NAME

       tixScrolledWindow - Create and manipulate Tix ScrolledWindow widgets

SYNOPSIS

       tixScrolledWindow pathName ?options?  -anchor   -background    -cursor -relief   -borderWidth

WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

       [-height  height]  Specifies  the  desired  height  for  the  window,  in pixels.  [-scrollbar scrollbar]
       Specifies the display policy of the scrollbars. The following values are recognized:

              auto ?+x? ?-x? ?+y? ?-y?
                     When -scrollbar is set to "auto", the scrollbars are shown  only  when  needed.  Additional
                     modifiers  can  be  used to force a scrollbar to be shown or hidden. For example, "auto -y"
                     means the horizontal scrollbar should be shown  when  needed  but  the  vertical  scrollbar
                     should always be hidden; "auto +x" means the vertical scrollbar should be shown when needed
                     but the horizontal scrollbar should always be shown, and so on.

              both   Both scrollbars are shown

              none   The scrollbars are never shown.

              x      Only the horizontal scrollbar is shown;

              y      Only the vertical scrollbar is shown.
       [-width     width]     Specifies     the     desired     width     for    the    window,    in    pixels.
       [-xscrollincrement xScrollIncrement] Specifies  by  how  much  the  window  should  be  scrolled  in  the
       horizontal  direction  when  the  user  presses  the  arrows  in  the  horizontal  scrollbar.  In Pixels.
       [-yscrollincrement yScrollIncrement] Specifies by how much the window should be scrolled in the  vertical
       direction when the user presses the arrows in the horizontal scrollbar. In pixels.

SUBWIDGETS

       Name:          hsb
       Class:         Scrollbar

              The horizontal scrollbar subwidget.

       Name:          window
       Class:         Frame

              The frame subwidget which is scrolled by the ScrolledWindow widget.

       Name:          vsb
       Class:         Scrollbar

              The vertical scrollbar subwidget.

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 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.
