Re: perl/Tk and expandable widgets

Would you be able to use a Tk::Table instead of the Tk::ROText?. It will handle the layout issues you are looking for fairly easily, and you can attach sort bindings to the "header" cells.

The drawback is Tk::Table has poor performance if the table is large; more than 1000 or so entries.

tktable for Tcl/Tk http://tktable.sourceforge.net/ is optimized for good performance. So if you'll move to Tcl::Tk then you will gain performance. Compared to perl/Tk, Tcl::Tk is better WRT performance in many ways, see for example Comparing Tcl::Tk and perlTk WRT speed	[reply]

tkTable = Tk::TableMatrix in Perl/Tk. It was renamed since there was already a Tk::Table present. TableMatrix does offer a decent boost in performance over other options in Tk. Is Tcl::Tk a bit faster? Sure, however for typical applications I would argue that the performance difference is not noticable -- at least, IMO. Most of the time, GUIs aren't really doing all that much. It's the application logic triggered by the GUI where you tend to get into trouble.	[reply]

Faster startup time is good but isn't really important; what is important in Tcl::Tk (as opposed to perl/Tk) is ability to use tcl widgets without any preparation or adaptation.
