DESCRIPTION
The tixScrolledListBox command creates a new window (given
by the pathName argument) and makes it into a
ScrolledListBox widget. Additional options, described
above, may be specified on the command line or in the
option database to configure aspects of the ScrolledList-
Box widget such as its cursor and relief.
WIDGET COMMANDS
The tixScrolledListBox command creates a new Tcl command
whose name is the same as the path name of the
ScrolledListBox widget's window. This command may be used
to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the
following general form:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as
the ScrolledListBox widget's path name. Option and the
args determine the exact behavior of the command. The
following commands are possible for ScrolledListBox wid-
gets:
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration
option given by option. Option may have any of the
values accepted by the tixScrolledListBox command.
pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
Query or modify the configuration options of the
widget. If no option is specified, returns a list
describing all of the available options for path-
Name (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the
format of this list). If option is specified with
no value, then the command returns a list describ-
ing the one named option (this list will be identi-
cal to the corresponding sublist of the value
returned if no option is specified). If one or
more option-value 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. Option may have any of
the values accepted by the tixScrolledListBox com-
mand.
pathName subwidget name ?args?
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.
BINDINGS
[1] If the -browsecmd option is set, the command which
it referes to is called whenever a <ButtonPress-1>
or a <Motion-1> event occurrs inside the listbox
subwidget.
[2] The command specified by the -command option is
invoked when a <Double-1> event occurrs inside the
listbox subwidget.
BUGS
The capitalization of some of the commands names in Tix
3.x has been changed in Tix 4.0. All commands that ended
with box have been changed to a capitalized Box. Hence,
the command tixScrolledListbox in Tix 3.x has been changed
to tixScrolledListBox in Tix 4.0
