NAME

Tk::IDEdragShadowToplevel - Shadow Outline for Showing Drag Motion or Drop Targets

SYNOPSIS

    use Tk::IDEdragShadowToplevel;

    $TabbedFrame = $widget->IDEdragShadowToplevel
       (
        -geometry => "30x30+10+30", # Format widthxheight+x+y
        
       );

DESCRIPTION

This is a composite widget that implements a grey outline frame that can be used to show window shapes when dragging, or drop-target areas.

This differs from the releated Tk::IDEdragShadow widget in that it acts like a top-level widget. It can be dragged all around the desktop. Tk::IDEdragShadow is a subwidget of a Mainwindow/Toplevel and can't be moved/displayed outside of it's Mainwindow/Toplevel.

OPTIONS

geometry

Geometry of the outline frame, in the form widthxheight+x+y.

Advertised Subwidgets

top/bot/left/right

4 separate Tk::Toplevel components representing the top/bot/left/right element of the outline.
