XmMainWindowSetAreas(3X)												  XmMainWindowSetAreas(3X)

NAME

       XmMainWindowSetAreas - A MainWindow function that identifies manageable children for each area

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/MainW.h>

       void XmMainWindowSetAreas (widget, menu_bar, command_window, horizontal_scrollbar, vertical_scrollbar, work_region)
	       Widget widget;
	       Widget menu_bar;
	       Widget command_window;
	       Widget horizontal_scrollbar;
	       Widget vertical_scrollbar;
	       Widget work_region;

DESCRIPTION

       XmMainWindowSetAreas  identifies which of the valid children for each area (such as the MenuBar and work region) are to be actively managed
       by MainWindow. This function also sets up or adds the MenuBar, work window, command window, and ScrollBar widgets to the application's main
       window widget.

       Each  area is optional; therefore, the user can pass NULL to one or more of the following arguments.  The window manager provides the title
       bar.  Specifies the MainWindow widget ID.  Specifies the widget ID for the MenuBar to be associated with the MainWindow widget.	 Set  this
       ID  only  after	creating an instance of the MainWindow widget.	The attribute name associated with this argument is XmNmenuBar.  Specifies
       the widget ID for the command window to be associated with the MainWindow widget.  Set this ID only after creating an instance of the Main-
       Window widget.  The attribute name associated with this argument is XmNcommandWindow.  Specifies the ScrollBar widget ID for the horizontal
       ScrollBar to be associated with the MainWindow widget.  Set this ID only  after	creating  an  instance	of  the  MainWindow  widget.   The
       attribute name associated with this argument is XmNhorizontalScrollBar.	Specifies the ScrollBar widget ID for the vertical ScrollBar to be
       associated with the MainWindow widget.  Set this ID only after creating an instance of the MainWindow widget.  The attribute  name  associ-
       ated  with this argument is XmNverticalScrollBar.  Specifies the widget ID for the work window to be associated with the MainWindow widget.
       Set this ID only after creating an instance of the MainWindow widget.  The attribute name associated with this argument is XmNworkWindow.

       For a complete definition of MainWindow and its associated resources, see XmMainWindow(3X).

NAME

       Tk::MainWindow - Root widget of a widget tree

SYNOPSIS

	   use Tk;

	   my $mw = MainWindow->new( ... options ... );

	   my $this = $mw->ThisWidget -> pack ;
	   my $that = $mw->ThatWidget;
	   ...

	   MainLoop;

DESCRIPTION

       Perl/Tk applications (which have windows associated with them) create one or more MainWindows which act as the containers and parents of
       the other widgets.

       Tk::MainWindow is a special kind of Toplevel widget. It is the root of a widget tree. Therefore "$mw->Parent" returns "undef".

       The default title of a MainWindow is the basename of the script (actually the Class name used for options lookup, i.e. with basename with
       inital caps) or 'Ptk' as the fallback value.  If more than one MainWindow is created or several instances of the script are running at the
       same time the string " #n" is appended where the number "n" is set to get a unique value.

       Unlike the standard Tcl/Tk's wish, perl/Tk allows you to create several MainWindows.  When the last MainWindow is destroyed the Tk
       eventloop exits (the eventloop is entered with the call of "MainLoop"). Various resources (bindings, fonts, images, colors) are maintained
       or cached for each MainWindow, so each MainWindow consumes more resources than a Toplevel. However multiple MainWindows can make sense when
       the user can destroy them independently.

METHODS

       You can apply all methods that a Toplevel widget accepts.

       The method $w->MainWindow applied to any widget will return the MainWindow to which the widget belongs (the  MainWindow belongs to itself).

MISSING

       Documentation is incomplete.  Here are some missing items that should be explained in more detail:

       o   The new mechanism for MainWindows is slightly different to other widgets.

       o   There no explanation about what resources are bound to a MainWindow (e.g., ClassInit done per MainWindow)

       o   Passing of command line options to override or augment arguments of the "new" method (see Tk::CmdLine).
