Re: How to query entry path for embedded widgets and parent entry

If you want to search for all embedded widgets, I think you're going to
have to iterate through all paths and then use entryCget to find all
entries (or is it items?) that have an itemtype of 'window'.

I wonder how many folks embed widgets in a HList? I played with it for a
while, but was very dissatisfied with the end result. If the HList has
enough items to scroll, the effect usually isn't too good, because the
embedded widgets aren't clipped correctly. This is problem with most of
the core Tk widgets. The only one I know of that handles it well (I
believe) is TableMatrix, but things may have changed since the last time
I looked.
