Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Does anyone know if it's possible to have an expandable, and collapsable HList? 
use Tk::HList;

my $mw = MainWindow->new();
my $label = $mw->Label(-width=>15);
my $hlist = $mw->HList(
    -itemtype   => 'text',
        -separator  => '/',
        -selectmode => 'single',
        -browsecmd  => sub {
        my $file = shift;
            $label->configure(-text=>$file);
        }
);

foreach ( qw(/ /home /home/ioi /home/foo /usr /usr/lib) ) {
    $hlist->add($_, -text=>$_);
}

$hlist->pack;
$label->pack;

MainLoop;

Re: HList Expand, and collapse?

    Tk::Tree is a subclass of HList that does what you are looking for.

      I have got to take my Perl/Tk knowledge beyond the "Learning Perl/Tk" book. There is so much stuff that I have no idea about, and it's part of the pTk default bundle?

      ++jasonk for reminding me of that.

      I just realized that I was using the same sig for nearly three years.

        Did you click the link? Go ahead and do it. Click the Tk::Tree link and find out.
