.SH SYNOPSIS

\fBbindtags \fIwindow \fR?\fItagList\fR?

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
21 |
|
|
.PP
|
22 |
|
|
When a binding is created with the \fBbind\fR command, it is
|
23 |
|
|
associated either with a particular window such as \fB.a.b.c\fR,
|
24 |
|
|
a class name such as \fBButton\fR, the keyword \fBall\fR, or any
|
25 |
|
|
other string.
|
26 |
|
|
All of these forms are called \fIbinding tags\fR.
|
27 |
|
|
Each window contains a list of binding tags that determine how
|
28 |
|
|
events are processed for the window.
|
29 |
|
|
When an event occurs in a window, it is applied to each of the
|
30 |
|
|
window's tags in order: for each tag, the most specific binding
|
31 |
|
|
that matches the given tag and event is executed.
|
32 |
|
|
See the \fBbind\fR command for more information on the matching
|
33 |
|
|
process.
|
34 |
|
|
.PP
|
35 |
|
|
By default, each window has four binding tags consisting of the
|
36 |
|
|
name of the window, the window's class name, the name of the window's
|
37 |
|
|
nearest toplevel ancestor, and \fBall\fR, in that order.
|
38 |
|
|
Toplevel windows have only three tags by default, since the toplevel
|
39 |
|
|
name is the same as that of the window.
|
40 |
|
|
The \fBbindtags\fR command allows the binding tags for a window to be
|
41 |
|
|
read and modified.
|
42 |
|
|
.PP
|
43 |
|
|
If \fBbindtags\fR is invoked with only one argument, then the
|
44 |
|
|
current set of binding tags for \fIwindow\fR is returned as a list.
|
45 |
|
|
If the \fItagList\fR argument is specified to \fBbindtags\fR,
|
46 |
|
|
then it must be a proper list; the tags for \fIwindow\fR are changed
|
47 |
|
|
to the elements of the list.
|
48 |
|
|
The elements of \fItagList\fR may be arbitrary strings; however,
|
49 |
|
|
any tag starting with a dot is treated as the name of a window; if
|
50 |
|
|
no window by that name exists at the time an event is processed,
|
51 |
|
|
then the tag is ignored for that event.
|
52 |
|
|
The order of the elements in \fItagList\fR determines the order in
|
53 |
|
|
which binding scripts are executed in response to events.
|
54 |
|
|
For example, the command
|
55 |
|
|
.CS
|
56 |
|
|
\fBbindtags .b {all . Button .b}\fR
|
57 |
|
|
.CE
|
58 |
|
|
reverses the order in which binding scripts will be evaluated for
|
59 |
|
|
a button named \fB.b\fR so that \fBall\fR bindings are invoked
|
60 |
|
|
first, following by bindings for \fB.b\fR's toplevel (``.''), followed by
|
61 |
|
|
class bindings, followed by bindings for \fB.b\fR.
|
62 |
|
|
If \fItagList\fR is an empty list then the binding tags for \fIwindow\fR
|
63 |
|
|
are returned to the default state described above.
|
64 |
|
|
.PP
|
65 |
|
|
The \fBbindtags\fR command may be used to introduce arbitrary
|
66 |
|
|
additional binding tags for a window, or to remove standard tags.
|
67 |
|
|
For example, the command
|
68 |
|
|
.CS
|
69 |
|
|
\fBbindtags .b {.b TrickyButton . all}\fR
|
70 |
|
|
.CE
|
71 |
|
|
replaces the \fBButton\fR tag for \fB.b\fR with \fBTrickyButton\fR.
|
72 |
|
|
This means that the default widget bindings for buttons, which are
|
73 |
|
|
associated with the \fBButton\fR tag, will no longer apply to \fB.b\fR,
|
74 |
|
|
but any bindings associated with \fBTrickyButton\fR (perhaps some
|
75 |
|
|
new button behavior) will apply.
