If set to false, the size of the ListNotebook will match the size of the
largest page. If set to true, the size of the ListNotebook will match the
size of the current page (therefore, the size may change when the user
selects different pages). The default value is false. A setting of true
is discouraged.

.SH DESCRIPTION
'
.PP
'
The \fBtixListNoteBook\fR command creates a new window (given by the
\fIpathName\fR argument) and makes it into a ListNoteBook widget.
Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command
line or in the option database to configure aspects of the
ListNoteBook widget such as its cursor and relief.
The ListNoteBook widget is very similar to the TixNoteBook widget: it
can be used to display many windows in a limited space using a
"notebook" metaphore. The notebook is divided into a stack of pages
(windows). At one time only one of these pages can be shown. The user
can navigate through these pages by choosing the name of the desired
page in the \fBhlist\fR subwidget.
'
'----------------------------------------------------------------------
.SH WIDGET COMMANDS
.PP
'
The \fBtixListNoteBook\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose name is
the same as the path name of the ListNoteBook widget's window. This
command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has
the following general form:
'
.DS C
'
\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
.PP
.DE
'
\fIPathName\fR is the name of the command, which is the same as the
ListNoteBook widget's path name. \fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands
are possible for ListNoteBook widgets:
'
'
.TP
'
\fIpathName \fBadd\fI pageName \fR?\fIoption value ...\fR?
'
Adds a new ListNotebook page subwidget into the ListNoteBook widget.
\fIpageName\fR must be the name of an existing entry of the
\fBhlist\fR subwidget. You must create the entry before calling the
\fBadd\fR command. Please refer to the \fBtixHList(n)\fR manual entry
for adding entries in an HList widget.
Additional parameters may be supplied to configure this page
subwidget. Possible options are:
'
.RS
.TP
\fB\-createcmd\fR
'
Specifies a TCL command to be called the first time a page is shown on
the screen. This option can be used to delay the creation of the
contents of a page until necessary. Therefore, it can be used to speed
up interface creation process especially when there are a large number
of pages in a ListNoteBook widget.
'
.TP
\fB\-raisecmd\fR
'
Specifies a TCL command to be called whenever this page is raised by
the user.
'
.RE
'
When successful, this command returns the pathname of the newly
created page.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR
'
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
\fIoption\fR.\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the
\fBtixListNoteBook\fR command.
'
.TP
'
\fIpathName \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? \fI?value option value ...\fR?
'
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no
\fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of the
available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for
information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified
with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the
one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding
sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified). If
one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified, then the command
modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in
this case the command returns an empty string. \fIOption\fR may have
any of the values accepted by the \fBtixListNoteBook\fR command.
'
'
.TP
\fIpathName \fBdelete\fI pageName\fR?
'
Deletes the page identified by \fIpageName\fR.
'
.TP
\fIpathName \fBpagecget\fR \fIpageName option\fR
'
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
\fIoption\fR in the page given by \fIpageName\fR. \fIOption\fR may
have any of the values accepted by the \fBadd\fR widget command.
'
'
.TP
\fIpathName \fBpageconfigure\fI pageName ?\fIoption\fR? \fI?value ...\fR?
'
'
When no option is given, prints out the values of all options of this
page. If \fIoption\fR is specified with no \fIvalue\fR, then the
command returns the current value of that option. If one or more
\fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified, then the command modifies the
given page's option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the
command returns an empty string. \fIOption\fR may be any of options
accepted by the \fBadd\fR widget command.
'
.TP
\fIpathName \fBpages\fR
'
Returns a list of the names of all the pages.
'
.TP
\fIpathName \fBraise \fIpageName\fR
'
Raise the page identified by \fIpageName\fR.
'
.TP
\fIpathName \fBraised\fR
'
Returns the name of the currently raised page.
'
.TP
\fIpathName \fBsubwidget \fI name ?args?\fR
'
When no options are given, this command returns the pathname of the
subwidget of the specified name.
When options are given, the widget command of the specified subwidget
will be called with these options.

.nf

.n subwidget hlist add page1 -text "Page 1"
.n subwidget hlist add page2 -text "Page 2"
set page1 [.n add page1]
set page2 [.n add page2]

.n raise page2
.fi
'----------------------------------------------------------------------
.SH BINDINGS
.PP
When the user activates an entry in the \fBhlist\fR subwidget, the
page associated with that entry will be raised to the front. This can
be done by using the mouse or keyboard. The \fIhlist\fR subwidget
operates with its \fB\-selectmode\fR option set to single. See the
event bindings of the HList widget for more details.
