I've got a simple GUI in TCL with treeview, idea is to read some folders and populate the treeview based on the contents of the folder.
I can create the structure for the treeview but I'm not sure how to get selected values when selected with mouse (single or multi-select).
Preference would be to have checkbox but reading up on the forum has made it clear that it is not possible with tree view.
I wonder if there any alternatives to checkbox?
Could I request some direction or advice on following:
- get all items selected below "Some Label", see Image attached.
- Or individually selected items e.g. A, B, XX, YY (see Image attached.)
- I found it impossible adding Y scroll bar, could someone advice.

below is a snippet of the code.
set list0 {A B C D E F}
set list1 {XX YY}
ttk::treeview $tw.tv.tree -height 25 -columns "#0" -displaycolumns "#0" -selectmode extended
$tw.tv.tree heading #0 -text "Name" -anchor center
$tw.tv.tree column #0 -anchor e -minwidth 200 -width 300 -stretch 1
pack $tw.tv.tree
$tw.tv.tree insert {} end -id Title1 -text "Some Label "
foreach key0 [lsort $list0] {
puts "Key0: $key0"
$tw.tv.tree insert Title1 end -text $key0 -tags clickable
}
$tw.tv.tree insert {} end -id Title2 -text "Some Other Label"
foreach key1 [lsort $list1] {
puts "Key1: $key1"
$tw.tv.tree insert Title2 end -text $key1 -tags clickable
}
grid columnconfigure $tw.tv 2 -weight 1
grid rowconfigure $tw.tv 2 -weight 1
For selection I used one of the examples posted on a thread on this forum
set selection [$tw.tv.tree selection]
set text [$tw.tv.tree item $selection -text]
puts "$text"
Unfortunately this returns an empty string.
ps: the code shown is only for treeview which is one part of the GUI, shown only to identify rookie error.
Thanks in advance,
George
