DESCRIPTION

       The labeledframe command  creates  a  hull  frame  with  a
       grooved  relief,  a  label  positioned  within the grooved
       relief of the hull frame,  and  a  frame  childsite.   The
       frame  childsite  can filled with any widget via a derived
       class or though the use of  the  childsite  method.   This
       class  was designed to be a general purpose base class for
       supporting the combination of labeled frame and  a  child­
       site.   The  options  include  the ability to position the
       label at configurable locations within the grooved  relief
       of the hull frame, and control the display of the label.

       The  labeledframe  command creates a new Tcl command whose
       name is pathName.  This command may be used to invoke var­
       ious  operations on the widget.  It has the following gen­
       eral form:

              pathName option ?arg arg ...?

       Option and the args determine the exact  behavior  of  the
       command.  The following commands are possible for labeled­
       frame widgets:


WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS

       pathName childsite
              Return the path name of the child site.

       pathName cget option
              Returns the  current  value  of  the  configuration
              option given by option.  Option may have any of the
              values accepted by the labeledframe 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  path­
              Name  (see  Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the
              format of this list).  If option is specified  with
              no  value, then the command returns a list describ­
              ing the one named option (this list will be identi­
              cal  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 labeledframe command.


COMPONENTS

       Name:           label
       Class:          label

              The  label  component  provides  the  label for the
              labeled widget.   See  the  "label"  widget  manual
              entry for details on the label component item.


EXAMPLE

              The  labeledframe  was primarily meant to be a base
              class.  The Radiobox is a good example of a derived
              classe of the labeledframe class.  In order to pro­
              vide  equal  support  for  composite  classes,  the
              'childsite'  methods also exists.  The following is


               labeledframe .lw -labeltext "Entry Frame" -labelpos n
               pack .lw -fill both -expand yes -padx 10 -pady 10
               set cs [.lw childsite]

               pack [Entryfield $cs.entry1 -labeltext "Name:"] -side top -fill x
               pack [Spinint $cs.entry2 -labeltext "Number:"] -side top -fill x
               pack [Pushbutton $cs.entry3 -text "Details:"] -side top -fill x
