DESCRIPTION
The tixLabelEntry command creates a new window (given by the
pathName argument) and makes it into a LabelEntry widget.
Additional options, described above, may be specified on the
command line or in the option database to configure aspects
of the LabelEntry such as its cursor and relief.
The LabelEntry widget packages an entry widget and a label
into one mega widget. It can be used be used to simplify the
creation of "entry-form" type of interface. In this kind of
interface, one must create many entry widgets with label
widgets next to them and describe the use of each of the
entry widgets.
WIDGET COMMANDS
The tixLabelEntry command creates a new Tcl command whose
name is the same as the path name of the LabelEntry'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 LabelEntry widget's path name. Option and the args
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following
commands are possible for LabelEntry 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 tixLabelEntry 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
