| 11 | '\" manual entries. |
| 12 | '\" |
| 13 | '\" .AP type name in/out ?indent? |
| 14 | '\" Start paragraph describing an argument to a library procedure. |
| 15 | '\" type is type of argument (int, etc.), in/out is either "in", "out", |
| 16 | '\" or "in/out" to describe whether procedure reads or modifies arg, |
| 17 | '\" and indent is equivalent to second arg of .IP (shouldn't ever be |
| 18 | '\" needed; use .AS below instead) |
| 19 | '\" |
| 20 | '\" .AS ?type? ?name? |
| 21 | '\" Give maximum sizes of arguments for setting tab stops. Type and |
| 22 | '\" name are examples of largest possible arguments that will be passed |
| 23 | '\" to .AP later. If args are omitted, default tab stops are used. |

| 39 | '\" Begin vertical sidebar, for use in marking newly-changed parts |
| 40 | '\" of man pages. The first argument is ignored and used for recording |
| 41 | '\" the version when the .VS was added, so that the sidebars can be |
| 42 | '\" found and removed when they reach a certain age. If another argument |
| 43 | '\" is present, then a line break is forced before starting the sidebar. |

| 258 | .SH "WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS" |
| 259 | .OP \-background background Background |
| 260 | This option is the same as the standard \fBbackground\fR option |
| 261 | except that its value may also be specified as an empty string. |
| 262 | In this case, the widget will display no background or border, and |
| 263 | no colors will be consumed from its colormap for its background |
| 264 | and border. |
| 265 | .OP \-class class Class |
| 266 | Specifies a class for the window. |
| 267 | This class will be used when querying the option database for |
| 268 | the window's other options, and it will also be used later for |
| 269 | other purposes such as bindings. |
| 270 | The \fBclass\fR option may not be changed with the \fBconfigure\fR |
| 271 | widget command. |
| 272 | .OP \-colormap colormap Colormap |
| 273 | Specifies a colormap to use for the window. |
| 274 | The value may be either \fBnew\fR, in which case a new colormap is |
| 275 | created for the window and its children, or the name of another |
| 276 | window (which must be on the same screen and have the same visual |
| 277 | as \fIpathName\fR), in which case the new window will use the colormap |
| 278 | from the specified window. |
| 279 | If the \fBcolormap\fR option is not specified, the new window |
| 280 | uses the default colormap of its screen. |
| 281 | This option may not be changed with the \fBconfigure\fR |
| 282 | widget command. |
| 283 | .OP \-container container Container |
| 284 | The value must be a boolean. If true, it means that this window will |
| 285 | be used as a container in which some other application will be embedded |
| 286 | (for example, a Tk toplevel can be embedded using the \fB\-use\fR option). |
| 287 | The window will support the appropriate window manager protocols for |
| 288 | things like geometry requests. The window should not have any |
| 289 | children of its own in this application. |
| 290 | This option may not be changed with the \fBconfigure\fR |
| 291 | widget command. |
| 292 | .OP \-height height Height |
| 293 | Specifies the desired height for the window in any of the forms |
| 294 | acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. |
| 295 | If this option is less than or equal to zero then the window will |
| 296 | not request any size at all. |
| 297 | .OP \-menu menu Menu |
| 298 | Specifies a menu widget to be used as a menubar. On the Macintosh, the |
| 299 | menubar will be displayed across the top of the main monitor. On |
| 300 | Microsoft Windows and all UNIX platforms, the menu will appear across |
| 301 | the toplevel window as part of the window dressing maintained by the |
| 302 | window manager. |
| 303 | .OP \-screen "" "" |
| 304 | Specifies the screen on which to place the new window. |
| 305 | Any valid screen name may be used, even one associated with a |
| 306 | different display. |
| 307 | Defaults to the same screen as its parent. |
| 308 | This option is special in that it may not be specified via the option |
| 309 | database, and it may not be modified with the \fBconfigure\fR |
| 310 | widget command. |
| 311 | .OP \-use use Use |
| 312 | This option is used for embedding. If the value isn't an empty string, |
| 313 | it must be the window identifier of a container window, specified as |
| 314 | a hexadecimal string like the ones returned by the \fBwinfo id\fR |
| 315 | command. The toplevel widget will be created as a child of the given |
| 316 | container instead of the root window for the screen. If the container |
| 317 | window is in a Tk application, it must be a frame or toplevel widget for |
| 318 | which the \fB\-container\fR option was specified. |
| 319 | This option may not be changed with the \fBconfigure\fR |
| 320 | widget command. |
| 321 | .OP \-visual visual Visual |
| 322 | Specifies visual information for the new window in any of the |
| 323 | forms accepted by \fBTk_GetVisual\fR. |
| 324 | If this option is not specified, the new window will use the default |
| 325 | visual for its screen. |
| 326 | The \fBvisual\fR option may not be modified with the \fBconfigure\fR |
| 327 | widget command. |
| 328 | .OP \-width width Width |
| 329 | Specifies the desired width for the window in any of the forms |
| 330 | acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. |
| 331 | If this option is less than or equal to zero then the window will |
| 332 | not request any size at all. |
| 333 | .BE |
| 334 | |
| 335 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 336 | .PP |
| 337 | The \fBtoplevel\fR command creates a new toplevel widget (given |
| 338 | by the \fIpathName\fR argument). Additional |
| 339 | options, described above, may be specified on the command line |
| 340 | or in the option database |
| 341 | to configure aspects of the toplevel such as its background color |
| 342 | and relief. The \fBtoplevel\fR command returns the |
| 343 | path name of the new window. |
| 344 | .PP |
| 345 | A toplevel is similar to a frame except that it is created as a |
| 346 | top-level window: its X parent is the root window of a screen |
| 347 | rather than the logical parent from its path name. The primary |
| 348 | purpose of a toplevel is to serve as a container for dialog boxes |
| 349 | and other collections of widgets. The only visible features |
| 350 | of a toplevel are its background color and an optional 3-D border |
| 351 | to make the toplevel appear raised or sunken. |
| 352 | |
| 353 | .SH "WIDGET COMMAND" |
| 354 | .PP |
| 355 | The \fBtoplevel\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose |
| 356 | name is the same as the path name of the toplevel's window. This |
| 357 | command may be used to invoke various |
| 358 | operations on the widget. It has the following general form: |
| 359 | .CS |
| 360 | \fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR? |
| 361 | .CE |
| 362 | \fIPathName\fR is the name of the command, which is the same as |
| 363 | the toplevel widget's path name. \fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs |
| 364 | determine the exact behavior of the command. The following |
| 365 | commands are possible for toplevel widgets: |
| 366 | .TP |
| 367 | \fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR |
| 368 | Returns the current value of the configuration option given |
| 369 | by \fIoption\fR. |
| 370 | \fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBtoplevel\fR |
| 371 | command. |
| 372 | .TP |
| 373 | \fIpathName \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR? |
| 374 | Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. |
| 375 | If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of |
| 376 | the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for |
| 377 | information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified |
| 378 | with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the |
| 379 | one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding |
| 380 | sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified). If |
| 381 | one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified, then the command |
| 382 | modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in |
| 383 | this case the command returns an empty string. |
| 384 | \fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBtoplevel\fR |
| 385 | command. |
| 386 | |
| 387 | .SH BINDINGS |
| 388 | .PP |
| 389 | When a new toplevel is created, it has no default event bindings: |
| 390 | toplevels are not intended to be interactive. |
