Urm, do you *know* what a Grid widget is Stephen? (hint: Excel) Do you
*know* what a ListCtrl is Stephen? (Hint: File Browser in report or
iconlabel views) Neither of those widgets exists in the Tix package.
And how do i *know* this? Well because unlike you i have actually
written code with Tix widgets, obviously you have not.

The TList only displays iconlabels in a wrapping column format, not in
any "report mode" ala: Windows Explorer("details mode"). The HList
widget is for showing a tree structure and is NOTHING like either a
ListCtrl or a Grid.

Just scanning the docs of a module (that you know jack about) and then
parroting off some baseless arguments are bound to bite you in the
@ss! *egg on face*
