Re^3: Tk Listbox item padx

It was the mention of padx in the OP title that brought -ipadx -ipady to mind. These are pack options, but apparently -ipadx doesn't do quite what I imagined; this

c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -le
"use Tk;
 ;;
 my $mw = tkinit;
 ;;
 my $lb = $mw->Listbox->pack(-ipadx => 10);
 $lb->insert('end', $_) for 'four score and', 'seven years ago', 'our 
+fathers';
 ;;
 MainLoop
"
[download]

does not produce the left-hand border/indent I expected. Oh, well...

Give a man a fish: <%-{-{-{-<

The `-ipad` options are only available in a few places. Both the Tk::pack and Tk::grid geometry managers have them; I can't think of any others off the top of my head. The `-pad` options are more common. The geometry managers mentioned above, as well as Tk::form, have them. A number of widgets, such as Tk::Button and Tk::Text, also have them. — Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]
