The desired size for a top-level window is conveyed using +the usual \fBTk_GeometryRequest\fR mechanism. The procedure +\fBTk_MoveToplevelWindow\fR may be used by an application to request +a particular position for a top-level window; this procedure is +similar in function to the \fBwm geometry\fR Tcl command except that +negative offsets cannot be specified. It is invoked by widgets such as +menus that want to appear at a particular place on the screen. +.PP +When \fBTk_MoveToplevelWindow\fR is called it doesn't immediately +pass on the new desired location to the window manager; it defers +this action until all other outstanding work has been completed, +using the \fBTk_DoWhenIdle\fR mechanism. + +.SH KEYWORDS +position, top-level window, window manager |
