NAME

Tk_AddOption — Add an option to the option database

SYNOPSIS

#include <tk.h>
void
Tk_AddOption(tkwin, name, value, priority)
Tcl_Obj *
Tk_GetSystemDefault(tkwin, dbName, className)

ARGUMENTS

Tk_Window tkwin (in)
Token for window.

const char *name (in)
Multi-element name of option.

const char *value (in)
Value of option.

const char *dbName (in)
The option database name.

const char *className (in)
The name of the option class.

int priority (in)

DESCRIPTION

Tk_AddOption is invoked to add an option to the database associated with tkwin's main window. Name contains the option being specified and consists of names and/or classes separated by asterisks or dots, in the usual X format. Value contains the text string to associate with name; this value will be returned in calls to Tk_GetOption. Priority specifies the priority of the value; when options are queried using Tk_GetOption, the value with the highest priority is returned. Priority must be between 0 and TK_MAX_PRIO (100). Some common priority values are:

    TK_WIDGET_DEFAULT_PRIO (20)
    Used for default values hard-coded into widgets.

    TK_STARTUP_FILE_PRIO (40)
    Used for options specified in application-specific startup files.

    TK_USER_DEFAULT_PRIO (60)
    Used for options specified in user-specific defaults files, such as .Xdefaults, resource databases loaded into the X server, or user-specific startup files.

    TK_INTERACTIVE_PRIO (80)
    Used for options specified interactively after the application starts running.

Tk_GetSystemDefault returns a Tcl_Obj* with the string identifying a configuration option matching the given dbname and className. Returns NULL if there are no system defaults that match this pair.
