I'm not sure what your problem is. Consider this code:

#multicolumn listbox
pack [listbox .lb1 -listvariable lstA] -side top
set l1 {a b c d e}
set l2 {z y x w v}
set lstA [list $l1 $l2]

Is that what you want?

Can the columns will be draggable ?

Any possibility of inserting a checkbox in each list item ?

Can a special color highlighting be applied to any row of item in the list ? Expecially the first row so it takes a different

Can a row selection be binded to an event handler such as a procedure or a tcl/tk script ?

No, no, yes, and yes.

pathName itemconfigure index ?option? ?value? ?option value ...?
Query or modify the configuration options of an item in the listbox. If no option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for the item (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of this list). If option is specified with no value, then the command returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value returned if no option is specified). If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. The following options are currently supported for items:
-background color
Color specifies the background color to use when displaying the item. It may have any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetColor.
-foreground color
Color specifies the foreground color to use when displaying the item. It may have any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetColor.
-selectbackground color
color specifies the background color to use when displaying the item while it is selected. It may have any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetColor.
-selectforeground color
color specifies the foreground color to use when displaying the item while it is selected. It may have any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetColor.

For the binding, you can bind, say, "double-click" or "right-click" to execute some proc and capture the selection as:

pathName curselection
Returns a list containing the numerical indices of all of the elements in the listbox that are currently selected. If there are no elements selected in the listbox then an empty string is returned.
