NAME
tixScrolledWindow - Create and manipulate Tix ScrolledWindow widgets
SYNOPSIS
tixScrolledWindow pathName ?options? -anchor -background -cursor
-relief -borderWidth
WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
Specifies the desired height for the window, in pixels. Specifies the
display policy of the scrollbars. The following values are recognized:
auto ?+x? ?-x? ?+y? ?-y?
When -scrollbar is set to "auto", the scrollbars are
shown only when needed. Additional modifiers can be used
to force a scrollbar to be shown or hidden. For example,
"auto -y" means the horizontal scrollbar should be shown
when needed but the vertical scrollbar should always be
hidden; "auto +x" means the vertical scrollbar should be
shown when needed but the horizontal scrollbar should
always be shown, and so on.
both Both scrollbars are shown
none The scrollbars are never shown.
x Only the horizontal scrollbar is shown;
y Only the vertical scrollbar is shown.
Specifies the desired width for the window, in pixels. Specifies by
how much the window should be scrolled in the horizontal direction when
the user presses the arrows in the horizontal scrollbar. In Pixels.
Specifies by how much the window should be scrolled in the vertical
direction when the user presses the arrows in the horizontal scrollbar.
In pixels.
SUBWIDGETS
Name: hsb
Class: Scrollbar
The horizontal scrollbar subwidget.
Name: window
Class: Frame
The frame subwidget which is scrolled by the ScrolledWindow
widget.
Name: vsb
Class: Scrollbar
The vertical scrollbar subwidget.
DESCRIPTION
The tixScrolledWindow command creates a new window (given by the
pathName argument) and makes it into a ScrolledWindow 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 ScrolledWindow widget’s window. This
command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has
the following 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 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
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 pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo 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
tixScrolledWindow command.
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.
