Usage

Overview

The wm capture and the wm release commands change the toplevel attribute of Tk widgets.

Options

wm capture pathName

Converts the toplevel window specified by pathName into a non-toplevel widget. Normally this command is called to convert a toplevel widget into a frame widget. The newly-converted frame widget is un-mapped from the screen. To make it appear inside its parent, you must call a geometry manager (e.g. pack) explictly.

wm release pathName

Makes the non-toplevel window specified by pathName into a toplevel widget. Normally this command is called to convert a frame widget into a toplevel widget, but it can also be used on any non-toplevel widget (e.g, button). The newly-converted toplevel window is automatically mapped to the screen. To prevent it from appearing in the screen, you must call wm withdraw immediately after calling wm release.
