NAME
tixMwm - Communicate with the Motif(tm) window manager.
SYNOPSIS
tixMwm option pathName ?args?
COMMAND OPTIONS
tixMwm decoration pathName ?option? ?value? ?...?
When no options are given, this command returns the
values of all the decorations options for the toplevel
window with the pathName.
When only one option is given without specifying the
value, the current value of that option is returned.
When more than one "option value" pairs are passed to
this command, the specified values will be assigned to
the corresponding options. As a result, the appearance
of the Motif decorations around the toplevel window
will be changed.
Possible options are: -border, -menu, -maximize,
-minimize, -resizeh and -title. The value must be a
Boolean value. The values returned by this command are
undefined when the window is not managed by mwm.
tixMwm ismwmrunning pathName
This returns true if mwm is running on the screen where
the specified window is located, false otherwise.
tixMwm protocol pathName
When no additional options are given, this command
returns all protocols associated with this toplevel
window.
tixMwm protocol pathName activate protocol_name
Activate the mwm protocol message in mwm's menu.
tixMwm protocol pathName add protocol_name menu_message
Add a new mwm protocol message for this toplevel
window. The message is identified by the string name
specified in protocol_name. A menu item will be added
into mwm's menu as specified by menu_message. Once a
new mwm protocol message is added to a toplevel, it can
be catched by the TK wm protocol command. Here is an
example:
tixMwm protocol . add MY_PRINT_HELLO \
{"Print Hello" _H Ctrl<Key>H}
wm protocol . MY_PRINT_HELLO {puts Hello}

tixMwm protocol pathName deactivate protocol_name
Deactivate the mwm protocol message in mwm's menu.
tixMwm protocol pathName delete protocol_name
Delete the mwm protocol message from mwm's menu. Please
note that the window manager protocol handler
associated with this protocol (by the wm protocol
command) is not deleted automatically. You have to
delete the protocol handle explicitly. E.g.:
tixMwm protocol . delete MY_PRINT_HELLO
wm protocol . MY_PRINT_HELLO {}
BUGS
On some versions of Mwm, the -border will not disappear
unless -resizeh is turned off. Also, the -title will not
disappear unless all of -title, -menu, -maximize and
-minimize are turned off.
