in reply to Drag & Drop Problem

Ace128, are you trying to make replacement module for Tk::Column (old, buggy and slow) or Tk::MlistBox (ugly)?

I could kill you for modified Tk::TableMatrix module, with sortable columns, drag and drop and whatnot (a'la windows explorer). Tk::TableMatrix is superfast and it would be soo cool?

Anyway, why does nobody ever create new widgets with Tk::TableMatrix? It's one of the most powerful widget available IMO. (I would do it if I could..)

    Well, dunno about Tk::Column (never used it). Tl::MlistBox - well, almost exactly like that, but more flexible what to put into the columns. Oh, and what else does Tk::TableMatrix has that is bad and wanted reimplemented? Actually, installing and running latest gives me following annoyances:

    Had to create Tk::XlibVtab unexpectedly at c:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 253.
    2442874 is not a hash at c:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/Widget.pm line 190.

    This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.

      Tk::TableMatrix which comes with Active State Perl 5.8.4 and later seems to be compiled against a wrong Tk-version, so it doesn't work (see also Some Tk::TableMatrix and Tk::MListbox excentricities). You have to download it from somewhere else, or compile it yourself.
