Tk - Changing the dimensions for a table.
|
Can't Post

I found some code on line that allows me to create a Tk table in a frame and make it scrollable. The code I am writing can create a number of user definable different tables of various sizes. I basically want the user to be about to select what table they wish to see and have that table appear in the frame/table with the column headers and the first two columns fixed and the rest scrollable.
One option might be to create the table way larger than I need and just blank out the extra rows and columns as I update the table content for each request, but it would be nice if the scroll bars showed the bottom of the table when pulled to the bottom, etc.
How do I write the second and third lines of the pseudo code at the bottom of this example?
When I run the program with the two lines before the pseudo code un-commented, I get the following error:
Tk::Error: Can't modify non-lvalue subroutine call at …tKTable.pl line 53.

use Tk;
use Tk::Table;

my $mw = MainWindow->new;

$mw->Label( -text=>"Select what report to display" )->pack();
$mw->Button( -text=>"show table 1", -command =>[\&displayTable, 1 ])->pack();
$mw->Button( -text=>"show table 2", -command =>[\&displayTable, 2 ])->pack();
