SYNOPSIS

destroy ?window window ...?




DESCRIPTION

This command deletes the windows given by the window arguments, plus all of their descendants. If a window ``.'' is deleted then the entire application will be destroyed.

proc killCheckbuttonChildren {parent} {
   foreach w [winfo children $parent] {
      if {[winfo class $w] eq "Checkbutton"} {

      }
   }
}
