</pre><H3>DESCRIPTION</H3>

<P>

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

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

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

command line or in the option database to configure aspects of the

LabelFrame such as its cursor and relief.

</pre><H3>CREATING WIDGETS INSIDE A LABELFRAME</H3>

<P>

The LabelFrame widget packages a frame widget and a label into one

mega widget. To create widgets inside a LabelFrame widget, one must

create the new widgets relative to the <B>frame</B></I> subwidget and

manage them inside the <B>frame</B></I> subwidget. An error will be

generated if one tries to create widgets as immediate children of the

LabelFrame. For example: the following is correct code, which creates

new widgets inside the frame subwidget:

<P>

<pre><code><code><code>

    tixLabelFrame .f

    set f [.f subwidget frame]

    button $f.b -text hi

    pack $f.b

</code></code></code></pre>

<P>

The following example code is <I>incorrect</I></B> because it tries to

create immediate children of the LabelFrame <B>\.f</B></I>:

<P>

<pre><code><code><code>

    tixLabelFrame .f

    button .f.b -text hi

    pack .f.b

</code></code></code></pre>

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

<P>

The <B>tixLabelFrame</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 LabelFrame 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>tixLabelFrame</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>tixLabelFrame</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.

</DL>
