Short answer: you can't. At tcl level, the name for the button contains  
the name of its parent, and you basically can't rename a button.

But, having no idea about what you call an "outlook bar" since I never  
used outlook in my whole life, another solution may exist, not requiring  
to "reparent" an existing widget. If you only describe exactly what you're  
trying to do, someone may be able to provide far better help.
