The path name is used more often in Tk than the +short name; many commands, like \fBbind\fR, expect path names as +arguments. +.PP +The \fBTk_Name\fR macro returns a window's +short name, which is the same as the \fIname\fR argument +passed to \fBTk_CreateWindow\fR when +the window was created. The value is returned +as a Tk_Uid, which may be used just like a string pointer but also has +the properties of a unique identifier (see the manual entry for +\fBTk_GetUid\fR for details). +.PP +The \fBTk_PathName\fR macro returns a hierarchical name for \fItkwin\fR. +Path names have a structure similar to file names in Unix but with +dots between elements instead of slashes: the main window for +an application has the path name +.QW . ; +its children have names like +.QW .a +and +.QW .b ; +their children have names like +.QW .a.aa +and +.QW .b.bb ; +and so on. A window is considered to be a child of +another window for naming purposes if the second window was named +as the first window's \fIparent\fR when the first window was created. +This is not always the same as the X window hierarchy. For +example, a pop-up +is created as a child of the root window, but its logical parent will +usually be a window within the application. +.PP +The procedure \fBTk_NameToWindow\fR returns the token for a window +given its path name (the \fIpathName\fR argument) and another window +belonging to the same main window (\fItkwin\fR). It normally +returns a token for the named window, but if no such window exists +\fBTk_NameToWindow\fR leaves an error message in interpreter +\fIinterp\fR's result +and returns NULL. The \fItkwin\fR argument to \fBTk_NameToWindow\fR +is needed because path names are only unique within a single +application hierarchy. If, for example, a single process has opened +two main windows, each will have a separate naming hierarchy and the +same path name might appear in each of the hierarchies. Normally +\fItkwin\fR is the main window of the desired hierarchy, but this +need not be the case: any window in the desired hierarchy may be used. +.SH KEYWORDS +name, path name, token, window |
