56 | 16.1.6.8 The index Parameter</A> | |
57 | </H3> | |
58 | <P> | |
59 | A number of widgets require``index'' parameters to be passed. These | |
60 | are used to point at a specific place in a Text widget, or to | |
61 | particular characters in an Entry widget, or to particular menu items | |
62 | in a Menu widget. | |
63 | ||
64 | <P> | |
65 | <DL> | |
66 | <DT><STRONG>Entry widget indexes (index, view index, etc.)</STRONG></DT> | |
67 | <DD>Entry widgets have options that refer to character positions in the | |
68 | text being displayed. You can use these <tt class="module"><a href="module-Tkinter.html">Tkinter</a></tt> functions | |
69 | to access these special points in text widgets: | |
70 | ||
71 | <P> | |
72 | <DL> | |
73 | <DT><STRONG>AtEnd()</STRONG></DT> | |
74 | <DD>refers to the last position in the text | |
75 | ||
76 | <P> | |
77 | </DD> | |
78 | <DT><STRONG>AtInsert()</STRONG></DT> | |
79 | <DD>refers to the point where the text cursor is | |
80 | ||
81 | <P> | |
82 | </DD> | |
83 | <DT><STRONG>AtSelFirst()</STRONG></DT> | |
84 | <DD>indicates the beginning point of the selected text | |
85 | ||
86 | <P> | |
87 | </DD> | |
88 | <DT><STRONG>AtSelLast()</STRONG></DT> | |
89 | <DD>denotes the last point of the selected text and finally | |
90 | ||
91 | <P> | |
92 | </DD> | |
93 | <DT><STRONG>At(x<big>[</big>, y<big>]</big>)</STRONG></DT> | |
94 | <DD>refers to the character at pixel location <var>x</var>, <var>y</var> (with | |
95 | <var>y</var> not used in the case of a text entry widget, which contains a | |
96 | single line of text). | |
97 | </DD> | |
98 | </DL> | |
99 | ||
100 | <P> | |
101 | </DD> | |
102 | <DT><STRONG>Text widget indexes</STRONG></DT> | |
103 | <DD>The index notation for Text widgets is very rich and is best described | |
104 | in the Tk man pages. | |
105 | ||
106 | <P> | |
107 | </DD> | |
108 | <DT><STRONG>Menu indexes (menu.invoke(), menu.entryconfig(), etc.)</STRONG></DT> | |
109 | <DD><P> | |
110 | Some options and methods for menus manipulate specific menu entries. | |
111 | Anytime a menu index is needed for an option or a parameter, you may | |
112 | pass in: | |
113 | ||
114 | <UL> | |
115 | <LI>an integer which refers to the numeric position of the entry in | |
116 | the widget, counted from the top, starting with 0; | |
117 | </LI> | |
118 | <LI>the string <code>'active'</code>, which refers to the menu position that is | |
119 | currently under the cursor; | |
120 | </LI> | |
121 | <LI>the string <code>"last"</code> which refers to the last menu | |
122 | item; | |
123 | </LI> | |
124 | <LI>An integer preceded by <code>@</code>, as in <code>@6</code>, where the integer is | |
125 | interpreted as a y pixel coordinate in the menu's coordinate system; | |
126 | </LI> | |
127 | <LI>the string <code>"none"</code>, which indicates no menu entry at all, most | |
128 | often used with menu.activate() to deactivate all entries, and | |
129 | finally, | |
130 | </LI> | |
131 | <LI>a text string that is pattern matched against the label of the | |
132 | menu entry, as scanned from the top of the menu to the bottom. Note | |
133 | that this index type is considered after all the others, which means | |
134 | that matches for menu items labelled <code>last</code>, <code>active</code>, or | |
135 | <code>none</code> may be interpreted as the above literals, instead. | |
136 | </LI> | |
137 | </UL> | |
