getValues -resource vbl ...
getValues takes a list of resource/variable pairs and stores the
value of each resource in the corresponding variable.
setValues -resource value ...
setValues takes a list of resource/value pairs and sets each
resource to the corresponding value.
manageChild
This manages the child and brings it under the geometry management
of the parent.
unmanageChild
This removes the child from the geometry management of the parent.
getGC -background bg -foreground fg
This method creates a graphics context with the specified foreground
and background values, and returns an XID that can be used in
drawing commands requiring a graphics context.
callActionProc action [options]
This calls the widget action specified. The action must be in the
form it would appear in an action table, The event included given to
the action is by default of type ClientMessage. Options include
-type ButtonRelease | ButtonPress | KeyRelease | KeyPress
This sets the event type.
-x x
This sets the x value in the event.
-y y
This sets the y value in the event.
-keysysm keysym
This sets the keysym for a KeyRelease or KeyPress event. A
keysym is the Xt abstraction for keys.
For example the arrow widget has an action Activate() which requires x
and y values of the pointer:
callActionproc Activate()-type ButtonPress -x 0 -y 0

destroyWidget
The destroys the widget and the tcl command associated to it.
dragStart
This is used in drag and drop. See TmDrag.man.
dropSiteRegister
This is used in drag and drop. See TmDrag.man.
mapWidget
This maps the widget, causing it to become visible if unmapped.
processTraversal direction
This sets the widget that receives the next keyboard events. The
possible values are
current
down
home
left
next
next_tab_group
prev
prev_tab_group
right
up
realizeWidget
This realizes the widget and all its children, which creates windows
for the widget and its children. Generally this would only be used
on `.', but may be used on other widgets if it is neccessary that
they have an X window.
resources
This returns a list of resources that the widget has. Each element
of the list consists of a list of five values: the resource name as
used in get/setValues, the resource name as used in resource files,
the resource class as used in resource files, the resource type as
known to Motif and the resource value. in cases where the resource
value makes no sense (as in a C pointer), it is replaced by an empty
string.
setSensitive true | false
Sets the sensitivity of the widget to input events to either true or
false.

unmapWidget
This unmaps the widget, removing it from the display. It does not
remove it from the geometry management of the parent.
CALLBACK SUBSTITUTIONS
No substitutions are supported for this class.
BUGS
