NAME
Tk_ConfigureWindow, Tk_MoveWindow, Tk_ResizeWindow, Tk_MoveResizeWindow, Tk_SetWindowBorderWidth, Tk_ChangeWindowAttributes, Tk_SetWindowBackground, Tk_SetWindowBackgroundPixmap, Tk_SetWindowBorder, Tk_SetWindowBorderPixmap, Tk_SetWindowColormap, Tk_DefineCursor, Tk_UndefineCursor - change window configuration or attributes
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h>
Tk_ConfigureWindow(tkwin, valueMask, valuePtr)
Tk_MoveWindow(tkwin, x, y)
Tk_ResizeWindow(tkwin, width, height)
Tk_MoveResizeWindow(tkwin, x, y, width, height)
Tk_SetWindowBorderWidth(tkwin, borderWidth)
Tk_ChangeWindowAttributes(tkwin, valueMask, attsPtr)
Tk_SetWindowBackground(tkwin, pixel)
Tk_SetWindowBackgroundPixmap(tkwin, pixmap)
Tk_SetWindowBorder(tkwin, pixel)
Tk_SetWindowBorderPixmap(tkwin, pixmap)
Tk_SetWindowColormap(tkwin, colormap)
Tk_DefineCursor(tkwin, cursor)
Tk_UndefineCursor(tkwin)
See the X library documentation for details on what these procedures do and how they use their arguments.
In the procedures Tk_ConfigureWindow, Tk_MoveWindow, Tk_ResizeWindow, Tk_MoveResizeWindow, and
Tk_SetWindowBorderWidth, if tkwin is an internal window then event handlers interested in configure events are invoked immediately, before the procedure returns. If tkwin is a top-level window then the event handlers will be invoked later, after X has seen the request and returned an event for it.
Applications using Tk should never call procedures like XConfigureWindow directly; they should always use the corresponding Tk procedures.
The size and location of a window should only be modified by the appropriate geometry manager for that window and never by a window itself (but see Tk_MoveToplevelWindow for moving a top-level window).
You may not use Tk_ConfigureWindow to change the stacking order of a window (valueMask may not contain the CWSibling or CWStackMode bits). To change the stacking order, use the procedure Tk_RestackWindow.
The procedure Tk_SetWindowColormap will automatically add tkwin to the TK_COLORMAP_WINDOWS property of its nearest top-level ancestor if the new colormap is different from that of tkwin's parent and tkwin isn't already in the TK_COLORMAP_WINDOWS property.
BUGS
Tk_SetWindowBackgroundPixmap and Tk_SetWindowBorderPixmap differ slightly from their Xlib counterparts in that the pixmap argument may not necessarily be deleted immediately after calling one of these procedures. This is because tkwin's window may not exist yet at the time of the call, in which case pixmap is merely saved and used later when tkwin's window is actually created. If you wish to delete pixmap, then call Tk_MakeWindowExist first to be sure that tkwin's window exists and pixmap has been passed to the X server.
A similar problem occurs for the cursor argument passed to Tk_DefineCursor. The solution is the same as for pixmaps above: call Tk_MakeWindowExist before freeing the cursor.
