| .nf |
| Name: \fBheight\fR |
| Class: \fBHeight\fR |
| Command-Line Switch: \fB-height\fR |
| .fi |
| .IP |
| Specifies the height of the shell. The value may be specified in |
| any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. A value of zero |
| causes the height to be adjusted to the required value based on |
| the size requests of the components placed in the childsite. |
| Otherwise, the height is fixed. The default is zero. NOTE: This |
| may cause some amount of flickering on slower machines. To prevent it |
| simply set the width and height to a appropriate value. |
| .LP |
| .nf |
| Name: \fBmaster\fR |
| Class: \fBWindow\fR |
| Command-Line Switch: \fB-master\fR |
| .fi |
| .IP |
| Defines the shell as being a transient window with the master window |
| given by the master option. The master window should be either another |
| existing toplevel window or {} for no master. The default is {} for |
| shells and "." for dialogs. |
| .LP |
| .nf |
| Name: \fBmodality\fR |
| Class: \fBModality\fR |
| Command-Line Switch: \fB-modality\fR |
| .fi |
| .IP |
| Allows the shell to grab control of the screen in one of three different ways: |
| \fBapplication\fR, \fBsystem\fR, or \fBnone\fR. |
| Application modal prevents any other toplevel windows within the application |
| which are direct children of '.' from gaining focus. System modal locks |
| the screen and prevents all windows from gaining focus regardless of |
| application. A modality of none performs no grabs at all. The default |
| is none. |
| .LP |
| .nf |
| Name: \fBpadX\fR |
| Class: \fBPad\fR |
| Command-Line Switch: \fB-padx\fR |
| .fi |

| Specifies a padding distance for the childsite in the X-direction in |
| any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. The default is 10. |
| .LP |
| .nf |
| Name: \fBpadY\fR |
| Class: \fBPad\fR |
| Command-Line Switch: \fB-pady\fR |
| .fi |
| .IP |
| Specifies a padding distance for the childsite in the Y-direction in |

| .LP |
| .nf |
| Name: \fBwidth\fR |
| Class: \fBWidth\fR |
| Command-Line Switch: \fB-width\fR |
| .fi |
| .IP |
| Specifies the width of the shell. The value may be specified in |
| any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. A value of zero |
| causes the width to be adjusted to the required value based on |
| the size requests of the components placed in the childsite. |
| Otherwise, the width is fixed. The default is zero. NOTE: This |
| may cause some amount of flickering on slower machines. To prevent it |
| simply set the width and height to a appropriate value. |

| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .PP |
| The \fBiwidgets::shell\fR command creates a shell which is a top |
| level widget which supports modal operation. |
| |
| .SH "METHODS" |
| .PP |
| The \fBiwidgets::shell\fR command create a new Tcl command whose |
| name is \fIpathName\fR. 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? |
| .DE |
| \fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs |
| determine the exact behavior of the command. The following |
| commands are possible for shell widgets: |
| .SH "WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS" |
| .TP |
| \fIpathName \fBactivate\fR |
| Display the shell and wait based on the modality. For application |
| and system modal activations, perform a grab operation, and wait |
| for the result. The result may be returned via an argument to the |
| \fBdeactivate\fR method. |
| .TP |
| \fIpathName \fBcenter\fR \fI?widget?\fR |
| Centers the shell with respect to another widget. The widget argument |
| is optional. If provided, it should be the path of another widget with |
| to center upon. If absent, then the shell will be centered on the screen |
| as a whole. |
| .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 \fBiwidgets::shell\fR |
| command. |
| .TP |
| \fIpathName \fBchildsite\fR |
| Returns the pathname of the child site widget. |
| .TP |
| \fIpathName\fR \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue 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 \fBiwidgets::shell\fR |
| command. |
| .TP |
| \fIpathName \fBdeactivate\fR ?\fIarg\fR? |
| Deactivate the display of the shell. The method takes an optional |
| argument to be passed to the \fBactivate\fR method which returns the value. |
| The optional argument is only effective for application and system |
| modal dialogs. |
| |
