I don't really understand what you are trying to do, because I don't really know what access list-forms are. But when you say you want to repeat a set of widgets 1 to infinite times, it sets off a red flag in my mind. You can overload a Tk script with too many widgets, which can cause sluggishness. I think you would be better off explaining what the list-forms are, and looking for a "single widget" that can handle them line by line. Some possible widgets are Tk::TableMatrix , the Tk::Canvas, or maybe even a Tk::Text widget.

As an example to the Matrix style widgets.......

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Tk; use Tk::TableMatrix; use Tk::TableMatrix::Spreadsheet; my $top = MainWindow->new; my $arrayVar = {}; print "Filling Array...\n"; my ($rows,$cols) = (40000, 10); foreach my $row (0..($rows-1)){ $arrayVar->{"$row,0"} = "$row"; } foreach my $col (0..($cols-1)){ $arrayVar->{"0,$col"} = "$col"; } print "Creating Table...\n"; sub colSub{ my $col = shift; return "OddCol" if( $col > 0 && $col%2) ; } my $label = $top->Label(-text => "TableMatrix v2 Example") ->pack( -expand => 1, -fill => 'both'); my $t = $top->Scrolled('Spreadsheet', -rows => $rows, -cols => $cols, -width => 6, -height => 12, -titlerows => 1, -titlecols => 1, -variable => $arrayVar, -coltagcommand => \&colSub, -colstretchmode => 'last', -flashmode => 1, -flashtime => 2, -wrap=>1, -rowstretchmode => 'last', -selectmode => 'extended', -selecttype=>'cell', -selecttitles => 0, -drawmode => 'slow', -scrollbars=>'se', -sparsearray=>0 )->pack(-expand => 1, -fill => 'both'); #my $realmatrix = $t->Subwidget('scrolled'); $top->Button( -text => "Clear", -command => sub{&clear})->pack(-expand => 1, -fill => 'x'); $top->Button( -text => "Fill", -command => sub{&fill})->pack(-expand => 1, -fill => 'x'); $top->Button( -text => "Exit", -command => sub{$top->destroy})->pack(-expand => 1, -fill => 'x' +); $t->colWidth( -2 => 8, -1 => 9, 0=> 12, 4=> 14); $arrayVar->{"1,1"} = 42; Tk::MainLoop; ###################################################################### +#### sub TMRefresh { #Required input TableMatrix object. #use to force matrix to update, a code trick return if (!$_[0]); $_[0]->configure(-padx =>($_[0]->cget(-padx))); #$realmatrix->update; #$t->update; #$top->update; #$t->see("100,100"); #trick to force update? #$t->see("end"); #$t->see("1,1"); } ###################################################################### +### sub clear{ #$t->clearAll('0,0','end'); foreach my $row(1..$rows){ foreach my $col(1..$cols){ $arrayVar->{"$row,$col"} = 0; } } &TMRefresh($t); } ###################################################################### +#### sub fill{ foreach my $row(1..$rows){ foreach my $col(1..$cols){ $arrayVar->{"$row,$col"} = 1000; } } &TMRefresh($t); } ###################################################################### +#####

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Cogito ergo sum a bum
