• ANNOUNCE: Widget callback package Wcb 4.2

    From nemethi@csaba.nemethi@t-online.de to comp.lang.tcl on Tue Jun 10 16:17:47 2025
    From Newsgroup: comp.lang.tcl

    I am pleased to announce version 4.2 of the widget callback package Wcb.

    What is new in Wcb 4.2?
    -----------------------

    1. Improved the documentation, mainly by extending the CSS stylesheet
    used in the HTML files.

    How to get it?
    --------------

    Wcb is available for free download from the Web page

    https://www.nemethi.de

    The distribution file is "wcb4.2.tar.gz" for UNIX and "wcb4_2.zip" for
    Windows. These files contain the same information, except for the
    additional carriage return character preceding the linefeed at the end
    of each line in the text files for Windows.

    Wcb is also included in tklib, which has the address

    https://core.tcl.tk/tklib

    How to install it?
    ------------------

    Install the package as a subdirectory of one of the directories given
    by the "auto_path" variable. For example, you can install it as a
    subdirectory of the "lib" directory within your Tcl/Tk installation.

    To install Wcb on UNIX, "cd" to the desired directory and unpack the distribution file "wcb4.2.tar.gz":

    gunzip -c wcb4.2.tar.gz | tar -xf -

    On most UNIX systems this can be replaced with

    tar -zxf wcb4.2.tar.gz

    Both commands will create a directory named "wcb4.2", with the
    subdirectories "demos", "doc", and "scripts".

    On Windows, use WinZip or some other program capable of unpacking the distribution file "wcb4_2.zip" into the directory "wcb4.2", with the subdirectories "demos", "doc", and "scripts".

    How to use it?
    --------------

    To be able to use the commands and variables implemented in the package
    Wcb, your scripts must contain one of the lines

    package require wcb ?version?
    package require Wcb ?version?

    Since the package Wcb is implemented in its own namespace called "wcb",
    you must either import the procedures you need, or use qualified names
    like "wcb::callback".

    For a detailed description of the commands and variables provided by
    Wcb and of the examples contained in the "demos" directory, see the
    tutorial "wcb.html" and the reference page "wcbRef.html", both located
    in the "doc" directory.
