Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knew who to change the entry widgets in TkTable to replace them with a custom entry widget like AutoCompletionEntry http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/AutocompleteEntry or ValidatingEntry http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/ValidateEntry.

I would suggest embedding these widgets, and others, instead of trying to replace the default behaviour of a cell entry in tktable. Embedding is easy enough given your tktable python wrapper has the window commands wrapped:

import Tkinter import tktable

table = tktable.Table() table.window_configure("2,3", window=Tkinter.Entry()) table.pack()

table.mainloop()

I'm using Tkinter.Entry here, but you could just as well use this AutoCompleteEntry widget. This "2,3" is the cell index -- third row, fourth column. The wrapper I used there can be found at XXX (forgot the link, it is on http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki but the wiki is inaccessible now) and also in tktable's cvs since about 1-2 month(s) ago (except that the one in cvs doesn't yet have the latest updates).

...

Also if anyone knows how to enhance TkTable to do column sorting or point me to some good links it would be greatly apreciated thanks.

It is a matter of reorganizing the ArrayVar associated to the table since tktable doesn't have a built-in sort yet. Have you tried doing anything like this ?

I've added something here now: http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/SorTable (I wanted to take SortableTable but someone else took it before me)
