Description

Options

Options for this megawidget and its base classes are described below.

activatecommand

If this is callable, it will be called whenever the megawidget is activated by a call to activate(). The default is None.

borderx

Initialisation option. The default is 10.

bordery

Initialisation option. The default is 10.

buttonboxpos

Initialisation option. Specifies on which side of the dialog window to place the button box. Must be one of 'n', 's', 'e' or 'w'. The default is 's'.

buttons

This must be a tuple or a list and specifies the names on the buttons in the button box. The default is ('OK',). The default is (OK,).

command

Specifies a function to call whenever a button in the button box is invoked or the window is deleted by the window manager. The function is called with a single argument, which is the name of the button which was invoked, or None if the window was deleted by the window manager.

If the value of command is not callable, the default behaviour is to deactivate the window if it is active, or withdraw the window if it is not active. If it is deactivated, deactivate() is called with the button name or None as described above. The default is None.

defaultbutton

Specifies the default button in the button box. If None, there will be no default button. The default is None.

separatorwidth

Initialisation option. If this is greater than 0, a separator line with the specified width will be created between the button box and the child site, as a component named separator. Since the default border of the button box and child site is raised, this option does not usually need to be set for there to be a visual separation between the button box and child site. The default is 0.

title

This is the title that the window manager displays in the title bar of the window. The default is None.
