DESCRIPTION
BrowseEntry is a poor man's ComboBox. It may be considered
an enhanced version of LabEntry which provides a button to
popup the choices of the possible values that the Entry
may take. BrowseEntry supports all the options LabEntry
supports except -textvariable. This is replaced by
-variable. Other options that BrowseEntry supports.
-listwidth
Specifies the width of the popup listbox.
-variable
Specifies the variable in which the entered value is
to be stored.
METHODS
insert(index, string)
Inserts the text of string at the specified index.
This string then becomes available as one of the
choices.
BUGS
BrowseEntry should really provide more of the ComboBox
options.
There should be a way to delete entries which have been
previously inserted.

This code was inspired by ComboBox.tcl in Tix4.0 by Ioi
Lam and bears more than a passing resemblance to ComboBox
code. This may be distributed under the same conditions as
Perl.
