# Tix Demonstration Program
#
# This sample program is structured in such a way so that it can be
# executed from the Tix demo program "tixwidget": 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 how to use multiple columns and multiple styles
# in the tixHList widget
#
# In a tixHList widget, you can have one ore more columns.
