Folder widget

[fhutt]

Hello
Does anyone know of a folder widget similar to the ones shown by Windows Explorer in Windows?
I would like to create an application that required such a widget.
Thanks

That depends on what you mean by "similar". Have a look at the tree widget under BWidgets.

Thank you bong.
It is just the widget I need.
I now need to look for documentation that I can follow for this widget. To reverse engineer the demo is pretty hard.
Thanks again

DESCRIPTION

Tree widget uses canvas to display a hierarchical list of items (called nodes). Each node is composed of a label with its own font and foreground attributes, and an optional image or window. Each node can have a list of subnodes, which can be collapsed or expanded. Each node is drawn in a single line, whose height is defined by the deltay option, so they must have at most this height. A node is uniquely identified by a string given at creation (by the insert command). The node named root is the root of the tree and is not drawn. The tree structure is directly maintained by the widget.

Hi bong.
I also found a simpler example and demo at

http://www.hwaci.com/sw/tk/tree.tcl

.
I think I can follow this example and implement it for my use.

Thank you for your help.
