Tk::HMListbox is a derivitive of Tk::SMListbox that adds the
ability to include images, as well as text, as supported by the
underlying HList widget. The main physical difference between
Tk::HMListbox and Tk::SMListbox is that it is derived from HList. However,
the purpose of this widget is to provide a drop-in Tk::HList-based
replacement for Tk::SMListbox and Tk::MListbox, hence the interface is
designed to match that of Tk::SMListbox while providing most of the
features of Tk::HList.
Tk::HMListbox supportsall the options provided by Tk::SMListbox, but
adds the "-itemtype" column-configuration option.
Tk::HListbox lets the user create multi-column Listboxes with images
(icons) either in lieu of or along with text strings as selectable
options. One can also mix columns containing text, images, or both
in the same HMListbox.
Tk::HListbox is scrollable and supports the Scrolled() method.
I created Tk::HMListbox (a replacement for Tk::SMListbox and Tk::MListbox)
in order to add a column of tiny icons in my "jfm4" file manager application.
I also felt that such a widget would be useful to others, seeing that
nothing other than Tk::HList currently exists for creating a list of
selectable images, but which could be used in an existing application
that uses Tk::SMListbox or Tk::MListbox.
