DESCRIPTION

       The  tixFileSelectDialog  command  creates  a  new  window
       (given by the pathName argument) and makes it into a File­
       SelectDialog widget. Additional options, described  above,
       may  be  specified  on  the  command line or in the option
       database to configure aspects of the FileSelectDialog such
       as its cursor and relief.

       The  FileSelectDialog widget provides an convenient method
       for the user to select files. The FileSelectBox is similar
       to the standard Motif(TM) file-selection box.

       The  tixFileSelectDialog command creates a new Tcl command
       whose name is the same as the path name of the FileSelect­
       Dialog's  window. This command may be used to invoke vari­
       ous 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 FileSelectDialog widget's path name.  Option  and  the
       args determine the exact behavior of the command. The fol­
       lowing commands are possible for FileSelectDialog 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 tixFileSelectDialog 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 tixFileSelectDialog com­
              mand.

       pathName popdown
              Withdraws the FileSelectDialog from the screen.

       pathName popup
              Pops up the FileSelectDialog on the screen.

       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.
