DESCRIPTION
The tixDirSelectDialog command creates a new window (given by the path‐
Name argument) and makes it into a DirSelectDialog widget. Additional
options, described above, may be specified on the command line or in
the option database to configure aspects of the DirSelectDialog such as
its cursor and relief.
The DirSelectDialog widget presents the directories in the file system
in a dialog window. The user can use this dialog window to navigate
through the file system to select the desired directory.
WIDGET COMMANDS
The tixDirSelectDialog command creates a new Tcl command whose name is
the same as the path name of the DirSelectDialog's window. This com‐
mand 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 DirSe‐
lectDialog widget's path name. Option and the args determine the exact
behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for DirSe‐
lectDialog 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
tixDirSelectDialog 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 tixDirSelectDialog command.
pathName popup
Pops up the DirSelectDialog widget 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 sub‐
widget will be called with these options.
