An example:
# widget example to be launched by wish package require Tk lappend auto_path . package require xowidget xowidget::XOWidget Button # options Button option -fontfamily -default "" -configurecmd fontfamily Button setadaptor existing Button instproc init {} { my instvar hull $hull configure -text "Click me" } Button instproc fontfamily {opt value} { my instvar hull set font [$hull cget -font] lset font 0 $value $hull configure -font $font my rawconfigure $opt $value } proc try {firstname name} { global btn tk_messageBox -message "Have you ever tried to look like $firstname $name?" destroy $btn button $btn Button $btn -text "Exit" -command exit pack $btn update } # 'Button' arguments are treated after creation # by calling automatically the configure method button .btn set btn [Button .btn -fontfamily times -text "Top Cool Language" -command {try Freddie Mercury}] # comment this when you've got a toplevel hulltype, of course pack .btn update tk_messageBox -message "option list : [$btn configure]"
The example is adapted from Xoins, a Snit emulation in XOTcl.
