Mega-widgets are Tk widgets that can be created entirely in Tcl, yet behave indistinguishably from their native counterparts. Although several different frameworks have been constructed to create and manage mega-widgets, none does a perfect job, as there are aspects of a native widget's behavior that can't be simulated strictly in Tcl. We propose a small set of enhancements to the Tk event binding and focus models that will enable mega-widget frameworks, including those that are currently available, to do a better job supporting the semantics of native widgets. This allows a script that uses a native widget on one platform, to use a mega-widget implementation of the same functionality on a different platform without the need to know whether the widget is native or not.
