DESCRIPTION

       The  selectiondialog command creates a selection box simi­
       lar to the OSF/Motif standard selection  dialog  composite
       widget.   The  selectiondialog  is derived from the Dialog
       class and is composed of a selectionbox with  commands  to
       manipulate the dialog buttons.


METHODS

       The  selectiondialog  command  creates  a  new Tcl command
       whose name is pathName.   This  command  may  be  used  to
       invoke  various operations on the widget.  It has the fol­
       lowing general form:

              pathName option ?arg arg ...?

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

WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS

       pathName cget option
              Returns the  current  value  of  the  configuration
              option given by option.  Option may have any of the
              values accepted by the selectiondialog 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 selectiondialog command.
