DESCRIPTION

The iiwwiiddggeettss::::mmaaiinnwwiinnddooww command creates a mainwindow shell which con-

tains a menubar, toolbar, mousebar, childsite, status line, and help line. Each item may be filled and configured to suit individual needs. MMEETTHHOODDSS The iiwwiiddggeettss::::mmaaiinnwwiinnddooww command create a new Tcl command whose name is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following general form: pathName option ?arg arg ...? Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for mainwindow widgets: IINNHHEERRIITTEEDD MMEETTHHOODDSS aaccttiivvaattee cceenntteerr ddeeaaccttiivvaattee

pathName ccggeett option Returns the current value of the configuration option given by

option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the iiwwiidd-

ggeettss::::mmaaiinnwwiinnddooww command. pathName cchhiillddssiittee Returns the pathname of the child site widget. pathName ccoonnffiigguurree ?option? ?value option value ...? Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no

option is specified, returns a list describing all of the avail-

able options for pathName (see TTkkCCoonnffiigguurreeIInnffoo for information on the format of this list). If option is specified with no value, 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 option is specified). If one or

more option-value 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. Option may have any of the values accepted by the iiwwiiddggeettss::::mmaaiinnwwiinnddooww command. pathName mmeennuubbaarr ?args? The mmeennuubbaarr method provides access to the menubar.

ated against the messagedialog which in effect provides access to the entire API of the messagedialog. See the "messagedialog"

manual entry for details on the commands available in the mes-

sagedialog. pathName ttoooollbbaarr ?args? The ttoooollbbaarr method provides access to the toolbar. Invoked with
