[ANNOUNCE] Tk-JComboBox 1.0

A few moments ago, I uploaded a new version of JComboBox which should correct most of the "misbehaviors" I've seen reported on the mailing list, c.l.p.tk, or via email over the past year or so.

I've spent more than a little time verifying that the code passes the unit tests on a variey of platforms including Solaris 9, Tru64 4.2, Redhat ES 3, and Windows 2000/XP (using ActiveState 5.8.4/810).

Why you should upgrade:
- pod documentation
- extensive unit tests
- new autofind features and several other fixes
- working key bindings

Why you might be a little careful:
- some options have been deprecated
- a large portion of the code has been rewritten

If you already have your own modifications, back them up prior to upgrading.

As always, I appreciate any feedback. I hope the changes are useful to someone.

Hi,
I've noticed a few small typos, in the example program in
blib/man3/Tk::JComboBox::tutorial.3

my $jcb = $mw->JComboBox(
-choices => [
{ -name => 'Black', -value => 1},
{ -name => 'Blue', -value => 2},
{ -name => 'Green', -value => 3},
{ -name => 'Purple' -value => 4},
'Red',
{ -name => 'Yellow' -value => 5 }]
)->pack;

You forgot the commas after 'Purple' and 'Yellow', which
cause errors when the example program is executed.

Nice useful module BTW. :-)

You're absolutely right -- once you posted, I realized that I'd
forgotten to take a final look at that tutorial AND the changes file.
I'm fixing them now, and will update the module as soon as I'm done.
Thanks for the catch!

It didn't take long - I found a bug that I'll be patching in the next
day or so. When the -state option is set to disabled, the JComboBox
should not accept focus. That is, when using the tab key to traverse
through the widgets it should skip JComboBox, but that doesn't happen.
