# Tix Demostration Program
#
# This sample program is structured in such a way so that it can be
# executed from the Tix demo program "tixwidgets": it must have a
# procedure called "RunSample". It should also have the "if" statment
# at the end of this file so that it can be run as a standalone
# program using tixwish.

# This file demonstrates the use of the tixScrolledHList widget.
#

    # We create the frame and the ScrolledHList widget
    # at the top of the dialog box
    #

    # Put a simple hierachy into the HList (two levels). Use colors and
    # separator widgets (frames) to make the list look fancy
