# <a name='description'></a>DESCRIPTION

The __tcl::chan::textwindow__ package provides a command creating write\-only
channels connected to text widgets\. Anything written to the channel is printed
into the associated widget\.

The internal __[TclOO](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#tcloo)__ class implementing
the channel handler is a sub\-class of the
__[tcl::chan::events](\.\./virtchannel\_core/events\.md)__ framework\.

# <a name='section2'></a>API

  - <a name='1'></a>__::tcl::chan::textwindow__ *widget*

    This command creates a new textwindow channel and returns its handle\. Data
    written to this channel will appear in the associated *widget*\.

# <a name='section3'></a>Bugs, Ideas, Feedback
