You can use Gtk. Although I'm unfamiliar with Tk, I've used Gtk; and, as I understand it, Tk is easier to work with and produces good results. If, however, you become interested in Gtk, this is a good resource.	[reply]

Also, perl.com ran a two-part tutorial on using GTK-Perl, written by Simon Cozens. The URLs are http://www.perl.com/pub/2000/10/gnome.html and http://www.perl.com/pub/2000/11/gnome2.html. I've only personally gotten as far as the "Hello World" in the first part before getting distracted by other things, but it looks helpful. There's more information about GTK at http://www.gtk.org. Note that the big drawback to using GTK is that there's no stable Win32 implementation yet, although work's being done on in over at http://user.sgic.fi/~tml/gimp/win32/. -- Frag.	[reply]

Actually, I tried HLIST via TREE. (See previous sub about 15 down under dneedles2. It has two examples. I got 0 replies). The behavior I see is the selected item colors across the frame but unselected rows only color to the end of the text. It makes for a rather ugly app. Could you forward me an example that works?

It's possible that there are different responses with different OSes.. I'm not really sure if those two modules have really been tested with Win2k	[reply]

Regarding the autosize. I have no problem with regular widgets. I'm having problems with the column headings inside the widgets. For example, in HLIST and TREE there seems to be no way to stop the columns from resizing. The language doesn't seem to handle sub widet and row items very well at all.	[reply]
