DESCRIPTION
The tixLabelEntry command creates a new window (given by the pathName
argument) and makes it into a LabelEntry widget. Additional options,
described above, may be specified on the command line or in the option
database to configure aspects of the LabelEntry such as its cursor and
relief.
The LabelEntry widget packages an entry widget and a label into one
mega widget. It can be used be used to simplify the creation of "entry-
form" type of interface. In this kind of interface, one must create
many entry widgets with label widgets next to them and describe the use
of each of the entry widgets.
WIDGET COMMANDS
The tixLabelEntry command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the
same as the path name of the LabelEntry’s window. This command may be
used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following
general form:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as the
LabelEntry widget’s path name. Option and the args determine the exact
behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for
LabelEntry widgets:
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the
tixLabelEntry command.
pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no
option is specified, returns a list describing all of the
available options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for
information on the format of this list). If option is specified
with no value, then the command returns a list describing the
one named option (this list will be identical to the
corresponding sublist of the value returned if no option is
specified). If one or more option-value pairs are specified,
then the command modifies the given widget option(s) to have the
given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty
string. Option may have any of the values accepted by the
tixLabelEntry command.
pathName subwidget name ?args?
When no options are given, this command returns the pathname of
the subwidget of the specified name.
When options are given, the widget command of the specified
subwidget will be called with these options.
