<P>

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

the <I>pathName</I></B> 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.

<P>

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.

</pre><H3>WIDGET COMMANDS</H3>

<P>

The <B>tixLabelEntry</B></I> command creates a new Tcl command whose

window. This command may 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>?

<P>

</pre>

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

<I>arg</I></B>s determine the exact behavior of the command. The following

commands are possible for LabelEntry widgets:

<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>tixLabelEntry</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>tixLabelEntry</B></I> command.

</DL>

<DL>

<DT> <I>pathName <B>subwidget <I>name ?args?</I></B>

</I></B>

<DD> When no options are given, this command returns the pathname of the

subwidget of the specified name.

When options are given, the widget command of the specified subwidget

will be called with these options.
