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.
