wm(n) Tix (4.0) wm(n)
_________________________________________________________________
NAME
Wm - Tix's addition to the standard TK wm command.
SYNOPSIS
wm capture pathName
wm release pathName
DESCRIPTION
The wm capture and the wm release commands change the
toplevel attribute of Tk widgets.
COMMAND OPTIONS
wm capture pathName
Converts the toplevel window specified by pathName into
a non-toplevel widget. Normally this command is called
to convert a toplevel widget into a frame widget. The
newly-converted frame widget is un-mapped from the
screen. To make it appear inside its parent, you must
call a geometry manager (e.g. pack) explictly.
wm release pathName
Makes the non-toplevel window specified by pathName
into a toplevel widget. Normally this command is called
to convert a frame widget into a toplevel widget, but
it can also be used on any non-toplevel widget (e.g,
button). The newly-converted toplevel window is
automatically mapped to the screen. To prevent it from
appearing in the screen, you must call wm withdraw
immediately after calling wm release.
