[incr Tcl/Tk] is installed as a package, therefore it needs to be in the $auto_path
[incr Tcl/Tk] is part of Tcl Pro.
Try typing in the Visual Tcl console:
package require foobar
Then:
package names
If itcl, itk and iwidgets are in the list, [incr Tcl/Tk] should show up. If not, there
is
something wrong.
BLT is an extension for drawing charts and graphs (available separately from vTcl).
Tix is a set of megawidgets like [incr Tcl/Tk] megawidgets.
Mclistbox and Combobox are available from the visual tcl page on Sourceforge.

Yes, definitely the cool thing to do. A good idea would be to handle various
datasources, for example mySql, Postgres, ODBC (via OLE Automation), etc. maybe
via a generic mechanism. Then we have a serious competitor to Visual Basic for
RAD !

I saw a web page with a prototype generating tcl/tk forms from a MySql database
but I don't remember the address. Let me search for it again.
