DESCRIPTION
The tixLabelEntry command creates a new window (given by
the pathName argument) and makes it into a LabelEntry wid
get. 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 win
dow. 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 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 tixLabelEntry command.
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.
