Overview

This widget can be used to display help messages, consisting of text in a variety of different fonts, in a window.

Widget command

The gk_topicWindow command creates a new Tcl command whose name is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following general form:

pathName option ?arg arg ...?

Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for gk_topicWindow widgets:

pathName button

Return the path name of the button at the bottom of the widget.

pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?

Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of this list). If option is specified with no value, then the command returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value returned if no option is specified). If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. Option may have any of the values accepted by the gk_topicWindow command.

pathName cget option

Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the text command.

pathName scrollbar

Return the path name of the widget's scrollbar.

pathName text

Return the path name of the widget's text widget.

pathName title

Return the path name of the widget's title label.

pathName window

Return the path name of the widget's toplevel window.

Default bindings

The dismiss button destroys the window when pressed.
