I tried Tix 8.1.4.1 However I did not looked closely at errors, and those could be related to my improper configuration while building. I'll try latest Tix (from CVS) soon... > > > Yet, it do not fit into perl/Tk cleanly, because it was > > reworked in perl/Tk. > > Do you know what they changed? If you are only looking to It appears that in Tix '-configspecs' are done at widget class creation time, while in perl/Tk ConfigSpecs is another call, with syntax adjusted slightly, and, more importantly, is invoked every time a widget is created (probably with same parameters) This is why actual creation of class is delayed, and other tricks. But I'll provide concrete details within few days, when I'm done with perl/Tk pure-perl support. > support any general megawidget framework, then I strongly > encourage snit::widget.

My idea is to use in Tcl::Tk same megawidget support as in Tcl/Tk, so seemingly it will be 'snit::widget'. I believe everyone will agree with this approach. Vadim.
