DESCRIPTION
The tixScrolledWindow command creates a new window (given by
the pathName argument) and makes it into a ScrolledWindow
widget. Additional options, described above, may be
specified on the command line or in the option database to
configure aspects of the ScrolledWindow widget such as its
cursor and relief.
CREATING WIDGETS INSIDE A SCROLLEDWINDOW WIDGET
To create widgets inside a ScrolledWindow widget, one must
create the new widgets relative to the window subwidget and
manage them inside the window subwidget. An error will be
generated if one tries to create widgets as immediate
children of the ScrolledWindow. For example: the following
Page 2 (printed 12/22/98)
tixScrolledWindow(n) Tix (4.0) tixScrolledWindow(n)
is correct code, which creates new widgets inside the window
subwidget:
tixScrolledWindow .w; pack .w
set f [.w subwidget window]
button $f.b -text hi -width 40 -height 40
pack $f.b
The following example code is incorrect because it tries to
create immediate children of the ScrolledWindow .w:
tixScrolledWindow .w; pack .w
button .w.b -text hi -width 40 -height 40
pack .w.b
WIDGET COMMANDS
The tixScrolledWindow command creates a new Tcl command
whose name is the same as the path name of the
ScrolledWindow widget's window. This command may be used to
invoke various operations on the widget. It has the
following general form:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as
the ScrolledWindow widget's path name. Option and the args
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following
commands are possible for ScrolledWindow widgets:
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration option
given by option. Option may have any of the values
accepted by the tixScrolledWindow command.
pathName 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 pathName
(see Tk_ConfigureInfo 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
tixScrolledWindow command.
pathName subwidget name ?args?

When no additional arguments are given, returns the
pathname of the subwidget of the specified name.
When no additional arguments are given, the widget
command of the specified subwidget will be called with
these parameters.
