Well, not a whole lot has been written besides the demos, but have you
studied the examples in the man pages? Also try looking at the widget
demo that comes with tcltk, and make use of the tclhelp interface if
you have it.

I haven't played too much with menus and menubuttons, but listboxes
are fairly straightforward, along the lines of

tt<-tktoplevel()
mb<-tklistbox(tt)
tkpack(mb)
tkinsert(mb, 0, month.name)
tkget(mb,"active")
