WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

Command-Line Name:-direction

Database Name: direction Database Class: Height Specifies where the menu is going to be popup up. above

tries to pop the menu above the menubutton. below tries

to pop the menu below the menubutton. left tries to pop

the menu to the left of the menubutton. right tries to

pop the menu to the right of the menu button. flush

pops the menu directly over the menubutton. In the

case of above or below, the direction will be reversed if the menu would show offscreen.

Command-Line Name:-height

Database Name: height Database Class: Height

Specifies a desired height for the menubutton. If an

image or bitmap is being displayed in the menubutton

then the value is in screen units (i.e. any of the

forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels); for text it is in

lines of text. If this option isn't specified, the

menubutton's desired height is computed from the size

of the image or bitmap or text being displayed in it.

Command-Line Name:-indicatoron

Database Name: indicatorOn Database Class: IndicatorOn The value must be a proper boolean value. If it is Tk Last change: 4.0 1

Tk Built-In Commands menubutton(1T)

true then a small indicator rectangle will be displayed

on the right side of the menubutton and the default

menu bindings will treat this as an option menubutton.

If false then no indicator will be displayed.

Command-Line Name:-menu

Database Name: menu Database Class: MenuName Specifies the path name of the menu associated with

this menubutton. The menu must be a child of the menu-

button.

Command-Line Name:-state

Database Name: state Database Class: State

Specifies one of three states for the menubutton: nor-

mal, active, or disabled. In normal state the menubut-

ton is displayed using the foreground and background options. The active state is typically used when the

pointer is over the menubutton. In active state the

menubutton is displayed using the activeForeground and

activeBackground options. Disabled state means that

the menubutton should be insensitive: the default

bindings will refuse to activate the widget and will

ignore mouse button presses. In this state the disa-

bledForeground and background options determine how the button is displayed.

Command-Line Name:-width

Database Name: width Database Class: Width

Specifies a desired width for the menubutton. If an

image or bitmap is being displayed in the menubutton

then the value is in screen units (i.e. any of the

forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels); for text it is in

characters. If this option isn't specified, the

menubutton's desired width is computed from the size of

the image or bitmap or text being displayed in it.

INTRODUCTION

The menubutton command creates a new window (given by the

pathName argument) and makes it into a menubutton widget.

Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command line or in the option database to configure aspects

of the menubutton such as its colors, font, text, and ini-

tial relief. The menubutton command returns its pathName

argument. At the time this command is invoked, there must Tk Last change: 4.0 2

Tk Built-In Commands menubutton(1T)

not exist a window named pathName, but pathName's parent must exist.

A menubutton is a widget that displays a textual string,

bitmap, or image and is associated with a menu widget. If text is displayed, it must all be in a single font, but it

can occupy multiple lines on the screen (if it contains new-

lines or if wrapping occurs because of the wrapLength

option) and one of the characters may optionally be under-

lined using the underline option. In normal usage, pressing

mouse button 1 over the menubutton causes the associated

menu to be posted just underneath the menubutton. If the

mouse is moved over the menu before releasing the mouse but-

ton, the button release causes the underlying menu entry to be invoked. When the button is released, the menu is unposted. Menubuttons are typically organized into groups called menu bars that allow scanning: if the mouse button is pressed

over one menubutton (causing it to post its menu) and the

mouse is moved over another menubutton in the same menu bar

without releasing the mouse button, then the menu of the

first menubutton is unposted and the menu of the new menu-

button is posted instead.

There are several interactions between menubuttons and

menus; see the menu manual entry for information on various menu configurations, such as pulldown menus and option menus. WIDGET COMMAND

The menubutton command creates 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 com-

mand. The following commands are possible for menubutton

widgets: pathName cget option Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values

accepted by the menubutton command.

pathName configure ?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 available options for pathName

(see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of

this list). If option is specified with no value, then Tk Last change: 4.0 3

Tk Built-In Commands menubutton(1T)

the command returns a list describing the one named

option (this list will be identical to the correspond-

ing 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 menubutton command.

DEFAULT BINDINGS

Tk automatically creates class bindings for menubuttons that

give them the following default behavior:

[1] A menubutton activates whenever the mouse passes over

it and deactivates whenever the mouse leaves it.

[2] Pressing mouse button 1 over a menubutton posts the

menubutton: its relief changes to raised and its asso-

ciated menu is posted under the menubutton. If the

mouse is dragged down into the menu with the button still down, and if the mouse button is then released

over an entry in the menu, the menubutton is unposted

and the menu entry is invoked.

[3] If button 1 is pressed over a menubutton and then

released over that menubutton, the menubutton stays

posted: you can still move the mouse over the menu and click button 1 on an entry to invoke it. Once a menu

entry has been invoked, the menubutton unposts itself.

[4] If button 1 is pressed over a menubutton and then

dragged over some other menubutton, the original menu-

button unposts itself and the new menubutton posts.

[5] If button 1 is pressed over a menubutton and released

outside any menubutton or menu, the menubutton unposts

without invoking any menu entry.

[6] When a menubutton is posted, its associated menu claims

the input focus to allow keyboard traversal of the menu and its submenus. See the menu manual entry for details on these bindings.

[7] If the underline option has been specified for a menu-

button then keyboard traversal may be used to post the

menubutton: Alt+x, where x is the underlined character

(or its lower-case or upper-case equivalent), may be

typed in any window under the menubutton's toplevel to

post the menubutton.

[8] The F10 key may be typed in any window to post the Tk Last change: 4.0 4

Tk Built-In Commands menubutton(1T)

first menubutton under its toplevel window that isn't

disabled.

[9] If a menubutton has the input focus, the space and

return keys post the menubutton.

If the menubutton's state is disabled then none of the above

actions occur: the menubutton is completely non-responsive.

The behavior of menubuttons can be changed by defining new

bindings for individual widgets or by redefining the class bindings. KEYWORDS
