This appendix contains program listings that, for one reason or another, did not appear in the book proper. This is mostly because only a small portion of the code was applicable to the chapter in which it appeared. Nonetheless, seeing the program in its entirety is useful, so here's a chapter full of code. Enjoy!

C.1. Tk::CollapsableFrame

Use a CollapsableFrame to hide information until the widget is opened. This widget is used by the MacCopy widget, described next. Both Tk::CollapsableFrame and Tk::MacCopy are more examples of composite mega-widgets, described in Chapter 14, "Creating Custom Widgets in Pure Perl/Tk".

See Figure C-1 for a demonstration of a CollapsableFrame widget.

=item B<close>

Closes the CollapsableFrame.

=item B<open>

Opens the CollapsableFrame.

=item B<toggle>

Toggles the open/close state of the CollapsableFrame.

=back

=head1 ADVERTISED WIDGETS

Component subwidgets can be accessed via the B<Subwidget> method.
Valid subwidget names are listed below.

=head1 EXAMPLE

 use Tk::widgets qw/CollapsableFrame Pane/;

 my $mw = MainWindow->new;

 my $pane = $mw->Scrolled(
      qw/Pane -width 250 -height 50 -scrollbars osow -sticky nw/,
 )->pack;

 my $cf = $pane->CollapsableFrame(-title => 'Frame1 ', -height => 50);
 $cf->pack(qw/-fill x -expand 1/);
 $cf->toggle;

 my $colf = $cf->Subwidget('colf');
 my $but = $colf->Button(-text => 'Close Frame 1!');
 $but->pack;
 $but->bind('<Button-1>' => [sub {$_[1]->close}, $cf]);
