INHERITANCE
itk::Archetype <- itk::Toplevel
STANDARD OPTIONS

See the "options" manual entry for details on the standard options.
WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

Command-Line Switch: -title

_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
The Toplevel class inherits everything from the Archetype class, and
adds a Tk toplevel called the "hull" component to represent the body of
the mega-widget. The window class name for the hull is set to the
most-specific class name for the mega-widget. The protected variable
itk_interior contains the window path name for the "hull" component.
Derived classes specialize this widget by packing other widget compo‐
nents into the hull.
Since the hull for the Toplevel class is implemented with a Tk
toplevel, mega-widgets in the Toplevel class have their own toplevel
window. This class is used to create dialog boxes and other pop-up
windows.
COMPONENTS
Name: hull
Class: Toplevel
The "hull" component acts as the body for the entire mega-wid‐
get. Other components are packed into the hull to further spe‐
cialize the widget.
EXAMPLE
The following example implements a MessageInfo mega-widget. It creates
a pop-up message that the user can dismiss by pushing the "Dismiss"
button.

itcl::class MessageInfo {
inherit itk::Toplevel
