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 other
wise.
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_mes
sage. 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}
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 han
dler associated with this protocol (by the wm pro
tocol 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 -min
imize are turned off.
