Pad++ Reference Manual

Overview of Item Types


The sections below describe the various types of items supported by Pad++. Each item type is characterized by two things: first, the form of the command used to create instances of the type; and second, a set of itemconfiguration options for items of that type, which may be used in the create and itemconfigure widget commands. See the itemconfigure command for the syntax to use these options.

The available item types are:

Alias, Button, Canvas, Checkbox, Checkboxmenuitem, Choicemenu, Frame, Grid, Group, HTML, Image, KPL, Label, Line, Menu, Menubar, Menuitem, Oval, Pad, Panel, Polygon, Portal, Rectangle, Scrollbar, Spline, Tcl, Text, Textarea, Textfield, Textfile, and Window.

Several of the items are designed to mirror the functionality and usage of the standard widgets in Java's Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT). They are also accessible from Tcl along with all the other item types. These include:

Button, Canvas, Checkbox, Checkboxmenuitem, Choicemenu, Frame, Menu, Menubar, Menuitem, Panel, Scrollbar, Textarea, Textfield, and Window.
