MegaWidgets are combination widgets (usually in their own frames). The Tix extension to Tcl provides a number of such widgets, such as file selection boxes and standard widgets with scroll bars. In this module, we teach you how to build Tix megawidgets into your GUI and how to set and handle the events they generate.
