NAME¶
tixMwm - Communicate with the Motif(tm) window manager.
SYNOPSIS¶
tixMwm option pathName ?
args?
COMMAND OPTIONS¶
- tixMwm decoration pathName ?option?
?value ...?
- When no options are given, this command returns the values
of all the decorations options for the toplevel window with the
pathName.
When only one option is given without specifying the value, the current
value of that option is returned.
When more than one "option value" pairs are passed to this
command, the specified values will be assigned to the corresponding
options. As a result, the appearance of the Motif decorations around the
toplevel window will be changed.
Possible options are: -border, -menu, -maximize,
-minimize, -resizeh and -title. The value must be a
Boolean value. The values returned by this command are undefined when the
window is not managed by mwm.
- tixMwm ismwmrunning pathName
- This returns true if mwm is running on the screen where the
specified window is located, false otherwise.
- tixMwm protocol pathName
- When no additional options are given, this command returns
all protocols associated with this toplevel window.
- tixMwm protocol pathName activate
protocol_name
- Activate the mwm protocol message in mwm's menu.
- tixMwm protocol pathName add
protocol_name menu_message
- Add a new mwm protocol message for this toplevel window.
The message is identified by the string name specified in
protocol_name. A menu item will be added into mwm's menu as
specified by menu_message. Once a new mwm protocol message is added
to a toplevel, it can be catched by the TK wm protocol command.
Here is an example: tixMwm protocol . add MY_PRINT_HELLO \
{"Print Hello" _H Ctrl<Key>H} wm protocol . MY_PRINT_HELLO
{puts Hello}
- tixMwm protocol pathName deactivate
protocol_name
- Deactivate the mwm protocol message in mwm's menu.
- tixMwm protocol pathName delete
protocol_name
- Delete the mwm protocol message from mwm's menu. Please
note that the window manager protocol handler associated with this
protocol (by the wm protocol command) is not deleted automatically.
You have to delete the protocol handle explicitly. E.g.: tixMwm protocol .
delete MY_PRINT_HELLO wm protocol . MY_PRINT_HELLO {}
BUGS¶
On some versions of Mwm, the
-border will not disappear unless
-resizeh is turned off. Also, the -title will not disappear unless all
of
-title,
-menu,
-maximize and
-minimize are
turned off.
