Toplevel(n) [incr Tk] Toplevel(n) 







Toplevel - base class for mega-widgets in a top-level window








itk::Archetype <- itk::Toplevel








background	cursor


See the "options" manual entry for details on the
    standard options.








Name:   title
Class:  Title
Command-Line Switch:    -title



  

  
Sets the title that the window manager displays in the title bar above the
      window. The default title is the null string.
    
    

    

  










The Toplevel class inherits everything from the
    Archetype class, and adds a Tk toplevel called the "hull"
    component to represent the body of the mega-widget. The window class name
    for the hull is set to the most-specific class name for the mega-widget. The
    protected variable itk_interior contains the window path name for the
    "hull" component. Derived classes specialize this widget by
    packing other widget components into the hull.


Since the hull for the Toplevel class is implemented with a
    Tk toplevel, mega-widgets in the Toplevel class have their own
    toplevel window. This class is used to create dialog boxes and other pop-up
    windows.










Name:	hull
Class:	Toplevel



  

  
The "hull" component acts as the body for the entire
      mega-widget. Other components are packed into the hull to further
      specialize the widget.
    

  










The following example implements a MessageInfo mega-widget.
    It creates a pop-up message that the user can dismiss by pushing the
    "Dismiss" button.

    inherit itk::Toplevel
