raise(n)                                                       Tk Built-In Commands                                                       raise(n)

NAME

       raise - Change a window's position in the stacking order

SYNOPSIS

       raise window ?aboveThis?
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       If  the aboveThis argument is omitted then the command raises window so that it is above all of its siblings in the stacking order (it will
       not be obscured by any siblings and will obscure any siblings that overlap it).  If aboveThis is specified then it must be the path name of
       a  window  that  is either a sibling of window or the descendant of a sibling of window.  In this case the raise command will insert window
       into the stacking order just above aboveThis (or the ancestor of aboveThis that is a sibling of window); this could end up  either  raising
       or lowering window.

EXAMPLE

       Make  a  button appear to be in a sibling frame that was created after it. This is is often necessary when building GUIs in the style where
       you create your activity widgets first before laying them out on the display:
              button .b -text "Hi there!"
              pack [frame .f -background blue]
              pack [label .f.l1 -text "This is above"]
              pack .b -in .f
              pack [label .f.l2 -text "This is below"]
              raise .b
