This is an upstream bug in Tk which appears to still be present in their development version. There's supposed to be a "-state" property of treeview columns, but the "-" is missing. Python always removes the first character in its configure-type interfaces, so you get "tate"
Compare the definition of "-text" to "state" at lines 296 and 308: http://tktoolkit.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tktoolkit/tk/generic/ttk/ttkTreeview.c?revision=1.41&view=markup#l295 $ wish8.5 % ttk::treeview .t -columns A .t % .t heading 0 -text {} -image {} -anchor center -command {} state {} % .t heading 0 -state {} unknown option "-state" % .t heading 0 state {} % I did not immediately find a bug about this in the tktoolkit bug tracker. Please consider filing one if you hope for it to be fixed. http://sourceforge.net/search/?group_id=12997&type_of_search=artifact&group_artifact_id=112997&limit=25&q=treeview Jeff _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list Tkinter-discuss@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
