DESCRIPTION
The tixButtonBox command creates a new window (given by the pathName
argument) and makes it into a ButtonBox widget. Additional options,
described above, may be specified on the command line or in the option
database to configure aspects of the ButtonBox such as its cursor and
relief.
The ButtonBox widget can be used as a container widget to hold the
``action'' buttons in a dialog box.
WIDGET COMMAND
The tixButtonBox command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the
same as the path name of the ButtonBox'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 ButtonBox
widget's path name. Option and the args determine the exact behavior
of the command. The following commands are possible for ButtonBox wid‐
gets:
pathName add buttonName ?option value ...?
Add a new button subwidget with the name buttonName into the
ButtonBox widget. Additional configuration options can be given
to configure the new button subwidget.
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the
tixButtonBox 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 avail‐
able 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 tixButtonBox command.
pathName invoke buttonName
Invoke the button subwidget with the name buttonName.
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.
BINDINGS
TixButtonBox widgets have no default bindings. The button subwidgets
retain their default Tk bindings.
