. When placed in the column header, the right edge of the widget can be selected and dragged to a new location to change the size of the HList column. When resizing the column, a column bar will also be placed over the HList indicating the eventual size of the HList column. A command can also be bound to the button to do things like sorting the column. On DoubleClicking a Column it is closed / re-opened. A Right-ButtonClick will resize the column to the fit the needs of all the column contents.

The widget takes all the options that a standard Button does. Note: For a proper operationthe following option MUST be specified during creation:

-column

The column number that this HdrResizeButton is associated with. (It has to be provided to resize the appropriate column).

In addition, the following options may be specified:

-command

The default command is associated with an open/close function for the selected column. The function is called with a Tk::HdrResizeButton 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 used for the specific column (during resize).

UPDATES

Updated by Slaven Rezic and Frank Herrmann, Enhanced/Modified by Michael Krause <KrauseM@gmx.net>

DONE (MK) position columnbar correctly and only use MoveColumnBar to move it instead of destroying it and re-creating with CreateColumnBar

(???) use Subwidget('scrolled') if it exists

DONE (MK) don't give error if -command is not specified

DONE (MK) don't let the user hide columns (minwidth?)
