-doublebuffer |
This option no longer has any effect but was left in to
avoid incompatibilities.
Instead, the amount of double-buffering is chosen depending
on
the platform. Modern platforms such as Mac OS X double-buffer
each toplevel whereas older platforms such as Windows XP do not. |
Text Element Options
New |
Comment |
-lmargin1 |
Specifies how much the first line of text should be
indented.
|
-lmargin2 |
Specifies how much the 2nd or greater lines should be
indented when a line of text wraps. |
Mac OS X support for Tk 8.6
Tk 8.6 dropped support for the Carbon API in favor of the modern Cocoa
API on Mac OS X. TkTreeCtrl was updated to build using either Carbon
(Tk 8.4/8.5) or Cocoa (Tk 8.6). If you are using the back-port of the
Cocoa version with Tk 8.5 you can pass the --enable-cocoa=yes
configure option when configuring TkTreeCtrl.
Build Changes
- Updated to TEA version 3.7 which supports
the MODULE_SCOPE
macro. As a result, private symbols are not exported by the
treectrl shared library on platforms that support it (i.e., gcc's __visibility__("hidden")).
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a crash during error processing in [item
create] due to missing return statements for the -count and -height
options.
- Fixed a bug where all item styles would be lost when
deleting the
3rd or greater column. This bug affected any item that never had a
column record allocated for the 3rd or greater column (usually because
no style had been assigned).
- Fixed a crash in the [item span] command when specifying
"all" for the item description.
- The pkgIndex.tcl file correctly handles installation
directories with space or bracket characters.
- Removed C++ style comments and a spurious semicolon for C89
AIX compliance. [BUG 2886595]
- Fixed [item sort -decreasing] not being a "stable" sort.
[BUG ID 2909930]
- Fixed flickering of the dragimage under Windows 7; this requires more doublebuffering than WinXP even with Aero.
- Use more double-buffering on the dragimage to fix flickering/slowness (tested on Ubuntu VM).
- Fixed drawing of column/row proxy lines where XOR isn't supported (i.e. MacOSX Cocoa).
- Fixed the loupe (screen capture) command under Windows 7; tested on Win7 x64 (with and without Aero) and on WinXP x32.
- Fixed an X server error caused by adding a bad rectangle to an
XRegion while processing <Expose> events. This would show
up with -doublebuffer=window while resizing the window. [BUG 3015429]
Demo Changes
- The "Layout" demo uses the new Text element option
-lmargin2.
- Fixed an undefined-variable error when double-clicking between column headers on X11 in the "Random" demo.
- Fixed the resizing of items containing child windows when the
Tile theme changes in the "Big List" demo. Also added some
comments.
- Disabled the dynamic-appearing scrollbars under X11 where I saw some infinite looping.
What's New in TkTreeCtrl 2.2.9
TreeCtrl Command
Arguments/Result
Changed |
What
changed |
see |
OLD: $T see $item
NEW: $T see $item ?$column? ?-center xy?
You can specify a particular column to scroll into view horizontally.
The -center option will center the item/column in the window instead of
performing the minimal amount of scrolling to bring it into view at the
edge of the window.
|
Item Configuration Options
New |
Comment |
-wrap |
When this option is true an item will be the first in a
horizontal (when the treectrl option -orient=horizontal)
or a vertical (when the treectrl option -orient=vertical)
range of items. See the new "iMovie (Wrap)" demo.
|
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a compile error on SunOS due to DUMP_ALLOC being
defined in the system headers.
- Fixed a bug that caused a panic in B_IncrementFind when
calling
the [see] command before the widget had displayed itself for the first
time.
- Fixed a library script error when attempting to drag a
column header when the window was so small the items weren't visible.
- Fixed two cases where the whitespace would not be properly
erased when items being deleted caused scrolling.
- Fixed column headers being drawn overtop of the bottom edge
of window borders if the window was very short.
Demo Changes
- Added the "iMovie (Wrap)" demo to demonstrate the new item
option -wrap.
What's New in TkTreeCtrl 2.2.8
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug that caused a panic in Range_ItemUnderPoint.
Thanks to SF.net user 'nobody' who found the problem.
- Fixed reading an uninitialized variable when calculating
column header layout.
What's New in TkTreeCtrl 2.2.7
TreeCtrl Configuration Options
New |
Comment |
-showrootchildbuttons |
Similar to -showrootlines,
this boolean option controls the display of expand/collapse buttons
next to child items of the root item.
|
Indentation change/fix
Previously with -showroot=0, -showbuttons=0, and -showrootlines=0
there was still an extra level of indentation displayed to the left of
the root's children. The only way to remove all indentation
from the
root's children was to set -showlines=0
as well. This is no longer the case and now behaves
as expected. With the new -showrootchildbuttons
option it is now possible to remove all indentation from the root's
children without affecting the display of buttons/lines on deeper items.
Library Script Changes
treectrl.tcl:
- The <Left> and <Right> key
bindings will collapse and expand the active item if -orient=vertical and
-wrap={}.
Otherwise the previous behavior of setting the active item to
an adjacent item is used.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed corruption/crash with ".t column configure -foo" with
no option value if -foo is an invalid option.
What's New in TkTreeCtrl 2.2.6
Bug Fixes
- Fixed ".t item bbox" returning bogus values when asking for
the
bounds of a column or element in a list with many items (integer
overflow).
- Fixed a segfault on Win64 machines when the system theme
changed.
- Fixed a panic on Win64 when drawing the the marquee and
drag-image dotted rectangles due to a too-small struct.
What's New in TkTreeCtrl 2.2.5
Issues regarding the incompatibility of 8.4 built TkTreeCtrl working in
8.5
were resolved. The Mac OS X API issues noted for 2.2.4 remain (they
relate to difficult to reconcile core drawing changes).
A Windows DLL manifest is now embedded to address native theme drawing
issues.
What's New in TkTreeCtrl 2.2.4
NOTE regarding Tk version compatibility
Under Mac OSX some internal changes to Tk 8.4.15 and Tk 8.4.17 result
in
incompatibilities:
- This version of TkTreeCtrl built for Tk 8.4.15 will work
with Tk 8.4.15 and 8.4.16 only
(under Mac OSX).
- This version of TkTreeCtrl built for Tk 8.4.17 will work
with Tk 8.4.17 only (under Mac OSX).
TreeCtrl Configuration Options

Comment |
-columntagexpr
-itemtagexpr |
These boolean options can be used to turn off tag
expressions in column descriptions and item descriptions.
When the value of these options is false the
characters (', ')', '&', '|', '^'
and '!' have no special significance when using tags in column/item
descriptions. This is useful for applications which may have
arbitrary tags applied to columns or items. |
Bug Fixes
- Fixed partially-exposed transparent photo images not being
redrawn when scrolling under X11.
- Fixed potential crash with Windows theme if the system
theme was changed.
- Fixed ".t
item cget -button" always returning 0 when the value of
this option wasn't auto.
- Fixed a drawing issue under Mac OSX where parts of the
window would not be erased properly under Tk 8.4.15+ and Tk 8.5a7+.
- Fixed crashes under Mac OSX with Tk 8.4.17 and Tk 8.5.0.
- Fixed an old bug caused by a MSVC compiler optimization bug
that
stopped items being redrawn when the only change in appearance was the
expand/collapse button needing to be redrawn.
Misc Changes
- Changed the item
sort code to be a "stable" sort. This means that the
pre-sort order of two equal items is used as a tie-breaker.
Demo Changes
- Added "Increase Font Size" and "Decrease Font Size" menu
commands. Also the Console font is not changed when running
under Tk 8.5.
What's New in TkTreeCtrl 2.2.3
Build Changes
- When building with configure on Windows the
--enable-shellicon option will run configure in the shellicon/
subdirectory.
- 'make dist' will create the source distribution
tktreectrl-VERSION.tar.gz.
- 'make dist-win' will create the Windows binary distribution
tktreectrl-VERSION-win32.zip.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed flickering when redrawing the borders with
"-doublebuffer window" when the widget was resized or parts of it were
exposed.
- Fixed undefined reference to vsnprintf when
building with the MS compiler under Windows; it should be _vsnprintf.
- Fixed a symbol conflict with Python 2.5 on ELF-based
systems which also defines a symbol "Ellipsis".
What's New in TkTreeCtrl 2.2.2
Column Configuration Options
New |
Comment |
-itemjustify |
This option allows item styles to be justified
separately
from the image/text in the column header. If the value of this
option is unspecified (the default), then item styles are justified
according to the -justify
option of the column. |
Item Configuration Options
Usage
Changed |
How
it changed |
-button |
The value of this option can now be the word auto (or any
abbreviation) in which case a button is drawn only when the item has at
least one child item with its item option -visible set to true. |
Style Layout Changes
- The element option -draw
of every element type is now deprecated. Use the new style layout
option -draw
instead.
- The new per-state style layout option -visible
controls the visibility of an element. When the value of this option
evaluates to false for a given state, the element consumes no space in
the layout and is not displayed. If none of the elements surrounded by
an element with -union
layout are visible, then the element with -union layout is not
displayed.
Item Descriptions
- The index argument to the child and sibling modifiers
can now take the form "end?-integer?".
.t item id "root child end-1" ; # get the second-to-last child of the root item
Bug Fixes
- Text elements were requesting some height from the style
layout
when displaying an empty string. If you were depending on this
behaviour, it is suggested that you set the height of the text element
using the -minheight
or -height
style layout options.
- Window elements might not be scrolled along with the rest
of the
list if the area needing to be redrawn due to scrolling was obscurred
by other windows. This could only happen on Win32.
- The ellipsis "..." in text elements is now always displayed
if
the text element has less space than is needed to display its string.
Previously the ellipsis would disappear when there wasn't room for a
single character plus the ellipsis.
- Fixed a layout bug with multi-line text elements when the
unsqueezed element did not require a multi-line layout but the squeezed
element did.
What's New in TkTreeCtrl 2.2.1
Bug Fixes
- Fixed panic with -xscrollincrement=0, -showheader=yes, no
visible items and headers wider than the window.
- Fixed the wrong loop variable being used when calculating
onscreen columns for an item which resulted in a random crash.
- Fixed a crash when invalidating a column of an item if the
column wasn't the first in a span.
- Fixed a leak on X11 where the clipping region was not being
freed after drawing dotted rectangles.
What's New in TkTreeCtrl 2.2
TreeCtrl Configuration Options
Deprecated |
What
to use
instead |
-defaultstyle |
The -itemstyle option of a column. |
TreeCtrl Command
Arguments/Result
Changed |
What
changed |
contentbox |
The return value is an empty string if the
content area is totally obscurred by column headers, borders, and/or
locked columns. Typically this will only happen if the window is too
small. |
selection get |
Accepts 2 optional arguments to allow in-place lindex and lrange queries of
the selection. For example:
.t selection get 0 ; # the first selected item .t selection get end ; # the last selected item .t selection get 1 end-1 ; # every selected item except the first and last
|
New |
Comment |
bbox |
Returns the bounding box of different areas of the
window. For example:
.t bbox
will return the bounds of the window, and:
.t bbox header
will return the bounds of the column headers, and:
.t bbox content
will return the same result as the [contentbox] command, and:
.t bbox left .t bbox right
will return the bounds of the left-locked and right-locked columns. |
Column Configuration Options
Renamed
|
New
name |
-tag |
-tags |
New |
Comment |
-lock |
This option allows columns to stick to the left or
right edge
of the window. Locked columns can scroll vertically but not
horizontally. Valid values for this option are none (the default), left or right. |
-itemstyle |
Specifies the name of a style to set in this column for
newly-created items. This option replaces the treectrl option
-defaultstyle. |
-uniform |
These two options
operate the same as the grid geometry manager options of the same name.
For example:
.t column configure 0 -uniform a .t column configure 1 -uniform a
will give columns 0 and 1 the same requested width, whichever is the
larger of the two columns. And:
.t column configure 0 -uniform a -weight 2 .t column configure 1 -uniform a
will give column 0 twice the maximum of the requested widths of columns
0 and 1. And:
.t column configure 0 -expand yes -weight 2 .t column configure 1 -expand yes
will give column 0 twice the extra space as column 1. |
-weight |
Column Command
Arguments/Result
Changed |
What
changed |
column count |
Takes an optional column-description argument; the
result is
the number of columns that match the column description. For example:
.t column count visible
will return the number of columns whose -visible option is true, and:
.t column count {tag a^b}
will return the number of columns with either tag "a" or "b", but not
both. |
New |
Comment |
column tag add |
Columns can have
a list of tag names. Previously only a single tag was allowed. The tail column no
longer has the word "tail" as a tag, but it is still referred to by the
word "tail" in column descriptions. |
column tag expr |
column tag names |
column tag remove |
Item Configuration Options
New |
Comment |
-tags |
Tags are textual labels applied to items to group them.
Tags
do not affect the appearance or behaviour of items. Tags can be used in
item descriptions to operate on multiple items. More information can be
found in the man page. |
Item Command
Arguments/Result
Changed |
What
changed |
item count |
Takes an optional item-description argument; the result
is the number of items that match the item description. For example:
.t item count visible
will return the number of items that are displayed (i.e., those
whose ancestors are all expanded, -visible options are true, etc), and:
.t item count {tag a^b}
will return the number of items with either tag "a" or "b", but not
both. |
item create |
New option -tags
specifies an initial list of tags for created items. |
item id |
Returns a list of item ids if the item description
matches multiple items. For example:
.t item id all
will return a list of ids for all items, and:
.t item id "$item children"
will return the ids of every child of an item. |
New |
Comment |
item descendants |
Returns the ids of the children, grandchildren, etc of
an item. |
item enabled |
Gets and sets the enabled
state for items. All items are enabled when first created. Disabled
items cannot be selected, and are ignored by the default key-navigation
and mouse bindings. |
item tag add |
Add tags to items. For example:
.t item tag add all {a b c}
will add tags "a", "b" and "c" to every item.
|
item tag expr |
Evaluate a tag expression against items. For example:
.t item tag expr $item a
returns 1 if an item has tag "a". Also:
.t item tag expr $item a||b
returns 1 if an item has tag "a" or "b". |
item tag names |
Return a list of tag names assigned to items. For
example:
.t item tag names $item
returns the tag list for an item, and:
.t item tag names all
returns every tag assigned to any item. |
item tag remove |
Remove tags from items. For example:
.t item tag remove all {b c}
will remove tags "b" and "c" from any items that have them. |
Text Element
The new option -underline
draws an underline under a single character of the displayed text.
Window Element
Window elements can now be properly clipped so they don't draw over the
column header, borders, or outside the bounds of the item
columns they occupy. This is accomplished by making the window you want
to display a child of a borderless frame widget, and setting the new -clip option of the
window element to TRUE. So if your program displays a canvas widget in
a window element, you would change this code:
set canvas [canvas .t.canvas ...]
.t item element configure $item $column myElement -window $canvas
to this:
set frame [frame .t.clip -borderwidth 0]
set canvas [canvas $frame.canvas ...]
.t item element configure $item $column myElement -window $frame -clip yes
The -clip
option tells the window element to manage the geometry of both the -window
widget (i.e,
the frame) and its first child widget (i.e., the canvas). In this case,
the frame widget is kept sized and positioned so that it is never
out-of-bounds. You can see this in the "Big List" and "Firefox Privacy"
demos.
Item Descriptions
New keywords were added to allow multiple items to be specified by an item description:
New modifiers were added to match multiple items:
- The modifier ancestors
operates like the item
ancestors command:
.t item id "$item ancestors"
- The modifier children
operates like the item
children command:
.t item id "$item children"
- The modifier descendants
operates like the item
descendants command:
.t item id "$item descendants"
New qualifiers were added to refine which items are matched:
- The qualifier depth
matches items at a given depth in the heirarchy:
.t item id "all depth 2" ; # find all items that are children of the root's children
.t item id "depth 2" ; # ditto
- The qualifier !visible
matches items that are not displayed:
.t item id "first !visible" ; # find the first item that is not displayed
- The qualifier state
matches items that have certain states set (or not set if '!' is used):
.t item id "first state {selected !open}" ; # find the first item that is selected and collapsed
- The qualifier tag
matches items that meet a tag expression:
.t item id "$item children tag {a && !b}" ; # find children of $item that have tag "a" but not tag "b"
The keyword all
may now be followed by a list of qualifiers. For example:
.t item id "all !visible state myState" ; # find every item that is not displayed with user-defined state "myState"
A list of qualifiers may be used as the first part of an item
description. This gives the same result as "all" followed by
the
qualifiers. For example:
.t item id "!visible state myState" ; # same as the previous example
Column Descriptions
New keywords list
and
range can be used to
match multiple columns.
New qualifiers state,
tag, !tail and !visible can be used
to restrict which columns are specified.
The keyword all
may be followed by a list of qualifiers.
A list of qualifiers may used as the first part of a column
description. This gives the same result as "all" followed by
the
qualifiers.
Multi-item and multi-column commands
Many commands can now operate on multiple items and/or columns by using
the improved item descriptions and column descriptions mentioned above.
For example:
.t column configure "range 1 10" -tags {a b c}
.t column delete "tag a"
.t column id "tag {a || b}"
.t item configure "depth 1" -button yes
.t item count visible
.t item element configure "root children" all elem1 -text "Hello"
.t item id "visible"
.t item image all all image1
.t item style map "tag {a && !b}" "tag c" style2 {style1.elem1 style2.elem2}
.t item style set all all style1
.t item state forcolumn all all state1
.t item state set "tag current" ~mouseover
.t item remove "state selected"
.t item span "range 1 10" "range 10 last" 2
.t item text "root children" all "Hello"
Demo Changes
- New demo "My Computer". Demonstrates disabled items used as
headers.
- New demo "Column Locking". Demonstrates columns that do not
scroll horizontally.
- The "Big List" and "Firefox Privacy" demos were changed to
use the new -clip
option of window elements.
Misc Changes
- The tail column header will not be drawn if the tail
column's -visible
option is false. This can look nicer with some themes.
- The -itembackground
colors for a column are now extended below any items in the simplest
(and most typical) case where the treectrl's -orient option is
vertical and -wrap
option is unspecified. The height of the rows is determined by the -itemheight or -minitemheight
options; if neither of those options is specified, then -itembackground
colors are not drawn below the items.
- If -itembackground
colors are specified for the tail column, then they are drawn.
- Memory usage is improved, especially for text elements.
Bug Fixes
- item create:
Fixed bug where -nextsibling
and -prevsibling
options could specify an orphan item.
- item delete:
Stopped items possibly being double-deleted by nested calls through <Selection>
and <ItemDelete>
binding scripts.
- item expand, item collapse, item toggle: Only
operate on items which exist when the command is called, not any that
might get created by <Expand>
or <Collapse>
binding scripts.
- Fixed a crash and a redisplay problem when a master element
was
configured with a -textvariable and the associated variable changed.
- When a style with window elements spanned more than one
column, the window might be improperly sized during display updates.
- Windows in window elements would not always be unmapped if
columns or items were hidden, or if the span of an item-column changed.
- The disclosure triangles (i.e., the item buttons) are drawn
without a white background under OSX.
What's New in TkTreeCtrl 2.1.1
Column Command
Arguments/Result
Changed |
What
changed |
column delete
|
Added an optional second argument allowing a range of
columns to be deleted. |
Bug Fixes
- The item sort
command
will be much faster in many cases. There was a silly error in the
pivot-finding code of quicksort which resulted in the slow-down.
- A column header will be redisplayed if an image in
the header is altered.
- Fixed bus errors on some Unix systems due to alignment
problems.
Other Changes
- The Tk caret is now positioned over the active item when it
changes. The Tk caret is used for the Magnifier accessibility
application and IME on Windows, as well as XIM under Unix.
- Improved the appearance of the column headers under OSX.
- Added <MouseWheel> support to OSX.
- Changing the -visible option of an item could be slow if
any
items were selected. That is because non-visible items may not be part
of the selection. A change was made so that changes to the selection
caused by modifying the -visible option of an item do not occur until
the next display update.
Demo Changes
- New demo "Column Spanning". Demonstrates a 100-column list
where styles span from 1 to 20 columns each.
- The loupe
command (which performs screen capture to an image) is now implemented
on Windows and OSX thanks to Jeff Hobbs.
- The screen-magnifier image now resizes with the "loupe"
window.

Style Layout Changes
- Column justification will now affect the position of
elements in 2 situations which previously had no effect (Potential incompatibility):
- If a -detach element had a fixed width larger than the
other elements.
- If an element had -iexpand x specified as well as
-maxwidth, leaving some space available.
Element Changes
- Bitmap, image and text elements are drawn clipped if given
less space than they need.
- Fixed line wrapping of text elements. It did not work for
single lines of text at all (Potential
incompatibility).
- The text -wrap option can now be none to disable line
wrapping.
Event Changes
- The new static event <ItemVisibility>
is generated when items become visible on screen and when items are no
longer visible on screen.
This event allows you to create really big lists by only assigning
styles when items are about to be displayed. See the EVENTS AND SCRIPT
SUBSTITUTIONS section in the help
file, and the new demo "Big List".
Other Changes
- On WinXP, the column header sort arrow is drawn like
Explorer draws it if -usetheme
is true.
Demo Changes
- New demo "Big List". Demonstrates the new <ItemVisibility>
event, using <Expand-before> to add items on demand, and
column spanning.
- The context menu has a Span
submenu that lets you manipulate column spanning in items. See
the item span
command in the help file.
- Under WinXP, the "Explorer" demos will use the new shellicon
extension if available. This extension allows a treectrl to display
file/folder icons using the Win32 Shell API. It may work on other
versions of Windows but it hasn't been tested.

Style Layout Options
Usage
Changed |
How
it changed |
-iexpand |
Two new flags "x' and "y" are allowed. Previously, only
the
-ipadx and -ipady padding could be expanded by this option. The new xy
flags expand the display area of the element, not the padding. To
update your code, you will probably want to change this:
$T style layout $S $E -iexpand we
to this:
$T style layout $S $E -iexpand x
Keep in mind that -union elements are not affected by -iexpand xy,
since the size of a -union element is determined by the elements it
surrounds. |

Element Changes
- A new element type window
was added.
See the new demo "Firefox Privacy" and the ELEMENTS section in the help
file.
- All element types have a new
per-state boolean option called -draw.
- The text
element type
has a new option called -textvariable.
See the new demo
"Textvariable" and the ELEMENTS section in the help file.
Event Changes
- 2 new %-substitution characters %P
and %? are
allowed in binding
scripts. See the EVENTS AND SCRIPT SUBSTITUTIONS section in the help
file.
- The new static event <ItemDelete>
is generated when items are deleted. See the EVENTS AND SCRIPT
SUBSTITUTIONS section in the help file.
Library Script Changes
filelist-bindings.tcl:
- The Priv(edit) variable, which is used to specify which
text
elements may be edited, now has the same format as Priv(sensitive).
Previously only elements in the first column could be edited.
- 3 new commands in the TreeCtrl namespace should be used to
access
the Priv(dragimage), Priv(edit) and Priv(sensitive) variables. The
commands are SetDragImage, SetEditable and SetSensitive.
- Two new dynamic events <Edit-begin>
and <Edit-end>
are
generated when editing a file name.
treectrl.tcl:
- On OSX/Aqua, the Command key is used to perform
discontinuous
selection. Previously the Control key was used but Command is specified
by Apple's user-interface guidelines.
Other Changes
- On WinXP, the column headers and open/close buttons are
drawn
using the system theme if -usetheme
is true. The sort arrow is drawn the old-fashioned way.
- On OSX/Aqua, the column headers and open/close
buttons are
drawn
using the system theme if -usetheme
is true. The sort arrow will be drawn by the Appearance Manager as
well. This will override the -arrowside
and -arrowgravity
options.
- Columns can be moved by drag-and-drop. See column dragconfigure
in the help
file.
- Columns can be specified in new ways. See the COLUMN
DESCRIPTION
section in the help file.
- Added new section DYNAMIC EVENTS to the help file.
- Added new section PER-STATE OPTIONS to the help file.
- The new style layout option -indent
allows elements to be displayed in the button/line area. See the style layout command
in the help
file and the new demo "Firefox Privacy".
- The new item description end
is equivalent to last.
- If you
have version 1.1
installed, replace the old pkgIndex.tcl file with the one from this
version (but replace the version number 2.0 with 1.1). Otherwise the old pkgIndex.tcl
file will
set the TREECTRL_LIBRARY variable which will override where the library
scripts are found.
Demo Changes
- New demo "Firefox Privacy". Demonstrates the new window element type
and -indent
style layout option.
- New demo "Textvariable". Demonstrates the new -textvariable option
of the text
element.
- Added a new Event Browser window to display events
generated by
the main treectrl widget.
- The context menu can be popped up in all the demo lists. A
<Control-ButtonPress-1> binding for this was added under
OSX/Aqua.
- In the "Explorer" demos, the file name is hidden while
editing
the file name.
