Hi Jeff,<br>
<br>
I've actually wrote an Itcl spreadsheet widget which is 100% Tcl code.
It uses a<br>
canvas and text widgets. It has the basic features that I need and it
has a similar<br>
look and feel of MS Excel in the way cells are selected (expandable
selection box)<br>
and the ability to change font and colors for characters within a cell
(using tags within<br>
the text widget). The only downside is that it's slow for large tables.
TkTable is much<br>
faster drawing large tables because it's written in C and that was my
main motivation<br>
for scrapping what I have, however, it doesn't seem to have everything
I need in order<br>
to make it work the way I need it to.<br>
<br>
Were you able to take a look at the one suggestion I had about
resizing? Basically,<br>
you would only resize the non-title cells only when Button 1 is
released. This could<br>
be an option that is almost a must have for very large tables,
especially, if each cell<br>
is a text widget or some other widget.<br>
<br>
Just curious, how come you didn't make each cell just a text widget?
Then it would<br>
have all it's built-in capabilities?<br>

Why is it that the current basic cell features don't suffice
for recreating the basics of MS Excel? Perhaps you should
consider the "moving" entry widget that was described earlier.
