[TCLCORE] Re: [Tkinter-discuss] Combining Tcl/Tck widgets with a Xll Graphics window

[Jeff E. <je...@un...>]

The "frame" widget has this option (from the tk manpage):
       Command-Line Name:-container
       Database Name:  container
       Database Class: Container

              The value must be a boolean.  If true, it means that this w=
indow
              will be used as a container in which some other application=
 will
              be embedded (for example, a Tk toplevel can  be  embedded  =
using
              the  -use option).  The window will support the appropriate=
 win=E2=80=90
              dow manager protocols for things like  geometry  requests. =
  The
              window  should not have any children of its own in this app=
lica=E2=80=90
              tion.  This option may not be changed with the configure  w=
idget
              command.

However, actually using this option seems to lead to focus-related headac=
hes.

Anyhow, here's a program that embeds an ImageMagick "display" into a Tk f=
rame:
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
import Tkinter, sys, os

t =3D Tkinter.Tk()
b =3D Tkinter.Button(text=3D"quit", command=3Dt.destroy)
f =3D Tkinter.Frame(container=3DTrue, width=3D300, height=3D300, bg=3D"")
f.pack(side=3D"top")
b.pack(side=3D"top")
os.spawnvp(os.P_NOWAIT, 'display', ['display',
    '-window', hex(f.winfo_id()),
    '-window_group', hex(f.winfo_id()), sys.argv[1]])
t.mainloop()
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
