DESCRIPTION
The tixFileSelectDialog command creates a new window (given by the
pathName argument) and makes it into a FileSelectDialog widget. Addi‐
tional options, described above, may be specified on the command line
or in the option database to configure aspects of the FileSelectDialog
such as its cursor and relief.
The FileSelectDialog widget provides an convenient method for the user
to select files. The FileSelectBox is similar to the standard Motif(TM)
file-selection box.
WIDGET COMMANDS
The tixFileSelectDialog command creates a new Tcl command whose name is
the same as the path name of the FileSelectDialog'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 FileSe‐
lectDialog widget's path name. Option and the args determine the exact
behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for FileS‐
electDialog 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 tix‐
FileSelectDialog 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 tixFileSelectDialog command.
pathName popdown

pathName popup

pathName subwidget name ?args?

the subwidget of the specified name.

widget will be called with these options.
