250 options \- Standard options supported by widgets
254 This manual entry describes the common configuration options supported
255 by widgets in the Tk toolkit. Every widget does not necessarily support
256 every option (see the manual entries for individual widgets for a list
257 of the standard options supported by that widget), but if a widget does
258 support an option with one of the names listed below, then the option
259 has exactly the effect described below.
261 In the descriptions below, ``Command-Line Name'' refers to the
262 switch used in class commands and \fBconfigure\fR widget commands to
263 set this value. For example, if an option's command-line switch is
264 \fB\-foreground\fR and there exists a widget \fB.a.b.c\fR, then the
267 \&\fB.a.b.c\0\0configure\0\0\-foreground black\fR
269 may be used to specify the value \fBblack\fR for the option in the
270 the widget \fB.a.b.c\fR. Command-line switches may be abbreviated,
271 as long as the abbreviation is unambiguous.
272 ``Database Name'' refers to the option's name in the option database (e.g.
273 in .Xdefaults files). ``Database Class'' refers to the option's class value
274 in the option database.
275 .OP \-activebackground activeBackground Foreground
276 Specifies background color to use when drawing active elements.
277 An element (a widget or portion of a widget) is active if the
278 mouse cursor is positioned over the element and pressing a mouse button
279 will cause some action to occur.
280 If strict Motif compliance has been requested by setting the
281 \fBtk_strictMotif\fR variable, this option will normally be
282 ignored; the normal background color will be used instead.
284 For some elements on Windows and Macintosh systems, the active color
285 will only be used while mouse button 1 is pressed over the element.
287 .OP \-activeborderwidth activeBorderWidth BorderWidth
288 Specifies a non-negative value indicating
289 the width of the 3-D border drawn around active elements. See above for
290 definition of active elements.
291 The value may have any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR.
292 This option is typically only available in widgets displaying more
293 than one element at a time (e.g. menus but not buttons).
294 .OP \-activeforeground activeForeground Background
295 Specifies foreground color to use when drawing active elements.
296 See above for definition of active elements.
297 .OP \-anchor anchor Anchor
298 Specifies how the information in a widget (e.g. text or a bitmap)
299 is to be displayed in the widget.
300 Must be one of the values \fBn\fR, \fBne\fR, \fBe\fR, \fBse\fR,
301 \fBs\fR, \fBsw\fR, \fBw\fR, \fBnw\fR, or \fBcenter\fR.
302 For example, \fBnw\fR means display the information such that its
303 top-left corner is at the top-left corner of the widget.
304 .OP "\-background or \-bg" background Background
305 Specifies the normal background color to use when displaying the
307 .OP \-bitmap bitmap Bitmap
308 Specifies a bitmap to display in the widget, in any of the forms
309 acceptable to \fBTk_GetBitmap\fR.
310 The exact way in which the bitmap is displayed may be affected by
311 other options such as \fBanchor\fR or \fBjustify\fR.
312 Typically, if this option is specified then it overrides other
313 options that specify a textual value to display in the widget;
314 the \fBbitmap\fR option may be reset to an empty string to re-enable
316 In widgets that support both \fBbitmap\fR and \fBimage\fR options,
317 \fBimage\fR will usually override \fBbitmap\fR.
318 .OP "\-borderwidth or \-bd" borderWidth BorderWidth
319 Specifies a non-negative value indicating the width
320 of the 3-D border to draw around the outside of the widget (if such a
321 border is being drawn; the \fBrelief\fR option typically determines
322 this). The value may also be used when drawing 3-D effects in the
323 interior of the widget.
324 The value may have any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR.
325 .OP \-cursor cursor Cursor
326 Specifies the mouse cursor to be used for the widget.
327 The value may have any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetCursor\fR.
328 .OP \-disabledforeground disabledForeground DisabledForeground
329 Specifies foreground color to use when drawing a disabled element.
330 If the option is specified as an empty string (which is typically the
331 case on monochrome displays), disabled elements are drawn with the
332 normal foreground color but they are dimmed by drawing them
333 with a stippled fill pattern.
334 .OP \-exportselection exportSelection ExportSelection
335 Specifies whether or not a selection in the widget should also be
337 The value may have any of the forms accepted by \fBTcl_GetBoolean\fR,
338 such as \fBtrue\fR, \fBfalse\fR, \fB0\fR, \fB1\fR, \fByes\fR, or \fBno\fR.
339 If the selection is exported, then selecting in the widget deselects
340 the current X selection, selecting outside the widget deselects any
341 widget selection, and the widget will respond to selection retrieval
342 requests when it has a selection. The default is usually for widgets
343 to export selections.
345 Specifies the font to use when drawing text inside the widget.
346 The value may have any of the forms accepted by \fBTk_GetFont\fR.
347 .OP "\-foreground or \-fg" foreground Foreground
348 Specifies the normal foreground color to use when displaying the widget.
349 .OP \-highlightbackground highlightBackground HighlightBackground
350 Specifies the color to display in the traversal highlight region when
351 the widget does not have the input focus.
352 .OP \-highlightcolor highlightColor HighlightColor
353 Specifies the color to use for the traversal highlight rectangle that is
354 drawn around the widget when it has the input focus.
355 .OP \-highlightthickness highlightThickness HighlightThickness
356 Specifies a non-negative value indicating the width of the highlight
357 rectangle to draw around the outside of the widget when it has the
359 The value may have any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR.
360 If the value is zero, no focus highlight is drawn around the widget.
361 .OP \-image image Image
362 Specifies an image to display in the widget, which must have been
363 created with the \fBimage create\fR command.
364 Typically, if the \fBimage\fR option is specified then it overrides other
365 options that specify a bitmap or textual value to display in the widget;
366 the \fBimage\fR option may be reset to an empty string to re-enable
367 a bitmap or text display.
368 .OP \-insertbackground insertBackground Foreground
369 Specifies the color to use as background in the area covered by the
370 insertion cursor. This color will normally override either the normal
371 background for the widget (or the selection background if the insertion
372 cursor happens to fall in the selection).
373 .OP \-insertborderwidth insertBorderWidth BorderWidth
374 Specifies a non-negative value indicating the width
375 of the 3-D border to draw around the insertion cursor.
376 The value may have any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR.
377 .OP \-insertofftime insertOffTime OffTime
378 Specifies a non-negative integer value indicating the number of
379 milliseconds the insertion cursor should remain ``off'' in each blink cycle.
380 If this option is zero then the cursor doesn't blink: it is on
382 .OP \-insertontime insertOnTime OnTime
383 Specifies a non-negative integer value indicating the number of
384 milliseconds the insertion cursor should remain ``on'' in each blink cycle.
385 .OP \-insertwidth insertWidth InsertWidth
386 Specifies a value indicating the total width of the insertion cursor.
387 The value may have any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR.
388 If a border has been specified for the insertion
389 cursor (using the \fBinsertBorderWidth\fR option), the border
390 will be drawn inside the width specified by the \fBinsertWidth\fR
393 For widgets with a slider that can be dragged to adjust a value,
394 such as scrollbars, this option determines when
395 notifications are made about changes in the value.
396 The option's value must be a boolean of the form accepted by
397 \fBTcl_GetBoolean\fR.
398 If the value is false, updates are made continuously as the
400 If the value is true, updates are delayed until the mouse button
401 is released to end the drag; at that point a single notification
402 is made (the value ``jumps'' rather than changing smoothly).
403 .OP \-justify justify Justify
404 When there are multiple lines of text displayed in a widget, this
405 option determines how the lines line up with each other.
406 Must be one of \fBleft\fR, \fBcenter\fR, or \fBright\fR.
407 \fBLeft\fR means that the lines' left edges all line up, \fBcenter\fR
408 means that the lines' centers are aligned, and \fBright\fR means
409 that the lines' right edges line up.
410 .OP \-orient orient Orient
411 For widgets that can lay themselves out with either a horizontal
412 or vertical orientation, such as scrollbars, this option specifies
413 which orientation should be used. Must be either \fBhorizontal\fR
414 or \fBvertical\fR or an abbreviation of one of these.
416 Specifies a non-negative value indicating how much extra space
417 to request for the widget in the X-direction.
418 The value may have any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR.
419 When computing how large a window it needs, the widget will
420 add this amount to the width it would normally need (as determined
421 by the width of the things displayed in the widget); if the geometry
422 manager can satisfy this request, the widget will end up with extra
423 internal space to the left and/or right of what it displays inside.
424 Most widgets only use this option for padding text: if they are
425 displaying a bitmap or image, then they usually ignore padding
428 Specifies a non-negative value indicating how much extra space
429 to request for the widget in the Y-direction.
430 The value may have any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR.
431 When computing how large a window it needs, the widget will add
432 this amount to the height it would normally need (as determined by
433 the height of the things displayed in the widget); if the geometry
434 manager can satisfy this request, the widget will end up with extra
435 internal space above and/or below what it displays inside.
436 Most widgets only use this option for padding text: if they are
437 displaying a bitmap or image, then they usually ignore padding
439 .OP \-relief relief Relief
440 Specifies the 3-D effect desired for the widget. Acceptable
441 values are \fBraised\fR, \fBsunken\fR, \fBflat\fR, \fBridge\fR,
442 \fBsolid\fR, and \fBgroove\fR.
444 indicates how the interior of the widget should appear relative
445 to its exterior; for example, \fBraised\fR means the interior of
446 the widget should appear to protrude from the screen, relative to
447 the exterior of the widget.
448 .OP \-repeatdelay repeatDelay RepeatDelay
449 Specifies the number of milliseconds a button or key must be held
450 down before it begins to auto-repeat. Used, for example, on the
451 up- and down-arrows in scrollbars.
452 .OP \-repeatinterval repeatInterval RepeatInterval
453 Used in conjunction with \fBrepeatDelay\fR: once auto-repeat
454 begins, this option determines the number of milliseconds between
456 .OP \-selectbackground selectBackground Foreground
457 Specifies the background color to use when displaying selected
459 .OP \-selectborderwidth selectBorderWidth BorderWidth
460 Specifies a non-negative value indicating the width
461 of the 3-D border to draw around selected items.
462 The value may have any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR.
463 .OP \-selectforeground selectForeground Background
464 Specifies the foreground color to use when displaying selected
466 .OP \-setgrid setGrid SetGrid
467 Specifies a boolean value that determines whether this widget controls the
468 resizing grid for its top-level window.
469 This option is typically used in text widgets, where the information
470 in the widget has a natural size (the size of a character) and it makes
471 sense for the window's dimensions to be integral numbers of these units.
472 These natural window sizes form a grid.
473 If the \fBsetGrid\fR option is set to true then the widget will
474 communicate with the window manager so that when the user interactively
475 resizes the top-level window that contains the widget, the dimensions of
476 the window will be displayed to the user in grid units and the window
477 size will be constrained to integral numbers of grid units.
478 See the section GRIDDED GEOMETRY MANAGEMENT in the \fBwm\fR manual
479 entry for more details.
480 .OP \-takefocus takeFocus TakeFocus
481 Determines whether the window accepts the focus during keyboard
482 traversal (e.g., Tab and Shift-Tab).
483 Before setting the focus to a window, the traversal scripts
484 consult the value of the \fBtakeFocus\fR option.
485 A value of \fB0\fR means that the window should be skipped entirely
486 during keyboard traversal.
487 \fB1\fR means that the window should receive the input
488 focus as long as it is viewable (it and all of its ancestors are mapped).
489 An empty value for the option means that the traversal scripts make
490 the decision about whether or not to focus on the window: the current
491 algorithm is to skip the window if it is
492 disabled, if it has no key bindings, or if it is not viewable.
493 If the value has any other form, then the traversal scripts take
494 the value, append the name of the window to it (with a separator space),
495 and evaluate the resulting string as a Tcl script.
496 The script must return \fB0\fR, \fB1\fR, or an empty string: a
497 \fB0\fR or \fB1\fR value specifies whether the window will receive
498 the input focus, and an empty string results in the default decision
500 Note: this interpretation of the option is defined entirely by
501 the Tcl scripts that implement traversal: the widget implementations
502 ignore the option entirely, so you can change its meaning if you
503 redefine the keyboard traversal scripts.
505 Specifies a string to be displayed inside the widget. The way in which
506 the string is displayed depends on the particular widget and may be
507 determined by other options, such as \fBanchor\fR or \fBjustify\fR.
508 .OP \-textvariable textVariable Variable
509 Specifies the name of a variable. The value of the variable is a text
510 string to be displayed inside the widget; if the variable value changes
511 then the widget will automatically update itself to reflect the new value.
512 The way in which the string is displayed in the widget depends on the
513 particular widget and may be determined by other options, such as
514 \fBanchor\fR or \fBjustify\fR.
515 .OP \-troughcolor troughColor Background
516 Specifies the color to use for the rectangular trough areas
517 in widgets such as scrollbars and scales. This option is ignored for
518 scrollbars on Windows (native widget doesn't recognize this option).
519 .OP \-underline underline Underline
520 Specifies the integer index of a character to underline in the widget.
521 This option is used by the default bindings to implement keyboard
522 traversal for menu buttons and menu entries.
523 0 corresponds to the first character of the text displayed in the
524 widget, 1 to the next character, and so on.
525 .OP \-wraplength wrapLength WrapLength
526 For widgets that can perform word-wrapping, this option specifies
527 the maximum line length.
528 Lines that would exceed this length are wrapped onto the next line,
529 so that no line is longer than the specified length.
530 The value may be specified in any of the standard forms for
532 If this value is less than or equal to 0 then no wrapping is done: lines
533 will break only at newline characters in the text.
534 .OP \-xscrollcommand xScrollCommand ScrollCommand
535 Specifies the prefix for a command used to communicate with horizontal
537 When the view in the widget's window changes (or
538 whenever anything else occurs that could change the display in a
539 scrollbar, such as a change in the total size of the widget's
540 contents), the widget will
541 generate a Tcl command by concatenating the scroll command and
543 Each of the numbers is a fraction between 0 and 1, which indicates
544 a position in the document. 0 indicates the beginning of the document,
545 1 indicates the end, .333 indicates a position one third the way through
546 the document, and so on.
547 The first fraction indicates the first information in the document
548 that is visible in the window, and the second fraction indicates
549 the information just after the last portion that is visible.
551 then passed to the Tcl interpreter for execution. Typically the
552 \fBxScrollCommand\fR option consists of the path name of a scrollbar
553 widget followed by ``set'', e.g. ``.x.scrollbar set'': this will cause
554 the scrollbar to be updated whenever the view in the window changes.
555 If this option is not specified, then no command will be executed.
556 .OP \-yscrollcommand yScrollCommand ScrollCommand
557 Specifies the prefix for a command used to communicate with vertical
558 scrollbars. This option is treated in the same way as the
559 \fBxScrollCommand\fR option, except that it is used for vertical
560 scrollbars and is provided by widgets that support vertical scrolling.
561 See the description of \fBxScrollCommand\fR for details
562 on how this option is used.
