Tk::Mwm - Communicate with the Motif(tm) window manager.
use Tk::Mwm;
$toplevel
->mwmOption?(args)?
$toplevel
->mwm(option
?,args?)
Interface to special extentions supported by mwm.
When no options are given, this method returns the values of all the
decorations options for the toplevel window with the
$toplevel
. 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 method, 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.
This returns value is true if mwm is running on the screen where the specified window is located, false otherwise.
When no additional options are given, this method returns all protocols associated with this toplevel window.
Activate the mwm protocol message in mwm's menu.
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 caught by the TK protocol method.
Here is an example:
$toplevel
->mwmProtocol('add'
=> 'MY_PRINT_HELLO', 'Print Hello _H Ctrl<Key>H');
$toplevel
->protocol('MY_PRINT_HELLO'
=> sub {print Hello});
Deactivate the mwm protocol message in mwm's menu.
Delete the mwm protocol message from mwm's menu. Please note that the
window manager protocol handler associated with this protocol (by the
protocol method) is not deleted automatically. You have
to delete the protocol handle explicitly. E.g.:
$mw
->mwmProtocol('delete'
=> 'MY_PRINT_HELLO');
$mw
->protocol('MY_PRINT_HELLO'
=> '');
This is a Tix extension which perl/Tk has adopted. It has not been tested as perl/Tk's author has not got round to installing a Motif Window Manager.
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.
