NAME
Tk::tixWm - Tix's addition to the standard TK wm command.
SYNOPSIS
$widget->wmCapture
$widget->wmRelease
DESCRIPTION
The wmCapture and the wmRelease methods change the toplevel attribute
of Tk widgets.
METHODS
$widget->wmCapture
Converts the toplevel window specified by $widget 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. grid or pack)
explictly.
$widget->wmRelease
Makes the non-toplevel window specified by $widget 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, label). The newly-converted toplevel window is in a
withdrawn state. To make it appear on the screen, you must call
deiconify after calling wmRelease.
Any data associated with $widget via wm methods (icon, protocol,
command etc.) are released, and must be re-established if window is
later re-captured.
BUGS
wmCapture does not exist in the Win32 window manager code.
How these methods interact with perl/Tk's class hierarchy is not yet
clear. In particular a wmReleased window will not automatically
``inherit'' the Tk::Wm methods, however a wmCaptured window still will.
(A released Label might make a good candidate for an Icon.)
