Hi Monks

I'm trying to rearange the order of the folders in a notebook widget, I would like to sperate the folders , lets say: all in left and one in right , yet all I get are all the folders are aligned to the left. I didn't find anything at the books , maybe some of you monks got an Idea.

    It sounds like you have bit of misunderstanding as how those Tk::NoteBook tabs can be rendered. They follow flow layout. Here is a piece of demo:

    use Tk;
use Tk::NoteBook;
use strict;
use warnings;

my $m = new MainWindow();
my $mw = $m->NoteBook()->pack;
my $page1 = $mw->add("page1", -label => "page1");
$page1->Entry(-width => 10)->pack;
my $page2 = $mw->add("page2", -label => "page2");
$page2->Entry(-width => 15)->pack;
my $page3 = $mw->add("page3", -label => "page3");
$page3->Entry(-width => 20)->pack;
my $page4 = $mw->add("page4", -label => "page4");
$page4->Entry(-width => 25)->pack;

MainLoop;

    BTW, it is quite unfortunate that, the author of the Tk::NoteBook module even does not have the courtesy to test his demo code in his document, and the demo code is obviously wrong.

      Hi,

      Thank you for the reply , but this is not what I was looking for , as I wrote I'm trying to seperate the folders, let's say that I have all my topics at the left side of the notebook and now I want to add "help" folder , but I want it to be loated at the right side of the notebook.

      Thx
      michaelg
