[Tile-dev] Need help with notebook widget

Hello,

I'm trying to build a project on Tk/Aqua using the tile toolkit. I'm
having some trouble with the notebook widget, and am unsure how to proceed.

I have set up the notebook with two tabs, and both tabs display
correctly, but I'm not able to select any pages *under* the tabs. Here's
my code:

#make notebook
tframe .notebookholder
pack .notebookholder -side top -fill x

tnotebook .notebookholder.nb
pack .notebookholder.nb -side top -fill x

.notebookholder.nb add [tlabel .notebookholder.nb.stuff] -text "The real
deal"
.notebookholder.nb add [tlabel .notebookholder.nb.label1] -text "Not
much going on here..."

.notebookholder.nb.stuff add [tlabel
.notebookholder.nb.stuff.stufflabel] -text "Will this work?"

pack .notebookholder.nb.stuff .notebookholder.nb.label1 -side bottom -fill x

When I run the script, here's the error message I get:

Error in startup script: bad command "add": must be configure, cget,
instate, or state
~    while executing
".notebookholder.nb.stuff add [tlabel
.notebookholder.nb.stuff.stufflabel] -text "Will this work?""

It's the fourth-level widget
here--.notebookholder.nb.stuff.stufflabel--that I want to display when I
~  select the .notebookholder.nb.stuff tab. I've read the documentation
at the tile sourceforge site and I thought "add" was the correct command
to use. But, it's not working.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

By the way--I think the Tile project is terrific. The Aqua theme makes
my script look absolutely native; the pinstripe background, especially,
is what's missing from the core Tk widgets, and the notebook and
progress bar widgets are a very nice touch. Thanks for making this
available.

The notebook doesn't work that way -- the tabs are part
of the notebook widget itself, they aren't subwidgets.

The notebook actually is displaying the subwidgets you've
added in the pane area, but since you haven't packed anything
into the frames or given the labels anything to display,
the pane looks empty.  Try:

    .notebookholder.nb.label1 configure -text "Hello!"

to see.
