_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
The NBFrame widget is used privately inside the TixNoteBook(n) widget to display the page tabs. The application programmer should never
create a NBFrame widget directly. The sole purpose of this maual page is to describe the options that can be used to configure the appear-
ance of the TixNoteBook widget.
The name of the NBFrame subwidget inside the TixNoteBook widget is called nbframe. It can be accessed using the subwidget command of the
TixNoteBook widget or the -options switch. See below for an example.
EXAMPLE
set nb [tixNoteBook .nb -options {
nbframe.BackPageColor gray60
}]
$nb subwidget nbframe config -font fixed
$nb add page1 -label "Page1"
set page [$nb subwidget page1]
button $page.b1
pack $page.b1
pack $nb -expand yes -fill both

tixLabelFrame - Create and manipulate tixLabelFrame widgets
SYNOPSIS
tixLabelFrame pathName ?options?
SUPER-CLASS
The TixLabelFrame class is derived from the TixLabelWidget class and inherits all the commands, options and subwidgets of its super-class.
STANDARD OPTIONS
The LabelFrame widget supports all the standard options of a frame widget. See the options(n) manual entry for details on the standard
options.
WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
[-label label] Specifies the string to display as the label of this LabelFrame widget. [-labelside labelSide] Specifies where the label
should be displayed relative to the entry subwidget. Valid options are: top, left, right, bottom, none or acrosstop. [-padx padX] Speci-
fies the amount of the horizontal padding around the frame subwidget. Must be a valid non-negative integer number. [-pady padY] Specifies
the amount of the vertical padding around the frame subwidget.
SUBWIDGETS
Name: frame
Class: Frame
The frame subwidget.
Name: label
Class: Label
The label subwidget.
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
The tixLabelFrame command creates a new window (given by the pathName argument) and makes it into a LabelFrame widget. Additional options,
described above, may be specified on the command line or in the option database to configure aspects of the LabelFrame such as its cursor
and relief.
CREATING WIDGETS INSIDE A LABELFRAME
The LabelFrame widget packages a frame widget and a label into one mega widget. To create widgets inside a LabelFrame widget, one must cre-
ate the new widgets relative to the frame subwidget and manage them inside the frame subwidget. An error will be generated if one tries to
create widgets as immediate children of the LabelFrame. For example: the following is correct code, which creates new widgets inside the
frame subwidget:
tixLabelFrame .f
set f [.f subwidget frame]
button $f.b -text hi
pack $f.b
The following example code is incorrect because it tries to create immediate children of the LabelFrame .f:
tixLabelFrame .f
# wrong!
button .f.b -text hi
pack .f.b
WIDGET COMMANDS
The tixLabelFrame command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the same as the path name of the LabelFrame's window. This command may be
used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as the LabelFrame widget's path name. Option and the args determine the exact behav-
ior of the command. The following commands are possible for LabelFrame widgets:
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the tixLabel-
Frame command.
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 tixLabelFrame command.
pathName subwidget name ?args?
When no options are given, this command returns the pathname of the subwidget of the specified name.
When options are given, the widget command of the specified subwidget will be called with these options.
