<P>

The <B>tixButtonBox</B></I> command creates a new window (given by the

<I>pathName</I></B> argument) and makes it into a ButtonBox

widget. Additional options, described above, may be specified on the

ButtonBox such as its cursor and relief.

</pre><H3>WIDGET COMMAND</H3>

<P>

The <B>tixButtonBox</B></I> command creates a new Tcl command whose name is

be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the

following general form:

<pre>

<I>pathName option </I></B>?<I>arg arg ...</I></B>?

</pre>

<I>PathName</I></B> is the name of the command, which is the same as

determine the exact behavior of the command.  The following

commands are possible for ButtonBox widgets:

<DL>

<DT> <I>pathName <B>add <I>buttonName </I></B>?<I>option value ...</I></B>?

</I></B>

<DD> Add a new button subwidget with the name <I>buttonName</I></B> into

the ButtonBox widget. Additional configuration options can be given to

configure the new button subwidget.

</DL>

<DL>

<DT> <I>pathName <B>cget</B></I> <I>option</I></B>

</I></B>

<DD> Returns the current value of the configuration option given by

<I>option</I></B>. <I>Option</I></B> may have any of the values accepted by the

<B>tixButtonBox</B></I> command.

</DL>

<DL>

<DT> <I>pathName <B>configure</B></I> ?<I>option</I></B>? <I>?value option value ...</I></B>?

</I></B>

<DD> Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.  If no

<I>option</I></B> is specified, returns a list describing all of the

available options for <I>pathName</I></B> (see <B>Tk_ConfigureInfo</B></I> for

information on the format of this list). If <I>option</I></B> is specified

with no <I>value</I></B>, 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 <I>option</I></B> is specified).  If

one or more <I>option-value</I></B> 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. <I>Option</I></B> may have

any of the values accepted by the <B>tixButtonBox</B></I> command.
