Hi,
If I understand correctly, you are looking for a widget that actually
displays a table. The grid widget, as I understand it, is more of a
geometry manager as you have said.
I recently wanted to add a spreadsheet type widget and found some
discussion, from way back in the archives, about how to implement new
widgets in Tk with 'newWidgetClass'. I never got anywhere with it myself
and no-one on the users list seemed able to help but I think if you can
work out how to do this it will be exactly what you're looking for.
Supposedly (in theory anyway and possibly in earlier versions?) you can
extend the Tk module (and QTk?) with any widget available to the
underlying Tk engine.
I haven't been able to find the thread since then, but this is a copy of
the original message:
****************************
In Tcl/Tk version 8.4 a couple of new widgets were added (spinbox,

One cool thing about the Tk library is that it is user-extendable.
For example, here is how to create a new SpinBox class for the new
spinbox widget in tk8.4, and how to use it:
declare
SpinBox = {Tk.newWidgetClass noCommand spinbox}
W={New Tk.toplevel tkInit(title:'Spin This')}
S={New SpinBox tkInit(parent:W 'from':5 'to':11)}
{Tk.send pack(S)}
QTk also has provisions for extensibility but I don't remember off
hand how it's done (Donatien?)
Cheers,

I wish I could be more help but you might have more success than I did.
Regards

Hi,
Thanks you for your fast response
typically it takes longer... it seems that this community are very
active :-)
I think that the grid element is like a layout-element and not like a
Table-Gui-Widget,
or do i misread it?
I will spend this weekend a little time to play around with the grid
element.
Have a nice weekend.
