.SH NAME

tixMwm - Communicate with the Motif(tm) window manager.

'

'

'

.SH SYNOPSIS

.PP

\fBtixMwm\fI option \fIpathName ?args? \fR

.PP

.SH COMMAND OPTIONS

.PP

.TP

\fBtixMwm decoration \fIpathName\fR ?option? ?value? ?...?

'

When no options are given, this command returns the values of all the

decorations options for the toplevel window with the \fIpathName\fR.

When only one option is given without specifying the value, the

current value of that option is returned.

When more than one "option value" pairs are passed to this command,

the specified values will be assigned to the corresponding options. As

a result, the appearance of the Motif decorations around the toplevel

window will be changed.

Possible options are: \fB-border\fR, \fB-menu\fR, \fB-maximize\fR,

\fB-minimize\fR, \fB-resizeh\fR and \fB-title\fR. The value must be a

Boolean value. The values returned by this command are undefined when

the window is not managed by mwm.

'

'

.TP

\fBtixMwm ismwmrunning \fIpathName\fR

This returns true if mwm is running on the screen where the specified

window is located, false otherwise.

'

'

.TP

\fBtixMwm protocol \fIpathName

'

When no additional options are given, this command returns all

protocols associated with this toplevel window.

'

.TP

\fBtixMwm protocol \fIpathName \fBactivate\fI protocol_name\fR

'

Activate the mwm protocol message in mwm's menu.

'

.TP

\fBtixMwm protocol \fIpathName \fBadd\fI protocol_name menu_message\fR

'

Add a new mwm protocol message for this toplevel window. The

message is identified by the string name specified in

\fIprotocol_name\fR. A menu item will be added into mwm's menu as

specified by \fImenu_message\fR. Once a new mwm protocol message is

added to a toplevel, it can be catched by the TK \fBwm protocol\fR

command. Here is an example:

.nf

 tixMwm protocol . add MY_PRINT_HELLO \\

     {"Print Hello"  _H CtrlH}

 wm protocol . MY_PRINT_HELLO {puts Hello}

.fi

'

.TP

\fBtixMwm protocol \fIpathName \fBdeactivate\fI protocol_name\fR

'

Deactivate the mwm protocol message in mwm's menu.

'

.TP

\fBtixMwm protocol \fIpathName \fBdelete\fI protocol_name\fR

'

Delete the mwm protocol message from mwm's menu. Please note that the

window manager protocol handler associated with this protocol (by the

\fBwm protocol\fR command) is not deleted automatically. You have to

delete the protocol handle explicitly.  E.g.:

.nf

 tixMwm protocol . delete MY_PRINT_HELLO

 wm protocol . MY_PRINT_HELLO {}

.fi

'

.PP

.SH BUGS

'

On some versions of Mwm, the \fB-border\fR will not disappear unless

\fB-resizeh\fR is turned off. Also, the -title will not disappear

unless all of \fB-title\fR, \fB-menu\fR, \fB-maximize\fR and

\fB-minimize\fR are turned off.
