The \fIclass\fR string identifies the type of the +window; all windows with the same general class of behavior +(button, menu, etc.) should have the same class. By +convention all class names start with a capital letter, and +there exists a Tcl command with the same name as +each class (except all in lower-case) which can be used to +create and manipulate windows of that class. +A window's class string is initialized to NULL +when the window is created. +.PP +For main windows, Tk automatically propagates the name and class +to the WM_CLASS property used by window managers. This happens +either when a main window is actually created (e.g. in +\fBTk_MakeWindowExist\fR), or when \fBTk_SetClass\fR +is called, whichever occurs later. If a main window has not been +assigned a class then Tk will not set the WM_CLASS property for +the window. +.PP +\fBTk_Class\fR is a macro that returns the +current value of \fItkwin\fR's class. 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). +If \fItkwin\fR has not yet been given a class, then +\fBTk_Class\fR will return NULL. +.SH KEYWORDS +class, unique identifier, window, window manager |
