.SH DESCRIPTION
|
63 |
|
|
.PP
|
64 |
|
|
The \fBbuttonbox\fR command creates a manager widget for controlling
|
65 |
|
|
buttons. The button box also supports the display and invocation
|
66 |
|
|
of a default button. The button box can be configured either horizontally
|
67 |
|
|
or vertically.
|
68 |
|
|
|
69 |
|
|
.SH "METHODS"
|
70 |
|
|
.PP
|
71 |
|
|
The \fBbuttonbox\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose
|
72 |
|
|
name is \fIpathName\fR. This
|
73 |
|
|
command may be used to invoke various
|
74 |
|
|
operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
|
75 |
|
|
.DS C
|
76 |
|
|
\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
|
77 |
|
|
.DE
|
78 |
|
|
\fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs
|
79 |
|
|
determine the exact behavior of the command.
|
80 |
|
|
.PP
|
81 |
|
|
Many of the widget commands for the buttonbox take as one argument an
|
82 |
|
|
indicator of which button of the button box to operate on. These
|
83 |
|
|
indicators are called \fIindexes\fR and allow reference and manipulation
|
84 |
|
|
of buttons regardless of their current map state. buttonbox indexes
|
85 |
|
|
may be specified in any of the following forms:
|
86 |
|
|
.TP 12
|
87 |
|
|
\fInumber\fR
|
88 |
|
|
Specifies the button numerically, where 0 corresponds to the
|
89 |
|
|
left/top-most button of the button box.
|
90 |
|
|
.TP 12
|
91 |
|
|
\fBend\fR
|
92 |
|
|
Indicates the right/bottom-most button of the button box.
|
93 |
|
|
.TP 12
|
94 |
|
|
\fBdefault\fR
|
95 |
|
|
Indicates the current default button of the button box. This is the
|
96 |
|
|
button with the default ring displayed.
|
97 |
|
|
.TP 12
|
98 |
|
|
\fIpattern\fR
|
99 |
|
|
If the index doesn't satisfy one of the above forms then this
|
100 |
|
|
form is used. \fIPattern\fR is pattern-matched against the tag of
|
101 |
|
|
each button in the button box, in order from left/top to right/left,
|
102 |
|
|
until a matching entry is found. The rules of \fBTcl_StringMatch\fR
|
103 |
|
|
are used.

.SH "WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS"
|
106 |
|
|
.TP
|
107 |
|
|
\fIpathName \fBadd\fR \fItag\fR \fIargs\fR
|
108 |
|
|
Add a button distinguished by \fItag\fR to the end of the button box.
|
109 |
|
|
If additional arguments are present they specify options to be applied
|
110 |
|
|
to the button. See \fBPushButton\fR for information on the options
|
111 |
|
|
available.
|
112 |
|
|
.TP
|
113 |
|
|
\fIpathName \fBbuttonconfigure\fR \fIindex\fR ?\fIoptions\fR?
|
114 |
|
|
This command is similar to the \fBconfigure\fR command, except that
|
115 |
|
|
it applies to the options for an individual button,
|
116 |
|
|
whereas \fBconfigure\fR applies to the options for the button box as a whole.
|
117 |
|
|
\fIOptions\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBPushButton\fR
|
118 |
|
|
command. If \fIoptions\fR are specified, options are modified
|
119 |
|
|
as indicated in the command and the command returns an empty string.
|
120 |
|
|
If no \fIoptions\fR are specified, returns a list describing
|
121 |
|
|
the current options for entry \fIindex\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for
|
122 |
|
|
information on the format of this list).
|
123 |
|
|
.TP
|
124 |
|
|
\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR
|
125 |
|
|
Returns the current value of the configuration option given
|
126 |
|
|
by \fIoption\fR.
|
127 |
|
|
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBbuttonbox\fR
|
128 |
|
|
command.
|
129 |
|
|
.TP
|
130 |
|
|
\fIpathName\fR \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR?
|
131 |
|
|
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.
|
132 |
|
|
If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of
|
133 |
|
|
the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for
|
134 |
|
|
information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified
|
135 |
|
|
with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the
|
136 |
|
|
one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding
|
137 |
|
|
sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified). If
|
138 |
|
|
one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified, then the command
|
139 |
|
|
modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in
|
140 |
|
|
this case the command returns an empty string.
|
141 |
|
|
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBbuttonbox\fR
|
142 |
|
|
command.
|
143 |
|
|
.TP
|
144 |
|
|
\fIpathName \fBdefault\fR \fIindex\fR
|
145 |
|
|
Sets the default button to the button given by \fIindex\fR. This causes
|
146 |
|
|
the default ring to appear arround the specified button.
|
147 |
|
|
.TP
|
148 |
|
|
\fIpathName \fBdelete\fR \fIindex\fR
|
149 |
|
|
Deletes the button given by \fIindex\fR from the button box.
|
150 |
|
|
.TP
|
151 |
|
|
\fIpathName \fBhide\fR \fIindex\fR
|
152 |
|
|
Hides the button denoted by \fIindex\fR. This doesn't remove the button
|
153 |
|
|
permanently, just inhibits its display.
|
154 |
|
|
.TP
|
155 |
|
|
\fIpathName \fBindex \fIindex\fR
|
156 |
|
|
Returns the numerical index corresponding to \fIindex\fR.
|
157 |
|
|
.TP
|
158 |
|
|
\fIpathName \fBinsert \fIindex\fR \fItag\fR ?\fIoption value option value ...\fR?
|
159 |
|
|
Same as the \fBadd\fR command except that it inserts the new
|
160 |
|
|
button just before the one given by \fIindex\fR, instead of appending
|
161 |
|
|
to the end of the button box. The \fIoption\fR, and \fIvalue\fR
|
162 |
|
|
arguments have the same interpretation as for the \fBadd\fR widget
|
163 |
|
|
command.
|
164 |
|
|
.TP
|
165 |
|
|
\fIpathName \fBinvoke\fR \fI?index?\fR
|
166 |
|
|
Invoke the command associated with a button. If no arguments
|
167 |
|
|
are given then the current default button is invoked, otherwise the argument
|
168 |
|
|
is expected to be a button \fIindex\fR.
|
169 |
|
|
.TP
|
170 |
|
|
\fIpathName \fBshow\fR \fIindex\fR
|
171 |
|
|
Display a previously hidden button denoted by \fIindex\fR.
|
