It is possible, yes. Easy? Maybe not so much.

There are two ways to accomplish your specific task.

First, the ugly, but more integrated way, is to hack at 
gdbtk/library/regwin.it[hb]. The code there is actually fairly recent 
and clean.

The more formal way, but less integrated, is to create a plug-in. To do 
that, follow the directions in gdbtk/library/plugins/HOW-TO. WARNING: I 
haven't looked at these directions in quite some time, they may be 
slightly outdated. But I doubt much has changed since there have been no 
plug-ins written in a very long time. If you find problems with the 
HOW-TO, just send a note to this list so that I can address them.

In lieu of that, or in addition to that, you can follow the either the 
example plug-in (gdbtk/library/plugins/rhabout) and/or the (very simple) 
Pentium plug-in (gdbtk/library/plugins/intel-pentium).

Again, if you run into problems or have any questions, just send a note 
to this list, and I'll try to get your questions answered as best as 
possible.

Yes, you will need to know a bit of Tcl/Tk and iTcl/iTk/iWidgets.

Tcl isn't all that difficult to learn. It has a few quirks, but nothing 
too major. iTcl is simply an OO extension for Tcl. It's also not very 
difficult to pick up.

Once you know basic Tk-isms (packing vs grid, e.g.), iTk and iWidgets 
are pretty simple and quite a bit easier to use. It's simply a matter of 
remembering what kinds of widgets those packages offer. I don't remember 
much nowadays, so I just refer to the manual and demos.

Tcl/Tk documentation, list of books, and tutorials listed on the 
Developer Xchange pages: http://www.tcl.tk/doc

All things iTcl (incl iTk/iWidgets) are at 
http://incrtcl.sourceforge.net/itcl . [This is a bit outdated -- iTcl is 
now more closely integrated as a Tcl module, but this is the page that I 
always run to for documentation.]
