NAME

6       Tk::tixWm - Tix's addition to the standard TK wm command.
7

SYNOPSIS

9           $widget->wmCapture
10
11           $widget->wmRelease
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The wmCapture and the wmRelease methods change the toplevel attribute
15       of Tk widgets.
16

METHODS

18       $widget->wmCapture
19           Converts the toplevel window specified by $widget into a non-
20           toplevel widget. Normally this command is called to convert a
21           Toplevel widget into a Frame widget. The newly-converted frame
22           widget is un-mapped from the screen. To make it appear inside its
23           parent, you must call a geometry manager (e.g. grid or pack)
24           explictly.
25
26       $widget->wmRelease
27           Makes the non-toplevel window specified by $widget into a toplevel
28           widget. Normally this command is called to convert a Frame widget
29           into a Toplevel widget, but it can also be used on any non-toplevel
30           widget (e.g, label). The newly-converted toplevel window is in a
31           withdrawn state. To make it appear on the screen, you must call
32           deiconify after calling wmRelease.
33
34           Any data associated with $widget via wm methods (icon, protocol,
35           command etc.) are released, and must be re-established if window is
36           later re-captured.
37

BUGS

39       wmCapture does not exist in the Win32 window manager code.
40
41       How these methods interact with perl/Tk's class hierarchy is not yet
42       clear.  In particular a wmReleased window will not automatically
43       ``inherit'' the Tk::Wm methods, however a wmCaptured window still will.
44       (A released Label might make a good candidate for an Icon.)
