except that its value may also be specified as an empty string.

In this case, the widget will display no background or border, and

This class will be used when querying the option database for

the window's other options, and it will also be used later for
|
||
|
|
other purposes such as bindings.

The value may be either <B>new</B>, in which case a new colormap is

created for the window and its children, or the name of another
|

|
window (which must be on the same screen and have the same visual

from the specified window.

If the <B>colormap</B> option is not specified, the new window
|

uses the same colormap as its parent.

be used as a container in which some other application will be embedded
|

|

(for example, a Tk toplevel can be embedded using the <B>-use</B> option).
|
||
|
|
The window will support the appropriate window manager protocols for
|
||
|
|
things like geometry requests. The window should not have any
|

children of its own in this application.

acceptable to <B><A HREF="../TclLib/GetPixels.htm">Tk_GetPixels</A></B>.

If this option is not specified, the new window will use the same

visual as its parent.

<H3><A NAME="M13">DESCRIPTION</A></H3>
|
||
|
|
The <B>frame</B> command creates a new window (given by the
|
||
|
|
<I>pathName</I> argument) and makes it into a frame widget.
|
||
|
|
Additional
|
||
|
|
options, described above, may be specified on the command line
|
||
|
|
or in the option database
|
||
|
|
to configure aspects of the frame such as its background color
|
||
|
|
and relief. The <B>frame</B> command returns the
|
||
|
|
path name of the new window.
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
A frame is a simple widget. Its primary purpose is to act as a
|
||
|
|
spacer or container for complex window layouts. The only features
|
||
|
|
of a frame are its background color and an optional 3-D border to make the
|
||
|
|
frame appear raised or sunken.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<H3><A NAME="M14">WIDGET COMMAND</A></H3>
|
||
|
|
The <B>frame</B> command creates a new Tcl command whose
|
||
|
|
name is the same as the path name of the frame's window. This
|
||
|
|
command may be used to invoke various
|
||
|
|
operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
|
||
|
|
<PRE><I>pathName option </I>?<I>arg arg ...</I>?</PRE>
|
||
|
|
<I>PathName</I> is the name of the command, which is the same as
|
||
|
|
the frame widget's path name. <I>Option</I> and the <I>arg</I>s
|
||
|
|
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following
|
||
|
|
commands are possible for frame widgets:
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
<DL>
|
||
|
|
<P><DT><A NAME="M15"><I>pathName </I><B>cget</B> <I>option</I></A><DD>
|
||
|
|
Returns the current value of the configuration option given
|
||
|
|
by <I>option</I>.
|
||
|
|
<I>Option</I> may have any of the values accepted by the <B>frame</B>
|
||
|
|
command.
|
||
|
|
<P><DT><A NAME="M16"><I>pathName </I><B>configure</B> ?<I>option</I>? <I>?value option value ...</I>?</A><DD>
|
||
|
|
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.
|
||
|
|
If no <I>option</I> is specified, returns a list describing all of
|
||
|
|
the available options for <I>pathName</I> (see <B><A HREF="../TclLib/ConfigWidg.htm">Tk_ConfigureInfo</A></B> for
|
||
|
|
information on the format of this list). If <I>option</I> is specified
|
||
|
|
with no <I>value</I>, 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 <I>option</I> is specified). If
|
||
|
|
one or more <I>option-value</I> 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.
|
||
|
|
<I>Option</I> may have any of the values accepted by the <B>frame</B>
|
||
|
|
command.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<P></DL>
|
||
|
|
<H3><A NAME="M17">BINDINGS</A></H3>
|
||
|
|
When a new frame is created, it has no default event bindings:
|
||
|
|
frames are not intended to be interactive.
