tk minimize event

[blueberryCoffee]

I want to know when a user minimizes my tk app so I can put a small status indicator in the corner.

I have looked in tk::widgets, tk::wm, tk::bind, and tk::toplevel docs and found nothing about events like this (minimize, maximize). I also searched the perl directory for any mention of the word "minimize". Am I looking for the wrong word? How can I set callbacks for these events?

Thanks

Thanks, found it on perltk.org

For anyone else who wishes to know. The tags to bind are 'Configure', 'Map', and 'Unmap'.

The Configure event is fired any time you move or resize the window (this includes maximizing). The Map event happens when you un-minimize a window, and Unmap happens when you minimize the window.

An example:

use Tk;
my $app =  new MainWindow;
$app->bind('<Configure>', sub{ print "configure"; });
$app->bind('<Unmap>', sub{ print "Unmap"; });
$app->bind('<Map>', sub{ print "Map"; });
MainLoop;
