<H2><A NAME="sect8" HREF="#toc8"><B>DESCRIPTION</B></A></H2>
The <B>mainwindow</B> command creates a mainwindow shell which contains
a menubar, toolbar, mousebar, childsite, status line,
and help line. Each item may be filled and configured to
suit individual needs.
<P>
<H2><A NAME="sect9" HREF="#toc9"><B>METHODS</B></A></H2>
The <B>mainwindow</B> command create a new Tcl command whose name
is <I>pathName</I>. This command may be used to invoke various
operations on the widget. It has the following general
form:
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <I>option</I> ?<I>arg</I> <I>arg</I> ...?
<P>
<I>Option</I> and the <I>arg</I>s determine the exact behavior of the command.
The following commands are possible for mainwindow
widgets:
<P>
<H2><A NAME="sect10" HREF="#toc10"><B>INHERITED</B> <B>METHODS</B></A></H2>
<B>activate</B> <B>center</B> <B>deactivate</B>
<P>
See the "shell" manual entry for details on the above inherited
methods.
<P>
<H2><A NAME="sect11" HREF="#toc11"><B>WIDGET-SPECIFIC</B> <B>METHODS</B></A></H2>
<I>pathName</I> <B>cget</B> <I>option</I><BR>
Returns the current value of the configuration option

accepted by the <B>mainwindow</B> command.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>childsite</B><BR>
Returns the pathname of the child site widget.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>configure</B> ?<I>option</I>? ?<I>value</I> <I>option</I> <I>value</I> ...?

widget. If no <I>option</I> is specified, returns a list
describing all of the available options for <I>pathName</I>
(see <B>Tk_ConfigureInfo</B> for information on the format of
this list). If <I>option</I> is specified with no <I>value</I>, 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 <I>option</I> is
specified). If one or more <I>option</I> - <I>value</I> 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. <I>Option</I> may have any
of the values accepted by the <B>mainwindow</B> command.
