A silly widget

Usage

ttk::sizegrip pathName ?options?

Overview

A sizegrip widget (also known as a grow box) allows the user to resize the containing toplevel window by pressing and dragging the grip. -class -cursor -state -style -takefocus

Widget command

Sizegrip widgets support the standard cget, configure, instate, and state methods. No other widget methods are used.

Platform-specific notes

On Mac OSX, toplevel windows automatically include a built-in size grip by default. Adding an ttk::sizegrip there is harmless, since the built-in grip will just mask the widget.

Examples

# Using pack: pack [ttk::frame $top.statusbar] -side bottom -fill x pack [ttk::sizegrip $top.statusbar.grip] -side right -anchor se

# Using grid: grid [ttk::sizegrip $top.statusbar.grip] -row $lastRow -column $lastColumn -sticky se # ... optional: add vertical scrollbar in $lastColumn, # ... optional: add horizontal scrollbar in $lastRow

Releases

Unchanged in 2 releases since Debian 5.0 (Lenny).

  1. 5.0–6.0

Bugs

If the containing toplevel's position was specified relative to the right or bottom of the screen (e.g., [wm geometry ... wxh-x-y] instead of [wm geometry ... wxh+x+y]), the sizegrip widget will not resize the window.

ttk::sizegrip widgets only support "southeast" resizing.
