_________________________________________________________________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 specified 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 ScrolledText widget'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 Scrolled‐
Text widget's path name. Option and the args determine the exact
behavior of the command. The following 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 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 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.
