One of the widgets it includes is a tree widget, which can be configured to display multiple columns of informational data without displaying the tree itself. This is a simple way to build a listbox that has multiple columns. Clicking on the heading for a column will sort the data by that column. You can also change the width of the columns by dragging the boundary between them."
