snipped from the above recipe :- """ Discussion: The resulting widget is lightweight, fast, and very easy to use. The main limitation is that only text is supported which is a fundamental limitation of the Listbox. In this implementation, only single-selection is allowed but it could be extended to multiple selection. User-resizeable columns and auto-sorting by clicking on the column label should also be possible. Auto-scrolling while dragging Button-1 was disabled because this was breaks the synchronization between the lists. However, scrolling with Button-2 works fine. """ so you cannot put anything other than text into a standard Tk Listbox however you could try using a non-standard table widget see here for more details :- http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/Widgets Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
