the horizontal scrollbar should be shown when needed but the vertical

scrollbar should always be hidden; "<B>auto +x</B></I>" means the vertical

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

<P>

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

<I>pathName</I></B> argument) and makes it into a ScrolledWindow widget.

Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command

line or in the option database to configure aspects of the

ScrolledWindow widget such as its cursor and relief.

</pre><H3>CREATING WIDGETS INSIDE A SCROLLEDWINDOW WIDGET</H3>

<P>

To create widgets inside a ScrolledWindow widget, one must create the

new widgets relative to the <B>window</B></I> subwidget and manage them

inside the <B>window</B></I> subwidget. An error will be generated if one

tries to create widgets as immediate children of the ScrolledWindow.

For example: the following is correct code, which creates new widgets

inside the window subwidget:

<P>

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

    tixScrolledWindow .w; pack .w

    set f [.w subwidget window]

    button $f.b -text hi -width 40 -height 40

    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 ScrolledWindow <B>\.w</B></I>:

<P>

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

    tixScrolledWindow .w; pack .w

    button .w.b -text hi -width 40 -height 40

    pack .w.b

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

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

<P>

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

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>?

</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 ScrolledWindow 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>tixScrolledWindow</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>tixScrolledWindow</B></I> command.

</DL>

<DL>

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

</I></B>

<DD> When no additional arguments are given, returns the pathname of the

subwidget of the specified name.

When no additional arguments are given, the widget command of the

specified subwidget will be called with these parameters.
