I have a multi-column Hlist using Perl Tk. I want to alter the data is some of the columns
Ideally I would like to do something like:
1. Put my cursor over the cell to be changed (a cell being for a specific row and column);
2. Use one of the mouse buttons;
3. Enter the new data
Steps 1 and 2 do seem to highlight the cell. However, I cannot then edit this.
I have looked in Mastering Perl Tk but I cannot see anything that gives this functionality for an Hlist.
So the question is, can this be done with an Hlist and if not what is the best way to approach the problem?
I sort of can see that having a table of entry boxes would give what I want but this may not be simple to implement and manage.
Any comments or answers will be gratefully received.
