Open Tcl/tk window in workspace two

[Vinx76]

Hi all
I'm developing a software compose by two separate window.
I would like to know if it's possible load one of those windows in a different workspace.
If it's possible please show me how.

Thank you all

By "workspace" do you mean on another platform?

Use the -screen option of the toplevel command.

From the manual:

-screen
Specifies the screen on which to place the new window. Any valid screen name may be used, even one associated with a different display. Defaults to the same screen as its parent. This option is special in that it may not be specified via the option database, and it may not be modified with the configure widget command.

More on:

For a use of this option dig in:

http://wiki.tcl.tk/wm

To have a look try:

  toplevel .t
  puts [.t cget -screen]

HTH

I've to specify the "valid screen name"!??!
How can i know the name of Virtual Desktop 2?

I hope that the above code will display that screen name when executed from a virtual desktop.

On UNIX should be 0.0, 0.1...

Should be in ::env(DISPLAY).
