Re: ttk::panedwindow possible enhancements

Hi Ashok,
thank you, great. Yes, I am aware of this.
Nevertheless, I would love to have this solved in general, e.g. always having a sash graphic.
Thanks,
Harald

Harald,
 You mentioned the Wiki. For (1), did you look at the "Create a Custom Sash Handle bar" section at https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/ ttk%3A%3Apanedwindow as well as https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/ Custom+sash+handle+for+panedwindow ?

My main challenges:

1) in vista theme, the Sash is invisible. There is just a 3 pixel width line which changes the cursor, if the mouse hoovers over it.
Users may easily overlook it, specially, if the sash is at position 0 or adjacent to another sash.

2) if there is a resize by sash drop, I want to get a callback to save the sash position for later restoring.

3) if there is a sash drag, I want to control the valid values. For example, always make a part of the window visible (like a tablelist title row).

4) I would love to attach additional functionality to the sash, like right click->menu or double-left-click->zoom.

I suppose, 2-4 may be solved by exposing the widget name of the sash.
For point 1, I hope magic Csaba may look into it.

There are partly solutions on the wiki page, which bind for point 2 and 3 on Button 1 down on the widget. For me, this is more a work- around than a solution.

Thanks for all !
