STANDARD OPTIONS

       The  ListNoteBook  widget supports all the standard options of a frame widget.  See the options(n) manual
       entry for details on the standard options.

WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

       [-dynamicgeometry dynamicGeometry] If set to false, the size of the ListNotebook will match the  size  of
       the  largest  page.  If set to true, the size of the ListNotebook will match the size of the current page
       (therefore, the size may change when the user selects different pages). The default  value  is  false.  A
       setting  of  true  is  discouraged.  [-ipadx ipadX] The amount of internal horizontal paddings around the
       sides of the page subwidgets.  [-ipady ipadY] The amount of internal vertical paddings around  the  sides
       of the page subwidgets.

SUBWIDGETS

       Name:          hlist
       Class:         TixHList

              The HList widget that displays the names of the pages.

       In  addition,  all  the  page  subwidgets  created  as a result of the add command can be accessed by the
       subwidget command. They are identified by the pageName parameter to the add command.

DESCRIPTION

       The tixListNoteBook command creates a new window (given by the pathName argument) and  makes  it  into  a
       ListNoteBook widget.  Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command line or in the
       option database to configure aspects of the ListNoteBook widget such as its cursor and relief.

       The ListNoteBook widget is very similar to the TixNoteBook widget: it can be used to display many windows
       in a limited space using a "notebook" metaphore. The notebook is divided into a stack of pages (windows).
       At  one  time only one of these pages can be shown. The user can navigate through these pages by choosing
       the name of the desired page in the hlist subwidget.

WIDGET COMMANDS

       The tixListNoteBook command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the same as  the  path  name  of  the
       ListNoteBook  widget's  window.   This command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It
       has the following general form:
              pathName option ?arg arg ...?
       PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as the ListNoteBook widget's path name. Option and
       the args determine  the  exact  behavior  of  the  command.  The  following  commands  are  possible  for
       ListNoteBook widgets:

       pathName add pageName ?option value ...?
              Adds a new ListNotebook page subwidget into the ListNoteBook widget.  pageName must be the name of
              an  existing  entry  of  the  hlist  subwidget.  You  must create the entry before calling the add
              command. Please refer to the tixHList(n) manual entry for  adding  entries  in  an  HList  widget.
              Additional parameters may be supplied to configure this page subwidget. Possible options are:

              -createcmd
                     Specifies  a  TCL  command  to be called the first time a page is shown on the screen. This
                     option can be used to delay the creation  of  the  contents  of  a  page  until  necessary.
                     Therefore,  it can be used to speed up interface creation process especially when there are
                     a large number of pages in a ListNoteBook widget.

              -raisecmd
                     Specifies a TCL command to be called whenever this page is raised by the user.
       When successful, this command returns the pathname of the newly created page.

       pathName cget option
              Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option.Option may have any  of  the
              values accepted by the tixListNoteBook command.

       pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
              Query  or  modify  the  configuration options of the widget.  If no option is specified, returns a
              list describing all of the available options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on
              the format of this list). If option is specified with no value, then the command  returns  a  list
              describing  the  one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the
              value returned if no option is specified).  If one or more option-value pairs are specified,  then
              the  command  modifies  the  given  widget  option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the
              command  returns  an  empty  string.   Option  may  have  any  of  the  values  accepted  by   the
              tixListNoteBook command.

       pathName delete pageName?
              Deletes the page identified by pageName.

       pathName pagecget pageName option
              Returns  the  current  value  of  the  configuration  option  given by option in the page given by
              pageName. Option may have any of the values accepted by the add widget command.

       pathName pageconfigure pageName ?option? ?value ...?
              When no option is given, prints out the values of all options of this page. If option is specified
              with no value, then the command returns  the  current  value  of  that  option.  If  one  or  more
              option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given page's option(s) to have the
              given  value(s);  in  this  case the command returns an empty string. Option may be any of options
              accepted by the add widget command.

       pathName pages
              Returns a list of the names of all the pages.

       pathName raise pageName
              Raise the page identified by pageName.

       pathName raised
              Returns the name of the currently raised page.

       pathName subwidget  name ?args?
              When no options are given, this command returns the pathname of the  subwidget  of  the  specified
              name.

              When  options  are  given, the widget command of the specified subwidget will be called with these
              options.

EXAMPLE

       set n [tixListNoteBook .n]; pack $n $n subwidget hlist add page1 -text "Page 1" $n  subwidget  hlist  add
       page2 -text "Page 2"

       set page1 [$n add page1] set page2 [$n add page2]

       button $page1.b -text "On page1" button $page2.b -text "On page2"

       pack $page1.b pack $page2.b

       $n raise page2

BINDINGS

       When  the  user  activates  an  entry in the hlist subwidget, the page associated with that entry will be
       raised to the front.  This can be done by using the mouse or keyboard. The hlist subwidget operates  with
       its -selectmode option set to single. See the event bindings of the HList widget for more details.
