DESCRIPTION

The tixStdButtonBox command creates a new window (given by the_pathName_ argument) and makes it into a StdButtonBox widget. Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command line or in the option database to configure aspects of the StdButtonBox such as its cursor and relief.

The StdButtonBox widget is a group of Standard buttons for Motif-like dialog boxes.

The tixStdButtonBox command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the same as the path name of the StdButtonBox'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 StdButtonBox widget's path name. Option and the _arg_s determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for StdButtonBox widgets:

pathName cget option

Returns the current value of the configuration option given by_option_. Option may have any of the values accepted by thetixStdButtonBox 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 tixStdButtonBox 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

TixStdButtonBox widgets have no default bindings. The button subwidgets retain their default Tk bindings.
