Hello,
I also tried, and I failed to get Tix working with VTCL. I asked Stewart,
the developer, for help, and got nothing. When he's less busy, he may
get around to it. Anyway, I would be interested to hear your status
with respect to Tix integration.
Also, I thought you might like to hear why I gave up on VTCL. Mostly it
was one feature that killed me: the Tcl code that VTCL generates
specifies every option on every widget. That is, every widget will have
a `-background xxxx' option specified. This makes it very unweildy to
try to change the defaults universally. It made it basically impossible
for me to integrate VTCL windows with an existing app, which already had
an options-based mechanism to customize colors and fonts.
Regards,
Ken
