<P>
The handling of the selection and user events for the HList widget
is very similar to the TList widget (see section
3.3.5), except that for the HList widget all the
operations are based on entry-paths, not list indices. The methods
<tt>info selection</tt>, <tt>selection set</tt> and <tt>selection clear</tt>
can be used to query, set or clear the selection; the option <tt>-selectmode</tt> controls how many entries can be selected at a time;
the options <tt>-browsecmd</tt> and <tt>-command</tt> can be used to
specify a command to be called to handle user events.
<P>
There is one more option worth mentioning: the <tt>-wideselection</tt>
option. When set to <tt>true</tt>, the selection highlight will be drawn
across the whole HList widget (see figure 4-3). When set to
false, selection highlight will be drawn as wide as the selected entry
(see figure 4-5). Normally, you would set <tt>-wideselection</tt> to <tt>false</tt> when you use <tt>imagetext</tt> items inside
(as we did in program 4-4).
