<dt> <h3>Description</h3></dt><dd>
<p>
This class creates a megawidget contained within a Tkinter.Frame
window. The class acts as the base class for megawidgets that are
not contained in their own toplevel window, such as <a href="ButtonBox.html">Pmw.ButtonBox</a> and
<a href="ComboBox.html">Pmw.ComboBox</a>. It creates a Tkinter.Frame component, named <strong>hull</strong>,
to act as the container of the megawidget. The window class name
for the <strong>hull</strong> widget is set to the most-specific class name for
the megawidget. Derived classes specialise this class by
creating other widget components as children of the <strong>hull</strong> widget.</p>

In addition, methods from the

<strong>hull</strong> component.
