DESCRIPTION
The tixScrolledWindow command creates a new window (given
by the pathName argument) and makes it into a ScrolledWin-
dow widget. Additional options, described above, may be
specified on the command line or in the option database to
configure aspects of the ScrolledWindow widget such as its
cursor and relief.
CREATING WIDGETS INSIDE A SCROLLEDWINDOW WIDGET
To create widgets inside a ScrolledWindow widget, one must
create the new widgets relative to the window subwidget
and manage them inside the window subwidget. An error will
be generated if one tries to create widgets as immediate
children of the ScrolledWindow. For example: the
following is correct code, which creates new widgets
inside the window subwidget:
tixScrolledWindow .w; pack .w
set f [.w subwidget window]
button $f.b -text hi -width 40 -height 40
pack $f.b
The following example code is incorrect because it tries
to create immediate children of the ScrolledWindow .w:
tixScrolledWindow .w; pack .w
button .w.b -text hi -width 40 -height 40
pack .w.b
WIDGET COMMANDS
The tixScrolledWindow command creates a new Tcl command
whose name is the same as the path name of the Scrolled-
Window widget's window. This command may be used to
invoke various operations on the widget. It has the fol-
lowing general form:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as
the ScrolledWindow widget's path name. Option and the
args determine the exact behavior of the command. The
following commands are possible for ScrolledWindow wid-
gets:
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration
option given by option. Option may have any of the
values accepted by the tixScrolledWindow 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 path-
Name (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the
format of this list). If option is specified with
no value, then the command returns a list describ-
ing the one named option (this list will be identi-
cal 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 tixScrolledWindow com-
mand.
pathName subwidget name ?args?
When no additional arguments are given, returns the
pathname of the subwidget of the specified name.
When no additional arguments are given, the widget
command of the specified subwidget will be called
with these parameters.
