Lists
The lists are the listboxes just below the Command: entry.
By default, there are three lists:
- Procs is a list of all the Tcl
procedures in the target application.
- Globals is a list of the global
variables of the target application.
- Windows is a list of the windows
of the target application.
- Images is a list of the images
of the target application.
- Menus is a list of the menu widgets
of the target application.
- Canvases is a list of the
canvas widgets of the target application.
By default, only the Procs, Globals, and Windows
lists are shown. You can change this by adding
tkinspect_show_list and tkinspect_remove_list
commands to .tixinspect_init or by setting the option
*Tkinspect_main.default_lists.
Each list also has a menu in the menu bar. (The menu can also be
brought up by pressing button-3 in the list.) The menu
contains a set of standard operations, followed by list-specific
operations (if any are available.) The standard list operations are:
- Show a X.. brings up a dialog that prompts for the name
of a proc, global, or window and places the its value in the value window.
- Find X... brings up a dialog that searches the list.
- Edit Filter... brings up a dialog that allows editing of
the list filter. The list will only displays those items that
either match or don't match a set of patterns. (The default
list of patterns varies for each list type.)
- Update This List updates the contents of this list.
All the lists can be updated via the File/Update
Lists menu item.
- Remove This List removes this list from the tixinspect
window. A list can also be removed by deselecting its checkbox
in the File menu.
