NAME
       Tk::tixWm - Tix's addition to the standard TK wm command.

SYNOPSIS
	   $widget->wmCapture

	   $widget->wmRelease

DESCRIPTION
       The wmCapture and the wmRelease methods change the toplevel attribute of Tk widgets.

METHODS
       $widget->wmCapture
	   Converts the toplevel window specified by $widget into a non-toplevel widget. Normally this command is called to convert a Toplevel
	   widget into a Frame widget. The newly-converted frame widget is un-mapped from the screen. To make it appear inside its parent, you
	   must call a geometry manager (e.g. grid or pack) explictly.

       $widget->wmRelease
	   Makes the non-toplevel window specified by $widget into a toplevel widget. Normally this command is called to convert a Frame widget
	   into a Toplevel widget, but it can also be used on any non-toplevel widget (e.g, label). The newly-converted toplevel window is in a
	   withdrawn state. To make it appear on the screen, you must call deiconify after calling wmRelease.

	   Any data associated with $widget via wm methods (icon, protocol, command etc.) are released, and must be re-established if window is
	   later re-captured.

BUGS
       wmCapture does not exist in the Win32 window manager code.

       How these methods interact with perl/Tk's class hierarchy is not yet clear.  In particular a wmReleased window will not automatically
       ``inherit'' the Tk::Wm methods, however a wmCaptured window still will.	(A released Label might make a good candidate for an Icon.)
