Tk::ListBrowser began as an inspiration on Tk::IconList. Nice, column oriented arrangement, but how about row oriented arrangement. And while we are at it, also list bar hlist and tree oriented arrangement. Scrollbars work automatically. Efforts have been made to follow the conventions of the Tk hierarchical list family as close as possible.

Screenshots here.

This module features:

Available arrange modes are 'bar', 'column', 'hlist', 'list' and 'tree'. You can switch between arrange modes through the -arrange option while retaining data.

The 'hlist' and 'tree' modes provide a hierarchical list interface. For it to work properly the I<-separator> option must be set to a non empty string of one character.

This module allows sorting your list on all kinds of paramenters, like sorting on column, ascending or descending. Furthemore you can choose sort fields like '-data', '-name', or '-text'.

Headers are shown in the 'hlist', 'list' and 'tree' modes. You can create and configure them in any mode. They are resizable and can be made sortable. You can drag headers left or right with your mouse to change the column ordering.

Side columns are shown in the 'hlist', 'list' and tree modes. You can create and configure them in any mode.

The keyboard shortcut CTFL+F opens a filter entry at the bottom of the widget. Filtering is case insensitive. The filter will start updating when -filterdelay milliseconds have past after your last keystroke. You can choose which data to filter with the -filterfield option. Filtering can be done on the main list as well as on the side columns.

Following Perl modules must be installed:

* Math::Round
* Test::Tk
* Tk

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

For visual inspection before install you can do any of:

perl -Mblib t/1-Tk-ListBrowser.t show
perl -Mblib t/2-Tk-ListBrowser-columns-headers.t show
perl -Mblib t/3-Tk-ListBrowser-hlist-tree.t show

These also provide a nice demo program.
