Answer 1

It keeps all in hlist

Official documentation for more informations about hlist sends to tcl/tk documentation and then you can find

pathName item_cget entryPath col option

But it doesn't work as I expected

value = self.cl.hlist.item_cget('CL1.Item1', 0, 'text')

# _tkinter.TclError: unknown option "text"

You have to use "-text" instead of "text"

value = self.cl.hlist.item_cget('CL1.Item1', 0, '-text')
