DESCRIPTION
The tixFileSelectDialog command creates a new window (given by the
pathName argument) and makes it into a FileSelectDialog 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.
WIDGET COMMANDS
The tixFileSelectDialog command creates a new Tcl command whose name is
the same as the path name of the FileSelectDialog’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
FileSelectDialog widget’s path name. Option and the args determine the
exact behavior of the command. The following 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 pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for
information on the format of this list). If option is specified
with no value, then the command returns a list describing the
one named option (this list will be identical 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 command.
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.
