NAME
Tk::Labelframe - Create and manipulate Labelframe widgets
SYNOPSIS
$labelframe = $parent->Labelframe(?options?);
-borderwidth -highlightbackground -pady
-cursor -highlightcolor -relief
-font -highlightthickness -takefocus
-foreground -padx -text
WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
Option: -background
Name: background
Class: Background
This option is the same as the standard background option except
that its value may also be specified as an empty string. In this
case, the widget will display no background or border, and no
colors will be consumed from its colormap for its background and
border.
Option: -class
Name: class
Class: Class
Specifies a class for the window. 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
class option may not be changed with the configure method.
Option: -colormap
Name: colormap
Class: Colormap
Specifies a colormap to use for the window. The value may be
either new, 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 as $widget), in which case
the new window will use the colormap from the specified window. If
the colormap option is not specified, the new window uses the same
colormap as its parent. This option may not be changed with the
configure method.
Option: -container
Name: container
Class: Container
The value must be a boolean. If true, it means that this window
will be used as a container in which some other application will be
embedded (for example, a Tk toplevel can be embedded using the -use
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. This option may
not be changed with the configure method.
Option: -height
Name: height
Class: Height
Specifies the desired height for the window in any of the forms
acceptable to Tk_GetPixels. If this option is less than or equal
to zero then the window will not request any size at all.
Option: -labelanchor
Name: labelAnchor
Class: LabelAnchor
Specifies where to place the label. A label is only displayed if
the -text option is not the empty string. Valid values for this
option are (listing them clockwise) nw, n, ne, en, e, es, se, s,sw,
ws, w and wn. The default value is nw.
Option: -labelwidget
Name: labelWidget
Class: LabelWidget
Specifies a widget to use as label. This overrides any -text
option. The widget must exist before being used as -labelwidget and
if it is not a descendant of this window, it will be raised above
it in the stacking order.
Option: -visual
Name: visual
Class: Visual
Specifies visual information for the new window in any of the forms
accepted by Tk_GetVisual. If this option is not specified, the new
window will use the same visual as its parent. The visual option
may not be modified with the configure method.
Option: -width
Name: width
Class: Width
Specifies the desired width for the window in any of the forms
acceptable to Tk_GetPixels. If this option is less than or equal
to zero then the window will not request any size at all.
DESCRIPTION
The Labelframe method creates a new window (given by the $labelframe
argument) and makes it into a Labelframe widget. Additional options,
described above, may be specified on the command line or in the option
database to configure aspects of the Labelframe such as its background
color and relief.
A Labelframe is a simple widget. Its primary purpose is to act as a
spacer or container for complex window layouts. It has the features of
a Frame plus the ability to display a label.
WIDGET METHODS
The Labelframe method may be used to invoke various operations on the
widget. It has the following general form:
$widget->method(?arg arg ...?);
The following methods are possible for Labelframe widgets:
$widget->cget(option);
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the
Labelframe command.
$widget->configure(?option?, ?value, option, value, ...?);
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no
option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available
options for $widget (see Tk::configure for information on the
format of this list). If option is specified with no value, 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 option is specified). If one or more option-value
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. Option may have any of the values
accepted by the Labelframe command.
BINDINGS
When a new Labelframe is created, it has no default event bindings:
Labelframes are not intended to be interactive.
