dgw::basegui - toplevel widget as starting point for writing Tk applications

A snit type to build up larger Tk applications, provides standard menu, console, autoscroll, balloon help, and other tools to simplify building Tk application. Is a worki in progess (WIP). See the HTML - manual on how to use it and on how to extend your applications on the base of dgw::basegui.

Example

The following simple code inherits from dgw::basegui and adds a scrolled text editor window.

package require dgw::basegui
snit::type EditorApp {
   component basegui
   # inheritance
   delegate method * to basegui
   delegate option * to basegui
   # variable addon to extend basegui
   variable textw
   constructor {args} {
       install basegui using dgw::basegui %AUTO%
       $self configurelist $args    
       # added functionality
       set f [$basegui getFrame]
       set textw [text $f.t -wrap none]
       $self autoscroll $textw
   }
   # added functionality
   # access functionality of the text widget
   # like: 
   #        app text insert end "hello basegui world"
   method text {args} {
       $textw {*}$args
   }
 }
 if {[info exists argv0] && $argv0 eq [info script]} {
    # start the editor
    EditorApp app
    app text insert end "Hello EditorApp!!"
 }
