Grashopper, It is not obviously possible, but that doesn't
imply that it is obviously not possible.  :)

IOW, I think you can do that, but it's a bit complicated.

You've got to assign a callback to the button-press event for
that widget.  That callback will be passed an event which
contains the x,y corrdinates of the pointer.  The callback
would then query the widget for it's position and size.  A bit
of math occurs, and the callback does something different
depending on which end of the button was clicked.

I think that all of the info required to do such a thing can be
gleaned from John Grayson's wonderful book _Python_and_Tkinter_
_Programming_

>(2) I have asked this questions already but received no answer.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about Pmw in general and
that widget in particular to offer any suggestions.
