# sizegrip(3tcl)

A silly widget

## NAME

ttk::sizegrip - A silly widget

## SYNOPSIS

**ttk::sizegrip** *pathName* ?*options*?

## DESCRIPTION

A **sizegrip** widget (also known as a *grow box*) allows the user to resize the containing toplevel window by pressing and dragging the grip. -class	-cursor	-state	-style -takefocus

## WIDGET COMMAND

Sizegrip widgets support the standard **cget**, **configure**, **instate**, and **state** methods.  No other widget methods are used.

## PLATFORM-SPECIFIC NOTES

On Mac OSX, toplevel windows automatically include a built-in size grip by default. Adding an **ttk::sizegrip** there is harmless, since the built-in grip will just mask the widget.

## EXAMPLES

\# Using pack: pack \[ttk::frame $top.statusbar\] -side bottom -fill x pack \[ttk::sizegrip $top.statusbar.grip\] -side right -anchor se

\# Using grid: grid \[ttk::sizegrip $top.statusbar.grip\]     -row $lastRow -column $lastColumn -sticky se # ... optional: add vertical scrollbar in $lastColumn, # ... optional: add horizontal scrollbar in $lastRow

## BUGS

If the containing toplevel's position was specified relative to the right or bottom of the screen (e.g., **\[wm geometry ...** *w***x***h***-***x***-***y***\]** instead of **\[wm geometry ...** *w***x***h***+***x***+***y***\]**), the sizegrip widget will not resize the window.

ttk::sizegrip widgets only support "southeast" resizing.
