.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
\fBTk_Main\fR acts as the main program for most Tk-based applications.
|
||
|
|
Starting with Tk 4.0 it is not called \fBmain\fR anymore because it
|
||
|
|
is part of the Tk library and having a function \fBmain\fR
|
||
|
|
in a library (particularly a shared library) causes problems on many
|
||
|
|
systems.
|
||
|
|
Having \fBmain\fR in the Tk library would also make it hard to use
|
||
|
|
Tk in C++ programs, since C++ programs must have special C++
|
||
|
|
\fBmain\fR functions.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Normally each application contains a small \fBmain\fR function that does
|
||
|
|
nothing but invoke \fBTk_Main\fR.
|
||
|
|
\fBTk_Main\fR then does all the work of creating and running a
|
||
|
|
\fBwish\fR-like application.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
When it is has finished its own initialization, but before
|
||
|
|
it processes commands, \fBTk_Main\fR calls the procedure given by
|
||
|
|
the \fIappInitProc\fR argument. This procedure provides a ``hook''
|
||
|
|
for the application to perform its own initialization, such as defining
|
||
|
|
application-specific commands. The procedure must have an interface
|
||
|
|
that matches the type \fBTcl_AppInitProc\fR:
|
||
|
|
.CS
|
||
|
|
typedef int Tcl_AppInitProc(Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR);
|
||
|
|
.CE
|
||
|
|
\fIAppInitProc\fR is almost always a pointer to \fBTcl_AppInit\fR;
|
||
|
|
for more details on this procedure, see the documentation
|
||
|
|
for \fBTcl_AppInit\fR.
