Hi, one of the drawbacks of some Tk widgets, is that they can get bogged down when you add alot of elements to the widgets. Have you seen the code in a Tree that can fold and unfold.

If you want to delve a bit deeper into a Tk::Canvas based solution, which handles many changing items without problem, see Tk::CanvasDirTree. It is an educational module I wrote to simulate Gtk2's beautiful Treeview widget. The example I give is for just giving a directory tree, but you could easily modify it to display whatever data structure you wanted. It has a little rotating triangle which is clickable to expand and collapse nodes. The Canvas can handle many items simultaneously, if you do the code properly.

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


No such thing as a small change
