NAME¶
raise - Change a window's position in the stacking order
SYNOPSIS¶
raise window ?
aboveThis?
DESCRIPTION¶
If the
aboveThis argument is omitted then the command raises
window so that it is above all of its siblings in the stacking order
(it will not be obscured by any siblings and will obscure any siblings that
overlap it). If
aboveThis is specified then it must be the path name of
a window that is either a sibling of
window or the descendant of a
sibling of
window. In this case the
raise command will insert
window into the stacking order just above
aboveThis (or the
ancestor of
aboveThis that is a sibling of
window); this could
end up either raising or lowering
window.
EXAMPLE¶
Make a button appear to be in a sibling frame that was created after it. This is
is often necessary when building GUIs in the style where you create your
activity widgets first before laying them out on the display:
button .b -text "Hi there!"
pack [frame .f -background blue]
pack [label .f.l1 -text "This is above"]
pack .b -in .f
pack [label .f.l2 -text "This is below"]
raise .b
