associated with the \fBButton\fR tag, will no longer apply to \fB.b\fR,
but any bindings associated with \fBTrickyButton\fR (perhaps some
new button behavior) will apply.
+.SH EXAMPLE
+If you have a set of nested \fBframe\fR widgets and you want events
+sent to a \fBbutton\fR widget to also be delivered to all the widgets
+up to the current \fBtoplevel\fR (in contrast to Tk's default
+behavior, where events are not delivered to those intermediate
+windows) to make it easier to have accelerators that are only active
+for part of a window, you could use a helper procedure like this to
+help set things up:
+.CS
+proc setupBindtagsForTreeDelivery {widget} {
+ set tags [list $widget [winfo class $widget]]
+ set w $widget
+ set t [winfo toplevel $w]
+ while {$w ne $t} {
+ set w [winfo parent $w]
+ lappend tags $w
+ }
+ lappend tags all
+ bindtags $widget $tags
