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 otherwise.
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_message. 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}
tixMwm protocol pathName deactivate protocol_name
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 handler associated with this
protocol (by the wm protocol 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 -minimize are turned off.
