DESCRIPTION
The tixScrolledText command creates a new window (given by
the pathName argument) and makes it into a ScrolledText
widget. Additional options, described above, may be spec
ified on the command line or in the option database to
configure aspects of the ScrolledText widget such as its
cursor and relief.
WIDGET COMMANDS
The tixScrolledText command creates a new Tcl command
whose name is the same as the path name of the Scrolled
Text widget'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 ScrolledText widget's path name. Option and the args
determine the exact behavior of the command. The follow
ing commands are possible for ScrolledText 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 tixScrolledText 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
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 tixScrolledText command.
pathName subwidget name ?args?
When no additional arguments are given, returns the
pathname of the subwidget of the specified name.
When no additional arguments are given, the widget
command of the specified subwidget will be called
with these parameters.
