.SH "WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS"
|
||||
.OP \-background background Background
|
||||
This option is the same as the standard \fB\-background\fR option
|
||||
except that its value may also be specified as an empty string.
|
||||
In this case, the widget will display no background or border, and
|
||||
no colors will be consumed from its colormap for its background
|
||||
and border.
|
||||
.OP \-class class Class
|
||||
Specifies a class for the window.
|
||||
This class will be used when querying the option database for
|
||||
the window's other options, and it will also be used later for
|
||||
other purposes such as bindings.
|
||||
The \fB\-class\fR option may not be changed with the \fBconfigure\fR
|
||||
widget command.
|
||||
.OP \-colormap colormap Colormap
|
||||
Specifies a colormap to use for the window.
|
||||
The value may be either \fBnew\fR, in which case a new colormap is
|
||||
created for the window and its children, or the name of another
|
||||
window (which must be on the same screen and have the same visual
|
||||
as \fIpathName\fR), in which case the new window will use the colormap
|
||||
from the specified window.
|
||||
If the \fB\-colormap\fR option is not specified, the new window
|
||||
uses the default colormap of its screen.
|
||||
This option may not be changed with the \fBconfigure\fR
|
||||
widget command.
|
||||
.OP \-container container Container
|
||||
The value must be a boolean. If true, it means that this window will
|
||||
be used as a container in which some other application will be embedded
|
||||
(for example, a Tk toplevel can be embedded using the \fB\-use\fR option).
|
||||
The window will support the appropriate window manager protocols for
|
||||
things like geometry requests. The window should not have any
|
||||
children of its own in this application.
|
||||
This option may not be changed with the \fBconfigure\fR
|
||||
widget command.
|
||||
.OP \-height height Height
|
||||
Specifies the desired height for the window in any of the forms
|
||||
acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR.
|
||||
If this option is less than or equal to zero then the window will
|
||||
not request any size at all.
|
||||
.OP \-menu menu Menu
|
||||
Specifies a menu widget to be used as a menubar. On the Macintosh, the
|
||||
menubar will be displayed across the top of the main monitor. On
|
||||
Microsoft Windows and all UNIX platforms, the menu will appear across
|
||||
the toplevel window as part of the window dressing maintained by the
|
||||
window manager.
|
||||
.OP \-screen "" ""
|
||||
Specifies the screen on which to place the new window.
|
||||
Any valid screen name may be used, even one associated with a
|
||||
different display.
|
||||
Defaults to the same screen as its parent.
|
||||
This option is special in that it may not be specified via the option
|
||||
database, and it may not be modified with the \fBconfigure\fR
|
||||
widget command.
|
||||
.OP \-use use Use
|
||||
This option is used for embedding. If the value is not an empty string,
|
||||
it must be the window identifier of a container window, specified as
|
||||
a hexadecimal string like the ones returned by the \fBwinfo id\fR
|
||||
command. The toplevel widget will be created as a child of the given
|
||||
container instead of the root window for the screen. If the container
|
||||
window is in a Tk application, it must be a frame or toplevel widget for
|
||||
which the \fB\-container\fR option was specified.
|
||||
This option may not be changed with the \fBconfigure\fR
|
||||
widget command.
|
||||
.OP \-visual visual Visual
|
||||
Specifies visual information for the new window in any of the
|
||||
forms accepted by \fBTk_GetVisual\fR.
|
||||
If this option is not specified, the new window will use the default
|
||||
visual for its screen.
|
||||
The \fB\-visual\fR option may not be modified with the \fBconfigure\fR
|
||||
widget command.
|
||||
.OP \-width width Width
|
||||
Specifies the desired width for the window in any of the forms
|
||||
acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR.
|
||||
If this option is less than or equal to zero then the window will
|
||||
not request any size at all.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The \fBtoplevel\fR command creates a new toplevel widget (given
|
||||
by the \fIpathName\fR argument). Additional
|
||||
options, described above, may be specified on the command line
|
||||
or in the option database
|
||||
to configure aspects of the toplevel such as its background color
|
||||
and relief. The \fBtoplevel\fR command returns the
|
||||
path name of the new window.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
A toplevel is similar to a frame except that it is created as a
|
||||
top-level window: its X parent is the root window of a screen
|
||||
rather than the logical parent from its path name. The primary
|
||||
purpose of a toplevel is to serve as a container for dialog boxes
|
||||
and other collections of widgets. The only visible features
|
||||
of a toplevel are its background color and an optional 3-D border
|
||||
to make the toplevel appear raised or sunken.
|
||||
.SH "WIDGET COMMAND"
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The \fBtoplevel\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose
|
||||
name is the same as the path name of the toplevel's window. This
|
||||
command may be used to invoke various
|
||||
operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
|
||||
.CS
|
||||
\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
|
||||
.CE
|
||||
\fIPathName\fR is the name of the command, which is the same as
|
||||
the toplevel widget's path name. \fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs
|
||||
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following
|
||||
commands are possible for toplevel widgets:
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fIpathName \fBcget \fIoption\fR
|
||||
Returns the current value of the configuration option given
|
||||
by \fIoption\fR.
|
||||
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBtoplevel\fR
|
||||
command.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fIpathName \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR?
|
||||
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.
|
||||
If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of
|
||||
the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for
|
||||
information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified
|
||||
with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the
|
||||
one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding
|
||||
sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified). If
|
||||
one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified, then the command
|
||||
modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in
|
||||
this case the command returns an empty string.
|
||||
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBtoplevel\fR
|
||||
command.
|
||||
.SH BINDINGS
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
When a new toplevel is created, it has no default event bindings:
|
||||
toplevels are not intended to be interactive.
