Hi,

      You can use this technical: insert the labels with formatation
like edit and control the mouse click and the tab key.


A Treeview is really what you will be wanting here, the question is
answered but I just wanted to add; Allocating a widget is effectively
allocating screen realestate - you dont want to go overboard with
how many actual widgets you are allocating for data display
(if you can only see 10 rows of data entry widgets, you should be
able to use a scrollbar just to change the data that those widgets
are displaying/editing, its not effective to allocate 10,000 rows of label,
button, entry etc and just put into a scrolled window, even if this
evil sounds a bit tempting ;-) ). Treeview widgets try to make this
task effective and optimized for displaying/editing dynamic and
potentially huge datasets, in some cases you might want to use
widgets instead and just update the contents - depending on
what visual effect you want to achieve or how huge your dataset
can potentially be.

Cheers,
