Hello, I am student in last year of computer engineering at university of
Liege.
I work on my final thesis with tkined in order to achieve the monitoring of the
network of the institute.

My problem is that,in the editor, when you want to expand a big network,
it appears in the same editor window, with all the remaining stuff.
This doesn't look clean at all.

I would like to be able to click on the icon of a network and to make it appear
in another window.

I tried to do so by modifying the files Tool.tcl and Objects.tcl in every
possible way and then to recompile tkined. Unfortunately, this doesn't work as
I expect : it's easy to make a new new window appear on a mouse click, but
you can't expand your network on it .
For example, in the procedure Group::expand and Group:: resize ( Objects.tcl)
, the variable memberitems is empty.

I 've been working on this problem for nearly two weeks now, and I'd like to
say :

HEEEELP.....

If anybody can help me, don't hesitate.

PS. another little thing : in the procedure Group::resize, for example,
you find the command

[$id items]
-----
There are many other little functions like that in the tkined sources, and
I don't know where they come from...
