NAME

       Tk::Toplevel - Create and manipulate Toplevel widgets


SYNOPSIS

           $toplevel = $parent->Toplevel(?options?);


STANDARD OPTIONS

       -borderwidth   -highlightbackground     -highlightthickness -takefocus
       -class    -highlightcolor     -relief -cursor

       See Tk::options for details of the standard options.


WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

       Name:     background
       Class:    Background
       Switch:   -background
           This option is the same as the standard background option except
           that its value may also be specified as an undefined value.  In
           this case, the widget will display no background or border, and no
           colors will be consumed from its colormap for its background and
           border.

       Name:     colormap
       Class:    Colormap
       Switch:   -colormap
           Specifies a colormap to use for the window.  The value may be
           either new, in which case a new colormap is created for the window
           and its children, or the name of another window (which must be on
           the same screen and have the same visual as $widget), in which case
           the new window will use the colormap from the specified window.  If
           the colormap option is not specified, the new window uses the
           default colormap of its screen.  This option may not be changed
           with the configure method.

       Name:     container
       Class:    Container
       Switch:   -container
           The value must be a boolean.  If true, it means that this window
           will be used as a container in which some other application will be
           embedded (for example, a Tk toplevel can be embedded using the -use
           option).  The window will support the appropriate window manager
           protocols for things like geometry requests.  The window should not
           have any children of its own in this application.  This option may
           not be changed with the configure method.

       Name:     height
       Class:    Height
       Switch:   -height
           Specifies the desired height for the window in any of the forms
           acceptable to Tk_GetPixels.  If this option is less than or equal
           to zero then the window will not request any size at all.

       Name:     menu
       Class:    Menu
       Switch:   -menu
           Specifies a menu widget to be used as a menubar. On the Macintosh,
           the menubar will be displayed accross the top of the main monitor.
           On Microsoft Windows and all UNIX platforms, the menu will appear
           accross the toplevel window as part of the window dressing
           maintained by the window manager.

       Name:     ""
       Class:    ""
       Switch:   -screen
           Specifies the screen on which to place the new window.  Any valid
           screen name may be used, even one associated with a different
           display.  Defaults to the same screen as its parent.  This option
           is special in that it may not be specified via the option database,
           and it may not be modified with the configure method.

       Switch:   -title
           Specifies the title of the toplevel window.

       Name:     use
       Class:    Use
       Switch:   -use
           This option is used for embedding. If the value isn't an empty
           string, it must be the the window identifier of a container window,
           specified as a hexadecimal string like the ones returned by the
           winfo id command. The toplevel widget will be created as a child of
           the given container instead of the root window for the screen.  If
           the container window is in a Tk application, it must be a frame or
           toplevel widget for which the -container option was specified.
           This option may not be changed with the configure method.

       Name:     visual
       Class:    Visual
       Switch:   -visual
           Specifies visual information for the new window in any of the forms
           accepted by Tk_GetVisual.  If this option is not specified, the new
           window will use the default visual for its screen.  The visual
           option may not be modified with the configure method.

       Name:     width
       Class:    Width
       Switch:   -width
           Specifies the desired width for the window in any of the forms
           acceptable to Tk_GetPixels.  If this option is less than or equal
           to zero then the window will not request any size at all.


DESCRIPTION

       The Toplevel method creates a new toplevel widget (given by the $widget
       argument).  Additional options, described above, may be specified on
       the command line or in the option database to configure aspects of the
       toplevel such as its background color and relief.  The toplevel command
       returns the path name of the new window.

       A toplevel is similar to a frame except that it is created as a top-
       level window:  its X parent is the root window of a screen rather than
       the logical parent from its path name.  The primary purpose of a
       toplevel is to serve as a container for dialog boxes and other
       collections of widgets.  The only visible features of a toplevel are
       its background color and an optional 3-D border to make the toplevel
       appear raised or sunken.


WIDGET METHODS

       The Toplevel method creates a widget object.  This object supports the
       configure and cget methods described in Tk::options which can be used
       to enquire and modify the options described above.  The widget also
       inherits all the methods provided by the generic Tk::Widget class, and
       the Tk::Wm class.


BINDINGS

       When a new toplevel is created, it has no default event bindings:
       toplevels are not intended to be interactive.
