DESCRIPTION

A main window is a special kind of toplevel window used as the outermost window in an application.

If interp is associated with a Tk application then Tk_MainWindow returns the application's main window. If there is no Tk application associated with interp then Tk_MainWindow returns NULL and leaves an error message in interpreter interp's result.

Tk_GetNumMainWindows returns a count of the number of main windows currently open in the current thread. Tk_SetMainMenubar Called when a toplevel widget is brought to front. On the Macintosh, sets up the menubar that goes across the top of the main monitor. On other platforms, nothing is necessary. Tk_SetWindowMenubar associates a menu with a window. The old menu clones for the menubar are thrown away, and a handler is set up to allocate the new ones.
