NAME

6       Tk::DirTree - Create and manipulate DirTree widgets
7

SYNOPSIS

9           use Tk::DirTree;
10
11           $dirtree = $parent->DirTree(?options?);
12

SUPER-CLASS

14       The DirTree class is derived from the Tree class and inherits all the
15       methods, options and subwidgets of its super-class.
16

STANDARD OPTIONS

18       Tree supports all the standard options of a Tree widget.  See
19       Tk::options for details on the standard options.
20

WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

22       Name:          browseCmd
23       Class:         BrowseCmd
24       Switch:        -browsecmd
25           Specifies a callback to call whenever the user browses on a
26           directory (usually by single-clicking on the name of the
27           directory). The callback is called with one argument, the complete
28           pathname of the directory.
29
30       Name:          command
31       Class:         Command
32       Switch:        -command
33           Specifies the callback to be called when the user activates on a
34           directory (usually by double-clicking on the name of the
35           directory). The callback is called with one argument, the complete
36           pathname of the directory.
37
38       Name:          dircmd
39       Class:         DirCmd
40       Switch:        -dircmd
41           Specifies the callback to be called when a directory listing is
42           needed for a particular directory. If this option is not specified,
43           by default the DirTree widget will attempt to read the directory as
44           a Unix directory. On special occasions, the application programmer
45           may want to supply a special method for reading directories: for
46           example, when he needs to list remote directories. In this case,
47           the -dircmd option can be used. The specified callback accepts two
48           arguments: the first is the name of the directory to be listed; the
49           second is a Boolean value indicating whether hidden sub-directories
50           should be listed. This callback returns a list of names of the sub-
51           directories of this directory. For example:
52
53               sub read_dir {
54                   my( $dir, $showhidden ) = @_;
55                   return( qw/DOS NORTON WINDOWS/ ) if $dir eq "C:\\";
56                   return();
57               }
58
59       Name:          showHidden
60       Class:         ShowHidden
61       Switch:        -showhidden
62           Specifies whether hidden directories should be shown. By default, a
63           directory name starting with a period "." is considered as a hidden
64           directory. This rule can be overridden by supplying an alternative
65           -dircmd option.
66
67       Name:          directory
68       Class:         Directory
69       Switch:        -directory
70       Alias:         -value
71           Specifies the name of the current directory to be displayed in the
72           DirTree widget.
73

DESCRIPTION

75       The DirTree constructor method creates a new window (given by the
76       $dirtree argument) and makes it into a DirTree widget.  Additional
77       options, described above, may be specified on the command line or in
78       the option database to configure aspects of the DirTree such as its
79       cursor and relief.  The DirTree widget displays a list view of a
80       directory, its previous directories and its sub-directories. The user
81       can choose one of the directories displayed in the list or change to
82       another directory.
83

WIDGET METHODS

85       The DirTree method creates a widget object.  This object supports the
86       configure and cget methods described in Tk::options which can be used
87       to enquire and modify the options described above.  The widget also
88       inherits all the methods provided by the generic Tk::Widget class.
89
90       The following additional methods are available for DirTree widgets:
91
92       $dirtree->chdir(dir)
93           Change the current directory to dir.
94

OTHER METHODS

96       These methods have to be documented or made private:
97
98       OpenCmd
99       Populate
100       add_to_tree
101       dirnames
102       fullpath
103       has_subdir
104       opencmd
105       set_dir
106

BINDINGS

108       The mouse and keyboard bindings of the DirTree widget are the same as
109       the bindings of the Tree widget.

KEYWORDS
