Need Explorer Bar - Use Tk::Tree?

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

New Application. I want to display a tree of information in a frame using some kind of explorer bar mechanism. Each lowest level node, when selected, should allow a configurable list of functions (like a popup menu) when right clicked. Basically i am trying to make a GPL cross database server version of Microsft SQL Server Enterprise Manager. The best i am seeing is Tk::Tree, but I am finding no examples of the use of this kind of usage. Can anyone tell me if (a) the pop up with right mouse stuff is posssible and (b) where i might see some Tk::Tree's in action? Any other options besides Tk::Tree or is that the right one? Thanks Ed

Tk::Hlist is another possibility, it is capable of being used in a variety of ways, including hierarchical trees. I have not used it but, but have seen some apps with it. Search 'tk hlist' in the monastery here, there has been some discussions relating to it. Frank Herrman has an example using it on CPAN, or see it here: http://xpix.dieserver.de/content/perlmoduls/tk_dbi/ Hope you find what you need! jdtoronto	[reply]
